Nice cozy coffee shop, the staff is polite and friendly, unfortunately we were on a day off and maybe the staff was loaded in a half-empty hall)))) and we had to wait a long time for the dishes to be prepared, and while we were waiting for the dishes, dessert with coffee was immediately brought to us, and because of this, of course, the cappuccino was already waiting and we ate our dishes and started it, and this spoiled the impression of this particular establishment of this chain. The hall was clean, and so was the bathroom. Will I recommend this particular place to my friends, perhaps I will recommend to my friends the coffee shop of this chain on Osmolovka, as they cope with the workload better, but I think if you want to visit this place on a weekday morning, then I think everything will be great!

An interesting concept for Minsk. In a city where there aren't many stylish, interesting projects, this is a real find. In youth terms, it's a fashionable place))
You can buy cool books, postcards, magazines. A good department with literature on architecture. The prices are average.
There's a coffee shop in the next room. It can be crowded.

We enter the courtyard in the busiest place in Minsk and it's like another world!! I really like raspberry + orange smoothie with juice. My husband always drinks non-sweet cocoa. I like everything. There were three times. Our order has not changed yet. And next time, smoothies again. In spring, there will be tables on the sunny, windless side. Rush. After the cafe, you can view books. The audience is different and unusual, and our Belarusian tolerance is evident. The staff is young and diligent, attentive. It's all clear.

An interesting concept of combining a bookstore and a coffee shop, something like Subscription publications in St. Petersburg, but at lower speeds, matching the compactness of Minsk. Thanks to the team for decorating the city with a stylish place for the creative elite in the good sense of the word, the city lacks this. But I can't give 5 stars, since waiting for a salad for almost an hour without warning is a long time, unfortunately, the service is slow. Of course, the place is not primarily about food, but you expect that even in such a simple salad there will be no "worm holes" in the apple) The ice matcha latte lacked saturation, rather more milk-flavored matches, but overall delicious. In general, the impression is positive, but I would say that this is more a place about fashion and urban hangout than about tastes and comfort. While I was looking for a book to really buy it, I got a little tired of giving way to everyone who just came in to take a picture against the background of the shelves in the institute. So it will not always be easy to sit down and enjoy a book or the process of choosing it) This is my opinion, but in general, respect for having created such an original corner

The guys rented a large room and combined a bookstore + a coffee shop
The idea is cool, but the implementation....
In one hall they sit and read quietly, in the other there is some kind of pub
Everyone is making noise and not blushing, the interior seems stylish, but everything is flimsy, uncomfortable and bought at a flea market for a ruble.
The menu is quite rich, but the prices are not justified
I wouldn 't have come back here a second time , and I wouldn 't have come by.

I love places like this, it's interesting to look at books, look for something interesting, enjoy the interior, and almost always there are interesting postcards in such places (here too, I was happy to send them to six recipients, although I didn't plan to). I was there twice, both times the staff were pleasant and polite, just like in the coffee shop (interesting menu and very tasty pastries and drink)

Cool coffee shop. Excellent coffee and equally delicious desserts. You can either work or just relax. I am especially pleased to have a bookstore.

Unfortunately, the visit did not go well :
1. a cockroach running on the floor scared me, the workers said that they are poisoned every week, but they still appear
2. in the area where the cafe was uncomfortable, the tables are very close, you do not hear the interlocutor, but people from neighboring tables, you can not move to the library (there are chairs and tables) with food or dessert, you can only have a drink.
3. There was a hair in the dessert, the waiter said that she did not see it (my friend also clearly saw it), but she replaced the dessert.

It's cool that now bookstores are combined with a coffee shop, they probably want to take advantage of the popularity of coffee shops, not the popularity of bookstores.

I went to Minsk for a couple of days from St. Petersburg, this place completely changed my idea of the city, which was formed initially. The place is lively, bright, very tasty food, delicious and varied selection on the funnel. An excellent selection of books - I wanted to buy everything, but I took one that I hadn't even heard of before, I'm glad to find it. Excellent staff, the atmosphere, the interior - everything is amazing. I wanted to come to Minsk again in many ways for the sake of this place)

The nicest place to have breakfast, meet friends, read and buy books.
Coffee and food are typical.
But it is not suitable for working outside the office: cellular communication almost does not catch, and local wifi (according to the employees themselves, and after checking) does not even pull text messengers, here there is something to work with.

The staff is very pleasant, the girls are cute and friendly, the coffee is delicious, but the cheesecake was not pleased, they put it like half, and it does not taste like cheesecake. The atmosphere is good, especially if there are few people, but you need to get there successfully. Prices are average in Minsk, perhaps a little higher

The atmosphere is great, but the last time was an unpleasant situation.
I am very good with animals and often visit this cafe with dogs. So such people came and their dogs barked for 15 minutes. They said that we were in a pet friendly cafe, I understand that, but I don't understand why you can't calm the dogs... I had to leave with a colleague, because my head hurt anyway, and their barking made it even worse
And so the cafe is 10 out of 10

A good trendy coffee shop with a small kitchen. Expensive Italian coffee machine and correspondingly good coffee, not wow, but above average for sure. The staff is a bit slow, but it fits the concept. Baking on a solid four

Marks is personally my favorite place when I want to sit in peace and work.
First of all, I would like to mention the excellent staff. I can't say that I come in regularly, but it's very nice that the barista remembered me and based on my past preferences chose the best dish for me.
Almost all places are equipped with sockets, so it is very convenient to come with laptops to work.
And of course, it is impossible not to mention the book department: cinema, music, art, architecture and much more can be found on the shelves.
I definitely recommend visiting this place, and more than once. I come back all the time.

A quiet pleasant place, hidden from the city noise in the courtyards. Perfect for digesting the impressions of walking around the city.
And the yard itself plunges into a cozy past.

Do you want to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city, work with a laptop, make an appointment, just have a cup of coffee or tea in a relaxed atmosphere, or maybe a glass of wine..?
In the courtyard between Independence Avenue and Karl Marx Street there is a wonderful establishment, just for this occasion;)
Two halls. The first one has a coffee shop, and the second one has a bookstore. The kind girls will definitely pick up something for you from the world of art criticism, cinema, non-fiction, philosophy and modern prose.
P.S.
It's not so easy to find an institution the first time. It is better to turn to the instagram of the institution for a detailed description of how to get to this secluded corner of the creative people of Minsk.

Either a bookshop or a coffee shop. The coffee is great. The hall is divided into two parts - a coffee shop and a bookstore. In a coffee shop, you can't take books from a bookstore and read. You can't drink coffee in the bookshop (you might get books dirty). It's all strange.

As a cafe, not really. There is very little space and the tables are very close to each other. In addition, for some reason, people with laptops often confuse cafes with coworking. In the evenings, desserts are no longer the first freshness, but they are higher than the average in the center.
Bookstore is more like bookcrossing -- you can find something unusual, but some books look out of place. Well, the categories are my respect. Something abstract like "the taste of yesterday's sunset" is pretentious, but uncomfortable.

The idea of books in a cafe is very good. But this place does not suit me with uncomfortable, too closely spaced tables. I am very uncomfortable when there is so little space. And desserts are interesting.
