Moya Knyzhkova Polytsya Kyiv

Coffee and books

Svetlana from Kyiv

About me I like cities & woods, wine & food, walking around & telling stories. Although I have a huge experience in the travel sphere and run a travel business of my own, I personally prefer to travel as a local. I’ve experienced how different cities can be explored if you’re travelling alone or guided by locals. That's why I would love to share my experience ...
""Moya Knyzhkova Polytsya" in Kyiv isn't a usual coffee house -- I love spending time here with a book, and it's easy to find one of your favorites here..."

As you might have already noticed Kyiv loves coffee. Locals drink coffee while working and while walking around, in the morning and at night, in the metro and in the taxi. Good coffee is worshiped and valued. But the most lovable thing about coffee is just having a moment to enjoy it without hurry. This option is available in Moya knyzhkova polytsya ('My bookshelf').

Moya knyzhkova polytsya is located not far from Kreshchatyk street and Teatralna metro station and is not a usual coffee house. Basically it’s a coffee house with books. Here you can spend your time doing two of most enjoyable things in the world: drinking coffee and reading. In Moya knyzhkova polytsya you’ll definitely find one of your favorite books (in English, too!) and good coffee. And if you get hungry, there are some snacks – sweets, sandwiches and pies. When I am waiting for someone or have some free time, I like to spend it in Moya knyzhkova polytsya.

About me I like cities & woods, wine & food, walking around & telling stories. Although I have a huge experience in the travel sphere and run a travel business of my own, I personally prefer to travel as a local. I’ve experienced how different cities can be explored if you’re travelling alone or guided by locals. That's why I would love to share my experience and impressions with others, to show my favorite city to world travelers from a different side and to discover new places together. It will be a great experience both for you and for me! ...
