Tucked inside the Dominican church tower on Freta, To Lubię is the kind of cozy café that feels like a warm hug in the heart of Nowe Miasto. You'll find yourself drawn here for their fluffy cheesecake, rich brownies with cherries, and that signature croissant paired with their intense Brazilian arabica coffee. It's a favorite among locals who appreciate the snug, slightly cramped interior and the sense that the world outside just fades away.
A Cozy Historic Café with Excellent Pastries
To Lubię is a true neighborhood gem tucked away in the historic tower of the Dominican church on Freta Street. The interior is snug and intimate, with a warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel like you're visiting a friend's home. Their baked goods are consistently excellent—especially the fluffy cheesecake and the chocolatey brownies studded with cherries. The coffee is a standout, made from 100% Brazilian arabica with rich, chocolatey notes that pair perfectly with their pastries.
What really sets this place apart is the attention to detail and the sense of tradition. They even serve Dominican mead, a historic Polish drink with a recipe dating back to 1603, which you can try warmed in winter or chilled in summer. It's the kind of spot where you can linger over a single coffee and cake for hours, watching the world go by from their charming, slightly cramped interior.
