I really like the place– is located in Kazimierz district but in the part I like the most. Place itself is very nicely decorated and somehow familiar …:) It brought me some memories. While sipping my milk & honey drink I read the book from the library located in there and also later on took part in special event. All was prepared so well and food — humous and wine and olives were delicious. It was such lovely evening and it was so calm and service was so friendly. I like the idea of having wine testing evening too and also before I was listening to Jewish traditional music and took a stroll around district– all put me in different mood and lift me up a bit — because I am in miserable condition due to other problems– visit in Cheder brought a bit light to me…:)

THE best coffee I’ve ever had. I’m a coffee snob, so that says a lot. I had been staying in the center of Krakow over the summer, which to people who know Krakow, is a super touristy spot. A friend and I decided it was time to get out of the center of Krakow and explore the surrounding neighborhoods. We ended up going to Kazimierz and check out the café and restaurant scene. We just happened to stumble upon Cheder – as we were in desperate need of caffeine. Walking in, It has a really inviting and cozy with authentic Jewish charm. We sat down on a bench with a table and comfy pillows. We loved how they were playing 60’s pop in the background, which made it an fun place to chill and relax. After looking over the menu, I decided to order the Israeli coffee. Expecting a small up of coffee, the barista brings out a large vintage-looking pot of coffee. It was honestly SO good. It was spiced to perfection. The presentation was incredible too. I enjoyed every sip of it. The baristas there were really nice too. My friend and I could only speak minimal Polish, so the baristas were patient enough as we ordered. Even helped us with our Polish. This coffee shop is definitely going to be a hard one to top in the States.

A really good place to sit or work, with a super-eclectic selection of music. I once heard a Jewish Cowboy singer singing about Yom Kippur on the range on the stereo. Their spicy Israeli coffee is delicious as is their Israeli Tea with fresh mint leaves. Have a slice of baclava, and chill out on the rugs and pillows with the low tables on the stage.

Quaint charming Jewish inspired café on the corner of Jozefa and Jakuba in the heart of Kazimierz. Fresh daily baked baklava, pita sandwich bites, refreshing Moroccan mint tea, and and an eclectic little library of everything Polish-Jewish. There are frequently scheduled live music sessions, talks, and classes here too.

A spacious but cosy jewish café that is easily ignored as you pass by the Jozefa street if you are not aware of its existence, yet quite popular in the Kazimierz café scene from wyat I have gathered. Excellent location for some afternoon tea and reading in a well lit atmosphere around the tables during the day. The staff is always welcoming and very friendly. I just wish they had a few more tables as I do think there would be space to accommodate it without ruining the ambience.
