Kawiarnia Artystyczna Szarotka

Top choice in Carpathian Mountains


This old-fashioned cafe and ice-cream parlour has been one of Muszyna's social hinges since 1963. It has fabulous ice-cream sundaes, homemade pies and cookies, as well as blocks of white and dark chocolate. The dining area is decorated with lace tablecloths, framed pictures, LPs and books, and there's a pretty flower-bedizened patio outside.
