This neighbourhood gem could easily go unnoticed were it not for the oversized typography set vertically on the large storefront window – this outsized statement contrasts against the tiny bakery it advertises, a place so small it’s a candidate for the teeniest bakery in the whole of Poland, let alone Warsaw.

Be warned though of the curious and ever-changing opening hours.
