Przez cały pobyt w Polanicy, to tam piliśmy codzienną poranną kawę. Miło, szybko, zawsze witani uśmiechem i dobrym słowem. Polecamy tiramisu truskawkowe

Kawiarnia znajduje się w urokliwym miejscu, w przeszklonym pawilonie pomiędzy parkiem Zdrojowym a Parkiem Szachowym. Jest kilka miejsc w środku i duży ogródek z parasolami w parku Szachowym. Był spory wybór ciast, wszystkie wyglądały świetnie, więc wybór był trudny. Zdecydowałam się na tartę z pistacjami i okazała się strzałem w dziesiątkę. Mocno czuć było pistacje, ale krem nie był za słodki, dodatkowo przełamany kwaskowym, owocowym nadzieniem. Do tego porcja została pięknie podana. Kawa również była bardzo smaczna. Miejsce jest przyjazne psom.
