Odette Warsaw

Best cakes

""Odette" Warsaw is one of the cafes with my favourite desserts in town. The spot is very inviting given its large windows and modern interior..."

Odette is arguably the place with the best desserts in Warsaw. They have two locations: one Odette Cukiernia (cafe) described here and Odette Tea Room. I usually go to the first one because it's in Powiśle which is one my favourite neighbourhoods in Warsaw.

The spot looks very inviting from the outside already, thanks to its large windows. The interior is very modern and at the same takes inspiration from '70s design which creates a pleasant ambience and is not overwhelming.

At Odette you can experience a concept they call "haute patisserie" which basically means they serve artisanal artistic desserts made in their on-site bakery. You will instantly understand why they use this name when you look at the glass display full of small cakes, eclairs, macaroons and others. Due to my personal preference most often I go for the chocolate mousse or something else with chocolate and I'm never disappointed, possibly because they use the famous Varhona chocolate.

To accompany the dessert you can choose one of several delicious teas ranging from classic black to more sophisticated teas mixed with fruit and spices.
