Here we go, the place everybody wanted and nagged to have here in Kyiv has appeared here at last. Svit Kavy, the roaster brand every cafe here is proud to name as their bean supplier, has found itself a sweet historical centre location.

Authentic coffee from Lviv, as well as some special editions brought from overseas are on offer here. Latte art is a hobby for all of the staff, so you will receive nice milky sketches for the mood of the day in your coffee. They have pure unsweetened hot chocolate and other sweet things – huge home made rose, mint, lavender and caramel macarons brought straight from Lviv. They’re very unusual flavours and full of that creamy filling. Light fruit cake and famous cookies are also now available at the Kyiv branch. If hungry, you can also have a fresh mozzarella-tomato baguette.

It’s a friendly place with friendly people and has made itself truly Lviv in Kyiv. It’s a chance for you as a visitor to find out what this other city in Ukraine is like.
