From the outside of the building you can see a neon of a swallow. It was designed by Michał Loba, a graduate of Design School in Poznań. Jaskółka is a tiny place, it has only 45 square metres and 6 tables. It mostly serves coffee in several variations (espresso, cappuccino, filter coffee, flat white, oriental latte), shakes or ginger drinks. These can be accompanied by oat and date tart or a sandwich with avocado, dried tomatoes and pear. The lunch, every day different, is served from 13.00.
Jaskółka is a family initiative: the owner of the place is the mum of Tosia Kiliś from the famous duo Fenek St, who runs Jurta café in Kępa Potocka on a daily basis. Fenek designed the interior, putting some of their plates on one of the walls. And in the window there are a lot of plants. The floor is made of colourful tiles – reminding of “gorseciki” – corset-shaped tiles which used to be popular in Warsaw in the 1930s. Tomasz Kiliś executed the interior according to the project by Agata and Tosia from Fenek. Finally, the coffee is being taken care of by Jan, the son of Edyta.

We discovered a region in the process of transformation, with enormous number of new buildings – massive, institutional, just commissioned. The situation of local gastronomy is also changing dynamically. A half of the places we

On the Tamka Street nobody talks about alternative ways of brewing coffee, cow milk is allowed and nobody lifts his eyes to the sky when you ask for an Americano. On the Tamka Street you don’t hear about the third or the tenth wave of coffee. Tamka simply makes good coffee. On the coffee map of
