Sometimes we all really want to go back to our past, and we rush to the places where our student years and youth once passed, hoping for at least a moment to plunge into an atmosphere full of expectations, feelings, naive dreams and plans.. The Central Cafeteria is a unique place in the center of the capital, where you can jump back in time).. Not only the Soviet-era style with magnificent stucco, bright bas-reliefs and luxurious chandeliers has been preserved here. Real Soviet cakes are still sold in the Central store, and they are made according to the preserved recipe! Among their signature confectionery desserts, I would single out Potato cake, a Basket with protein cream, Yumbik and the famous Dream cake, created according to a unique patented recipe. The dream is prepared in two versions: in the form of rolls and a traditional cake. I recommend trying the classic rectangular version: a delicate airy sponge cake with a layer of boiled condensed milk with walnuts and blue poppy seeds, and a light sticky cream on top.. Mmm... it's incredibly delicious! By the way, you can buy a whole Dream cake in the next department, and they fly apart instantly! This is the taste of childhood that we so often dream of) They also prepare their own unique masterpiece here - Oscar branded coffee. A thick, fluffy foam whipped with cream, protein and cognac is perfectly combined with rich black coffee. This drink will amaze even the most sophisticated gourmets! The audience here gathers the most diverse. The smells of juicy chebureks, fried pies, aromatic coffee and alcoholic beverages cover the entrance and fill the entire space. The bartender Alexander is helpful and attentive, serves quickly, clearly, easily. A "cleanliness fairy" works in the hall, which keenly monitors the order on the tables and the bar - everything is cleaned instantly and imperceptibly. If you want to be nostalgic, go here. There are very few places left with such a vivid history and an unusually warm atmosphere. Thanks to the owners of Central for saving this tiny fragment of the bygone Soviet era..

This place holds many of our memories. Strangely, the Central One always looks better in the photo than in reality. But I love him for: Chandeliers, Decor and bas-reliefs in color, Large windows, Gorgeous view of the avenue, The opportunity to drink many types of coffee, snacks and sweets, Meeting with friends, A chance to keep warm. Russian bloggers who say that you can feel like you're in the USSR here don't understand why and why we love Central. And there are no associations for me, because I have been living in 2 centuries for a long time.

Interesting interior, fabulous. There are tables and chairs, as well as the longest bar counter. I was not original and ordered a Dream cake and Oscar coffee. The cake is fresh, the cream is delicate. It's just like when I was a kid.
