Khlebozavod #9 Moscow

Reintegrated industrial spot

""Khlebozavod #9" in Moscow used to be a bread factory - nowadays it's one of those ex-industrial spots that have been completely transformed..."

There're so many jokes about hipsters, but they know what to do when it comes to reviving former industrial areas. The most recent example is Khlebozavod #9, which used to make bread years ago. The residents are just joining the project and renovation is not over yet but I can suggest some places already.

One of the first spots to appear was the Volchok clothes brand, one of the leading ones in Russian street-wear. Even with a dozen of residing brand their location remains stylish with its wooden facade. Another place to go is Asia supermarket - they are one of few spots that sell original Asian stuff, but the most exciting is that they serve huge bowls of pho, soup from South-East Asia. I've tried it several times and just one course is enough to keep you satisfied.

Moreover, the spot already hosts several coffee shops (KOF is a super one), lecture centers and small local brands. The location is also suitable for parties; when I was passing by the huge shed, I would have never known that it would have made for an event space.

The neighborhood is getting better week by week. Last year there were just several shops here but now more and more building are renovated and attract new residents for the area. And the new styleguide for Khebzavod is also astonishing - I love Russian avantgarde, and I hope you too! Don't forget the public terrace when it's sunny. ;)

Zvezda

Cozy cinema

"Zvezda" is a cinema in Moscow unlike other cinemas. I generally don't like going out to see movies with friends, but this one is so cozy, it's changed me.

Kotofeynya

Сoffee, tea and cats

"Kotofeynya" Moscow is a time cafe, so visitors only pay for the time spent there. The real stars though, are its 9 cats. They're antidepressant, I'm sure.

The place with the gripping name
