Review: Relax

You may know Relax already: in fact, if you’re a coffee aficionado, then that’s probably a given. A cult meeting point amid the concrete and graffiti of Złota, it’s long been viewed as somewhere quite special. Likewise, it’s also been viewed as somewhere quite small. Prayer No. 1: “Couldn’t they grow just a little bit more?” Well finally, they have.

Expanding to cover a new location up on Wilcza, the second branch of this Warsaw success story feels like an updated upgrade on the original downtown. Characterized by structured simplicity, it’s a venue that maximizes space and light. Never overly complex, clean lines of vision are interrupted only by a scattering of coffee tomes and a statement mural by Mariusz Tarkawian. Calm and intuitive, it’s an interior that feels both effective and efficient. And as for the coffee: one sip and you’re hooked. In this Insider’s case, that means silk smooth Nitro that’s helplessly addictive.
