A very quiet coffee shop. Inside it looks peaceful with very pleasant gray tones, and most importantly it does not look boring and it was very pleasant and comfortable to sit and drink coffee there. One of the advantages is that after visiting, you do not need to clean anything yourself.
And now about coffee, we took a 350ml cappuccino with hazelnut syrup and a maple grill latte. Surprisingly, the taste without sugar turned out to be very soft and good, it is clear that they did their best to prepare all the coffee.
It's a pity that I didn't try dessert this time, but this omission will be corrected at the next coffee shop.
Special thanks to the very pleasant and well-mannered staff, they always listen and calmly know how to wait.

I occasionally visit this coffee chain and always enjoy the pleasant service, but today I was especially pleased. The girl made a very tasty polar express. The place is clean, pleasantly banal and relax in the warmth!

Convenient location. Pleasant baristas, good service, at least to take away. The coffee is delicious. Only one thing, very little ice is put in cold drinks. From such a quantity, the drink does not have time to cool down as it should. The ice melts very quickly. As a result, we get a cool drink diluted with water.

I'm not a fan of leaving negative reviews, but I just couldn't do it here..
I came to the coffee shop in the afternoon, there were few people. I waited for the cheesecakes for 20 minutes, + serving in a very small plate, which is very inconvenient. I found a hair in the cheesecakes (inside!) but she did not talk about it and escalate the conflict.
Next, I came and wanted to RELAX, but the BACKGROUND music was playing in the coffee shop (I don't mind such music, but not in coffee shops) because of this, gooova was very sick and I wanted to leave the coffee shop as soon as possible!

Coffee is good, as in all brews!)

A great place, cozy and atmospheric. Clean, cool music is playing, like Chris Isaac Wicked game and deftones. I ordered cocoa and a classic croissant, everything was very tasty, I took cocoa with sugar, but it was a little bitter.

I went in for a snack, the sandwiches were delicious, there are no questions about them.But immediately from the entrance, the untidiness of the establishment catches the eye.There are dirty dishes, crumbs, etc. on the tables directly opposite the entrance.There were two girls on shift, while one took the order, the second cleaned the dishes, but there was no question of wiping the tables, removing crumbs, sweeping.I spent 15-20 minutes in the coffee shop, during which time there were not many people, but the dirty table next to me was not cleaned, as, in fact, the crumbs

A nice, beautiful, cozy place. We arrived at 9:30, there was no one, we had a company of 7 people, took coffee and cheesecakes (cheesecakes 3 servings). The coffee was brought almost immediately, it was delicious (though I would like it along with the cheesecakes, well). Cheesecakes were told to wait 20 minutes when ordering, which is not fast, considering that they do not need to be cooked, but only reheated, but within reason)) as a result, they were brought in 50 minutes.
I understand, one employee, "zapara" and all the rest. The girl didn't even apologize for what happened, but what if I'm in a hurry? Why doesn't anyone think about the client?
By the way, the cheesecakes were very tasty!
Tighten up the service and you can walk)

One of the advantages is the location, sometimes there are pleasant baristas, sometimes there are delicious pies. Of the cons, everything else. Getting a fresh croissant is a great success. It's easy to get on a croissant cracker! But! The main and most serious disadvantage is coffee. I do not know what the problem is.…A barista? In the coffee machine? In the grain? But the coffee in this brew is just terrible. And if at first coffee drinks with the addition of milk could still be drunk somehow, then Americano and espresso are like poison. At the last attempt to give the coffee shop another chance, I took a cappuccino with a bright bittersweet overcooked taste. I had to pour it out. Apparently now you shouldn't drink coffee drinks with milk either… Maybe someday I'll look in again, but now it's definitely just for tea or cocoa))

I ordered a cappuccino with me, there were 2 people in the establishment, after 8-10 minutes the girl gave one of the 2 coffees to the couple who was in front of me, and began to prepare a second drink for them. I did not wait for my coffee, realizing that it would be cooked after another 10 minutes, my opinion is: coffee with you, especially in the morning, should be prepared no more than 5 minutes, but not 15 + minutes when there are no guests. Please pay attention to the speed of the staff, thank you.

