Happy New Year everyone!

Can you think on something better than a coffee in the morning, in a cozy cafe place, in a new city on a freezing day? 🥶

It's COFFEE, of course! ☕️🤎

I wanted to show you around the Hard Rock Cafe in Varsovia (Warsaw), Poland. 🇵🇱

We've been here at the begining of December, maybe some of you remember my post about Costa Cafe in Krakow.
Outside was cold, really cold, especially in the morning.
But it was absolutely perfect to spot this cafe in our way to the mall nearby. And what a lovely vibe it was inside the Cafè! Good thing it was warm and we've got a table on the window side. I love this particularly spot in a restaurant or a cafè, no matter what we'd serve. 🪟

The Cafe Place is located in the City Center, right near The Palace of Culture and Science and Zlote Tarasy Shopping Mall. There are also bus station and tram lines near by, a few minutes walk (under five I think).

This is the exact adress: Ul. Zlota 59, Złote Tarasy, Mazovia Province
Złota 59, Warsaw 00-120 PL

Quick look to Hard Rock Cafe History

The first Hard Rock Cafe opened on June 14, 1971, at 150 Old Park Lane, Hyde Park, Mayfair, London, under the ownership of two Americans, Isaac Tigrett and Peter Morton. Hard Rock initially had an eclectic decor, but it later started to display memorabilia. In 1978, a second location was opened in Toronto, Canada.

The chain began to expand worldwide in 1982 when Morton opened Hard Rock Cafes in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Houston, and Tigrett opened locations in New York, Dallas, Boston, Washington, D.C., Orlando as well as Paris and Berlin.

HRC is known for its collection of rock-and-roll memorabilia. The cafes solicit donations of music memorabilia but also purchase a number of items at auctions around the world, including autographed guitars, costumes from world tours and rare photographs; these are often to be found mounted on cafe walls. The collection began in 1979 with an un-signed Red Fender Lead II guitar from Eric Clapton, who was a regular at the first restaurant in London.

The menu is not too bad either. There are a few choices included, and I think everyone can find something to enjoy on breakfast with a coffee.

So, we had breakfast on the hotel, which is why we only chose a coffee. My husband had an espresso macchiato and I've had a cappuccino.
The espresso came with a glass of water, as it is usually served in lots of cafès.

When it comes to coffee, I can't be critical and say to you if it was wooooaaw or bad. I mean, my journey in the Coffee world has just begun and I cant really appreciate a good or a bad coffee. I can only do this based on my taste, expectations and a little bit of experience, but this last one isnt something to rely on. :))
Anyways, the cappuccino here at Hard Rock Cafe was ok for me. Normal I would say. Nothing out of the extraordinary.😁

The space is big , as you may see in the photos. They have also a souvenir corner, where you can buy all kind of things.

Also, there's an outdoor terrace for the warm season, you can see it in the pictures. I wouldnt mind having a coffee here in summer. I loved Warsaw, it has clean streets and great infrastructure. They have quite a few tall new buildings, but hey...this is another topic. But I just need to mention this. They have a huuuuuge number of cafès, and they all were amazingly good looking, with Christmas decorations. Honestly, every time we passed through a cafè, me and my husband would look one to each other and say: Why dont we have such places at home too??😭

They have a downstairs area btw, like a pub looking. It was closed at the time we were there because it was too early in the morning.
So overall, a good option to have a coffee if you're around in Warsaw.
