Coffee Break

Just wanted to share a few words of appreciation. For eager coffee lovers looking for an authentic espresso bar in Smolensk, this place is a must go to. Definitely give it a shot and grab your flawlessly made cup of coffee. Located downtown nearby the Smolensk Philharmonic Hall, Coffee Break advocates specialty coffee, which is picked with laser-sharp focus and brewed really skillfully. Tiny space inside the coffee shop is cozily arranged and it’s minimalistic design fits in so well, feels really welcoming staying in. Additional shout-out about the music played there, which kind of complements the atmosphere perfectly — after ordering your coffee ask about their vinyl collection or what are their latest post-punk scene discoveries. But for god’s sake (for coffee god’s sake) never ask to add sugar to your cup.

arguably the best espresso in town

We have nothing against the quality of the coffee, which has never been tasted. Thanks to the negative, unfriendly barista (who worked at 17.10). We came in for the first time, and no longer wanted to order anything. We walked around the city, decided to come back for delicious coffee, but again the employee just masterfully killed all the desire to drink coffee in general and then somehow contact him. And you know, it's for the best. Such a person simply cannot make good and high-quality coffee! Because it charges your drink with its energy.

Favorite place in the city, great coffee, cool music!

Pricey but great coffee so well worth it. Very good coffee. Highly recommend.
