2. Hamlet Café

What could be cosier than having a coffee in a grandmother’s living room? That is the feeling you get when entering Café Hamlet in Kazimierz. The furniture is old-fashioned and doesn't match and all the tables have crochet table cloths. Together, these things give you the impression of visiting a home. And perhaps you are? The old lady hosting the café is interesting and friendly and you really feel taken care of.

The menu is quite small but very typically Polish with pierogi (ravioli) and zurek (sour soup). The cakes are delicious and low priced. They're mostly different kinds of homemade fruit cakes.

Overall, Café Hamlet is a place with great atmosphere and a great location near ul. Dietla so you can easily stop by for a cosy coffee while being in the old Jewish quarter. It is also a place to go to spot locals - older polish men often stop by for their daily coffee!
