The river Brda flows through the city, making it a tranquil and peaceful place to enjoy a good coffee. As an up and coming tourist destination, these cafés are the best places for your morning mocha or your lunch-time latte when you end up on the streets of Bydgoszcz.

Kogel Mogel

Cafe, Contemporary, Polish

Kogel Mogel is a cool and local café situated in a residential area away from the city center. Advertised as a “play cafe,” families can take their children here as there is a play area. As well as a good coffee menu, Kogel Mogel serves up healthy fruit smoothies and some very tasty cookies.

Hotel Przystan Cafe

The swanky Hotel Przystan is a sight to behold with its splendid design and its riverside location.

Famous for good ice cream, gorgeous cakes, and strong coffee, Zimmer Caffe is well worth the visit.

Bydgoszcz’s popular STReFA cafe has a unique selling point. It doubles up as a place for coffee lovers and somewhere to learn yoga!
