- We focus on coffee with our own roasting which we order in Lviv. In addition to drinks we offer desserts and cakes, most of which is prepared based on Philadelphia cheese. The most popular desserts are classic and caramel cakes, unsurpassed brownie.

As for the delicious cold drinks, the most popular are frapuchino, milk shakes, smoothies, sorbets. In general, our menu contains more than 400 positions. Standard daily order consists of cappuccino and latte. The super tasty drink “Matcha” contains soymilk and matcha tea. It has a rich taste with a sweet flavour.

As for the novelties, I advise “mocha dobble chocolate”. It contains two types of natural chocolate - black and white, milk, espresso, whipped cream, everything is decorated with topping and grated chocolate. This drink has already become one of the most popular. Guests also like other smoothies, especially “mango-pineapple” which contains fresh pineapple, frozen mango, syrups, topings, frozen cream. It is very tasty. Athletes choose protein smoothies, chocolate cookies, protein, bananas, that means, the drink brings the maximum benefit. Children often order milk shakes with whipped cream, snicker pieces, oreo or bounty.

Romantic couples buy smoothies decorated with cream and topings. They look beautiful, so guests like to make beautiful photos with these drinks. Men when come alone buy espresso or Americano; when families or companies come, they order tea, coffee and cocoa, desserts and cakes. The espresso is being prepared in 21-25 seconds, preparation of a complicated coffee drink takes about a minute. Smoothies are being made a little longer. So the order is usually ready in 3-5 minutes, even if we have some people waiting. People drink coffee from early in the morning almost till late at night.
On weekdays, days off or holidays, guests visit Prospekt shopping mall to relax; here we have a very large flow of visitors. Sometimes we are in the weeds. This is the difference between the job in a shopping mall from the job in an ordinary coffee shop somewhere in the district. I have been working as a barista for more than five years, here - from the day of the opening of the institution.
