The Lowdown

Yo, coffee crew, listen up—there’s a fresh spot in the Old Town scene, and it’s serving more than your basic lattes. Say hello to Kruszant on Romana Szymańskiego 8/1a, just around the corner from Polwiejska street. The guy behind it? A local legend who turned his coffee hustle into a full-blown passion. Started on instant, leveled up to espresso, ditched the milk, and got hooked on the art of the brew. Now, he’s also bringing us Cascara.

What Is Cascara?

Alright, you know coffee, you know tea, but do you know Cascara? This stuff is straight-up wild—it’s brewed from the dried fruit of coffee cherries, the OG layer around coffee beans. The taste? A smooth hit of raisin, cherry, and hibiscus vibes.

Not just tasty, though—Cascara’s got mad health benefits. Packed with antioxidants, it boosts your immune game and gives you that clean energy buzz without the shaky hands. It’s like coffee’s cooler, low-key sibling.

Away from the crowds

Kruszant’s not just about that Cascara life though. They’ve got specialty coffee that’ll have your taste buds doing flips, matcha and kombucha for the zen crew, and pistachio croissants that are straight-up fire—plus cakes that keep it fresh so you’re never bored. The vibe? Straight-up cozy. Perfect for kicking back with your squad, hitting the books, or getting lost in a good read.

Show Some Love

The Old Town’s got spots, but Kruszant’s doing something different. If you’re about supporting local new businesses the go try their Cascara. If you’re looking for something that’s not your typical coffee run, this is where you need to be.