Of all the Brews I've been to, this one has the most delicious coffee. My wife and I always go here. I hope it stays that way)
However, last time, they didn't put lime in the espresso tonic, let's hope they just forgot)

It's cozy, coffee on a hard plate, cheesecakes, cereals - everything is fine. But there is no "Wow" effect. It's just good. What is missing in the interior and the taste of coffee itself is not ideal for a connoisseur of espresso and Americano (fresh roast, Colombia or Brazil)

Not a bad cozy cafe, the main thing is not far from the Moskovskaya metro crossing and
a public transport stop I would like something to have a hot snack, they will think about it and there will be a better assortment, They do not have a bad coffee machine, grain is not very good, they will listen to suggestions

Two advantages for coffee and desserts - coffee is good for such a price, but there are no questions about desserts, because it is done by the chefs of the pastry shop, which is not part of the property of "Varki". And minus 3 stars for the barista's attitude towards the guests. As rude as possible, it remains only to hang a sign "No trespassing, welcome from here." They were friendly and welcoming only in the first week after the opening, and then only hardcore. Here is a colorful illustration: we went to them at 20.30, the barista warned that they were working until 21.45 for technical reasons. Okay, we sat down in the back room, brought coffee. At 21.20, a barista girl comes up and says that this room is open until 21.30 and now there will be cleaning. In general, such a picture of service made a depressing impression, so now I try not to go to this chain of coffee shops, of which there are already more than Wildberries pick-up points.

I regularly visit the cafe on Voronyansky , so there is something to compare it with. Since I plan to open my own, I decided to drive around the city and see the location, the size of the premises, and most importantly, the quality of service. The quality is zero. Since my son was with his family, he immediately noticed that the assortment was meager, the shelves were empty, unlike on Voronyansky, everything was always filled. Well, we took one dessert from the presented selection. It came to the table, the table is dirty, with dirty dishes and a bunch of napkins after the previous visitor, while the girl is sitting in an armchair and playing on the phone))) I asked to clean the table, she came and cleaned it, but the dirty napkins remained, I moved them to the next table, went to wash my hands, the dispenser did not work, but there was soap in the bottle, I washed it, there were no paper towels, okay, I'll wipe it with toilet paper, it also did not turn out. The overall picture is spoiled, it's better to drive a little further, but sit in a good atmosphere. The place is very passable and you need to keep the brand. I ask the management to pay attention to this.

