Cafe Melon

Top choice in Warsaw


Worth searching out if you're in the market for a piece of vintage Polish glass, crystal, china and stoneware. The cafe (which serves excellent coffee) also stocks postcards and some books.

For larger pieces, ask to see its furniture showroom Norm Core, one of several design-type business occupying an old red-brick warehouse next door.
