24 Hours in Warsaw – Coffee, Old Town, Free Activities

24 Hours in Warsaw – Coffee, Old Town, Free Activities

Oh baby, your boy is back on the road again. This time we’re in Warsaw for a little winter antics. Been exploring all week. We got a little 24 hours just getting amongst it in search of the best coffee, the best beer, and some local Polish food. um went to a little place var Meliska. I’ll overlay it or include it in the old description down below. Says it opens at 10:00 a.m. But you know what I mean? We’ll get in the mixer and get exploring why the day is but young and why there is some sunlight in the old bones. Very, very minimal sunlight. But you know what I mean? When life gives you lemons got there, the woman’s like, “No, we don’t over to 11:30.” Absolute horrendous bit of kit. That’s like the third time this week. So yeah, if you’re a Polish business watching this, get your Googles up. Dated. Um, didn’t know this, but until 1596, Krakai used to be the capital. Um, Warsaw’s pretty gone, actually, to be fair. I came to um I came to Poland about 10 years ago now. I want to say Vos, I think it’s pronounced, well, it’s written Rockclaw um uh with myself and the old crab. And to be honest, we’re going to be flying about today seeing what the city has to offer. um completely different experience to when I came 10 years ago in in a good way in a sense of like we thought it was class before but like it was I was always worried about how to to to put this forward but it was super super cheap then um and now because the Polish economy is absolutely rocketing um yeah everything’s pretty spending to be fair like I’ll um I’ll overlay where I’m staying now it’s like 55 quid a night I think I look back and me and crab are paying like 25 just outrageous scene so yeah shout out the Polish doing bits the tech scene is booming. Um, and yet the coffee scene here is an absolute joke. When we get in a little couple of joints very very shortly, we’re going to talk a little bit more of that around the old prices because I tell you what, they make London prices look pretty bloody cheap. So yeah, the Polish are absolutely smashing it to be fair to them. Um, but yeah, good bit of kit. See what the day has to offer. Beers, coffee, local food. Can’t really ask much more than that, can you? [Music] Stop number one. It was meant to be getting some delicious local food in the bones, but we’re in the fat white coffee bar. Getting that sweet, sweet caffeine injection. We’re going to do a little taste test in a second, but I’m going to put you on to a few little joints first that I’ve been to this week. Um, Unreal Gas. For me, the top place I’ve been to so far is XOXO. Um, silly silly flavors in there. Um, yeah, would highly recommend. NA Specialtity Coffee would be my second one. If you’re working, I would go there. There’s loads of space and like really really good Wi-Fi if you want to fire up the old uh fire up the old laptop. Um, and I also went to this place called Coffee Desk Canowina, something like that. Um, if I had one gripe about the coffee thus far, this needs to be a tad bit hotter in terms of setup, in terms of how things look. We’re talking aesthetics. Um I would highly recommend this gaffamin now. Like unbelievable little setup. We’ve got a little barber shop in the backdrop. It’s got loads of cool little um anime characters and stuff like that. But yeah, gun place. And there’s a bit of a balls up with the order. Probably my fault. I tried to order this little bad boy. We’ll get a little closeup. Espresso tonic. Um and the lady thought I said cotardo, but you know what I mean. The Polish lovely people. She came sorted out and yeah, didn’t make me pay for an extra coffee. or things you love to see. Let’s give this a little taste test. It’s looking like a fruity number. That is one of the maddest things I have ever tasted. I thought I wasn’t going to like it. I do like tonic water. I I I don’t even know how to describe it to you. The flavors, it’s so strong, powerful, potent. It’s actually banging now. Feel as if I’ve never had anything like that. That is absolutely scintillating. That might be one of the nicest things I’ve tried. You know what I mean? Sometimes you get a new latte and it’s banging, but when you It’s just a completely different flavor. I even want to say like the textures in it. Um, that is mental. You’re either going to love it or you hate it. That for me banging. And we’re on to the star of the show, the old latte, the old faithful. It’s looking delicious. The artwork out here sensational. Rumor on the circuit. I’ve done a bit of research says that it is a third generation coffee scene. What does that mean? I feel as if it means they’re just