I love the chain of these coffee shops, I always visit Cooking, in particular, on V. Khoruzhey Street, not so much because of coffee and desserts, but because of the sweetest and kindest soul of the barista girl who always works there. And then I decided to visit this particular department at the Moskovskaya metro station in the hope that the level of service would be as always. But specifically yesterday I was faced with some unexpected rudeness on the part of two girls working at the point. I will immediately stipulate that I am writing a review openly so that the management is aware of it, and these two ladies recognize me, so that, I hope, they feel ashamed of their behavior, which was not conditioned by anything. I place an order, sit down at a dirty (and I will make a big emphasis on this) table, because there were no other places. There were crumbs on the table, huge and already dried traces of something sweet and sticky. Well, I think when the order arrives, the girls will guess to clean it up, because it's trash. I even regret that I didn't take a photo, how dirty it was after previous visitors. I'm sitting, waiting, a young man is sitting next to me. By the way, we have been waiting for a long time, although the order was small - two coffees and one tiny marshmallow pasta, which did not need to be cut or heated. And I will also put a lot of emphasis on this, because they carried this dessert for a significantly long time, I even had to go and ask them to bring it - it looked so ridiculous. Instead, they started processing other orders. If I hadn't reminded them, they wouldn't have brought it. It's okay, right? That is, an ordinary quiet, even sometimes shy person comes (I'm talking to myself), who even speaks in half a tone, and two girls begin to pointedly ignore you and pretend that we don't exist, as if we shat on the carpet there right in the apartment. In short, when the entire order was brought in half with grief (no "please" - nothing), and the table remained significantly covered with crumbs and streaks, my friend freaked out, took napkins himself and began to peel the table from the dirt.
Appeal to employees who worked on 09/13/2023 In the evening at the point: I'm sorry, what did I interrupt you with yesterday? By sitting down at a dirty table, because there was nothing else? What was difficult - to take a rag and wipe it? And why did they carry the macaroon for 10 minutes, and then only after I came up and asked? There has been no such service in shawarma outlets for a long time, as you have out of the blue. You can watch the footage from the camera, you can get angry or whisper among yourselves - whatever you want, but you behaved like hillbillies yesterday, by God. It would be one thing if I were rude to you, demanded something over-the-top, but I came - an ordinary calm girl, usually having made an order. Appeal to the management: change or have conversations with employees. When your girls are fanning their fingers instead of working and the crown falls to wipe the tables, when it is obviously filled with sticky sweet drinks and covered in crumbs - your service will fall lower and lower. You don't even have to talk about "please" and "have a nice evening." At least get them to do their job and keep order. Don't they want to? Let them leave the catering. They can't work with people.

Among the advantages, I can note a pleasant interior and convenient location, in summer - delicious lemonades. That, alas, is all.
The coffee is mediocre, watery, barely warm: slowly enjoying coffee while sitting in a coffee shop will not work, I'm afraid to imagine what will happen if you take it with you in winter weather. I won't talk about all the baking, but the croissant is a great story. Either it's from yesterday, or it's somehow miraculously stale by 12 a.m. If it is yesterday's, then the red price is far from 4p. Perhaps there is no such problem with croissants with fillings. On top of that, the baristas here are not the most friendly and interested (or maybe it's just me who got into them).
In general:
1. come in to warm up/ cool down, pass the time - yes
2. to come here on purpose by yourself or with friends to have a pleasant conversation over a cup of coffee - definitely not
P/s visiting some other coffee shops of this chain caused much more positive emotions

I have been to this coffee shop three times, and all these three times the croissant was not served fresh)) I would like to draw the attention of the staff of this institution that it is not a fresh croissant ... some kind of cheesecake is still okay, but not this.
In my opinion, this is the weakest Varka in Minsk.

Coffee, alas, did not please, Americano with milk boiled water temperature, had to drink after 10 minutes, it was a disaster, how hot. Extremely unfriendly and slow girl at the checkout / barista. Waiting for two coffees took 8+ minutes. I haven't been to other Cooking points, but I didn't think that at least one of them could be so sad.
Two stars only for Flat White. So there would be 1 :(

A good coffee shop, they do it quickly and efficiently enough, I take coffee here often and so far there have been no bad cases. There is an application where you can make a pre-order, but they start making coffee only after paying on the spot, you can't pay in the application, so I didn't understand what the point was.

This is the first Cooking where I see such dirt. There are crumbs on the table, there are stains and debris under the table, and there is garbage on the couch. There is no toilet seat in the toilet (this is the first time I've seen it in a coffee shop). I ordered coffee with dessert, the dishes were not served, there are no napkins on the table either.

I often go to this coffee shop , or rather I went .
I bought 2 tartlets, put one, returned with the words that you did not report in 5 minutes, and they sold it even though they knew that they did not report. And they didn't even postpone it for at least half an hour in case I come back! Offered something in exchange, or come tomorrow 😕
Look what they put in for you .

there is simply no service. every time I come in and hear customer discussions. do you want to wash the bones of those who pay you? do it after the shift at least, and not in front of your own customers. constantly dissatisfied faces. if you don't like working, look for another place. disgusting, it's better to go to another coffee shop. there are plenty of decent coffee shops in Minsk.
