I visited Fabryczna in autumn by coincidence while I was looking for something hot to drink. Not only did I get beautiful hot ginger and lemon infusion, I was also amazed by the coziness of this tiny place: music, newspapers to read, an exhibition of a contemporary artists' work to be purchased, hanging on the walls.
Every visit reminds me of a small French bistro where you sit next to the window and can simply gaze at passengers.
The Rydz-Śmigły Park just oposite the street makes this place a perfect location for a coffee before or after heading off for a walk or visiting the districts Powiśle and/or Solec.
