SAM Powiśle

Top choice in Warsaw


A large communal table dominates this slick bakery, deli and cafe that aims to use organic produce from local farmers and suppliers in its dishes. It's very popular for breakfast or lunch – make sure you book early in the week for a slot at the weekend or you may find yourself waiting in line for a while.

Dinner options include several Asian dishes such as Singaporean laksa noodles. Head downstairs for groceries and take-away food from its deli shop.
