New Coffee Shop :) & No Ice Carving :(

November 5, 2012 by Lois Britton 2 Comments

Our star barista from Sweet Surrender has opened her own coffee bar, Brisman Kawowy Bar, at ul. Mickiewicza 20.  I love the way they’ve decorated the shop.

The flow chart on the wall starts off with coffee, branches out to with milk and without milk.  Notice that milk in the two instances is spelled differently – mlekiem vs. mleka, one of my many difficulties with the Polish language.

Our friend wasn’t there when we stopped by, but her colleague was so passionate about coffee.  It was fun to watch him talking about the coffee beans and the press he was using to the guests as we sipped our drinks.  I could only understand every tenth word, but I believe the beans were from Kenya – very smooth.

A beautiful crisp evening

After checking out Brisman, we walked over to Zamek for a steak salad at The Dubliner – highly recommend.

I just learned that the Ice Festival has been cancelled for this December.  I’m glad that I got to see this international ice carving competition; I hope it will be back next year.  Does anyone know if the Christmas market will take place in the rynek, or has that been cancelled too?  The news comes from Visit Poznan, a great source of information about what’s happening in the city.  Thanks to my friend, Caroline, for pointing it out and reminding me to “like” Visit Poznan on facebook to get their updates.

    Thanks for the info Kasia. 🙂 I guess I'll have to have my Grzane Wino indoors this year.
