Kaferdam – Old Town, Grobla 30
After the opening of Trzecia Kawa in Jezyce, owner Paweł took a step further and joined forces with Dominik, the 4th barista at this year’s Polish Championships. Together, they crafted a new coffee emblem for the city. Kaferdam is a space brilliantly designed—two rooms arranged to collaboratively shape an atmosphere, fantastic embellishments, plants, neon lights, a crocodile above the door, and a spacious bar. It’s extraordinary, and we’re only beginning with the ambiance of this exceptionally atmospheric café in Poznań. Here, you can enjoy seasonal breakfasts, delightful nitro, coffees from European roasters, natural wines, and afternoon tapas. With superb baristas, an excellent Dominik, and Paweł occasionally in the shadows but equally superb, it unequivocally reigns as the king of Poznań, unlikely to be dethroned anytime soon.