trying to refine, improve, and fire it up. Um, I think it is pretty expensive for coffee. Um, in general here, you do get what you pay for. Every place I’ve gone to has been like a banging coffee. So, when I’m like putting things in order, it’s like they’re all a 9 10 out of 10, but it’s just a case of one is slightly better than the other. Um, but you are looking like £4 for a for a latte number. But yeah, one sip of the schooner. See the score. It’s rich. It’s creamy. That Yeah, for me, this is the best place by an absolute country mile that I’ve gone to this week. As I said before, if there was one improvement I would give, it’s just all the coffee needs to be hotter. I could have down that. I’ve had it for like 30, 40, 50 seconds. Actually, been talking for over 3 minutes actually. Maybe the joke’s on me. Make the coffee hotter. The espresso tonic has absolutely blown my mind. Double coffee. Actually, I’ve got four shots of coffee in the bone. No food. The days but young. Chilling with these little fellas. What a gum place. It has taken me a whole week to find a local Polish place that is serving food without not seeing. Food hasn’t even arrived and I’m already going to recommend this place, Gossin, because the guy, the waiter, is the most friendly blog. He’s in the kitchen. He’s looking at the spices and find out what does and doesn’t contain nuts. nuts. I know there’s a few people who follow me because of like the peanuts and nut stuff. I would say it’s actually a fairly challenging place here um for eating out cuz loads of stuff has nuts in. I’ve been to like maybe 10 Italian restaurants this week and 10 Japanese restaurants where I always think they’re the saving grace. They don’t have a lot of nuts. Every single one of them had peanuts. Like they put it on as a topping. So I usually think if a place has peanuts, I completely avoid it. But this guy’s in the kitchen. He’s finding out what spices are in there. So yeah, would highly recommend. Um, another pretty interesting thing is that uh like every restaurant allows dogs. So, you’re in like a pretty swanky gaff. You’re in a nice place and there’s just a bit of Keith Lard action on the uh the on the next table. But yeah, top top draw. Um, and on the note of extremely friendly waiters, Polish people, everyone’s super friendly. And then I know I’m saying that as a shock. I’ve been to Poland before, but like most people think, oh, Eastern European not as friendly. The Polish people are elite. Every time I’m getting in the lift in my uh Airbnb building, every time you’re walking through a door, everyone’s saying thank you. Everyone’s saying hello. I don’t speak Polish, but I’m guessing that is that’s what they’re saying. Smile on their faces. So, yeah, 10 out of 10 for the people. We are trying a little Zubek beer. This little fell on the back. Actually, I should have held it this way. Um I asked the guy, I said, “What beer would you recommend?” He said he goes for the wheat beer. Most people would like the laga. I’ve already had one little sip, but you know, one more sip of the Skoona. It’s just absolute power in a glass. Light, fruity, refreshing. It’s actually ice cold. That’s another thing. We’re in the depths of winter. Say the depths. It’s November. It’s like 1° or something. And the only places open. There’s a few food places. I had a few place on the list, but they’re not even bloody open yet on a Saturday. Not till like 1 2 3:00. Um, it’s just all ice cream parlor. So, I think we need to be thinking about our target audience. Fire the hot chocolates up. But no, I’m joking. Beer’s flowing. Food pending. Good gaff. Food has arrived. Colette kakarazia. Definitely not how you pronounce it. Look how big this fell is. It’s the biggest pork cutlet in the absolute world. Learned my lesson from many moons ago. Pre cut it so I’m not absolutely butchering the thing, pardon the pun, on uh on the old camera. But yeah, looks elite. Massive portion. Should have looked at the price. I could have told you that. But yeah, what’s the cooking like on that? Tommy doesn’t have nuts in. That’s all I asked for. Good bit of kit. I’m not going to sit here and say scintillating. It’s not absolutely out of this world. It is exactly what it looks like. Exactly what it says on the tin. A massive pork cutlet. Good flavors. Good bit of crisp on the outside. Nice and soft in the middle. Comes with these little potatoes. You can get chips or fries for you uh American fellows. See what the ball potatoes are saying. Said we’ll go for the local stuff. [Music] Pork got mid to upper tier. Potatoes. Potatoes are banging also. Getting that goodness in the system. I want to say cucumbers with sour cream. Wa. They They are banging. Little bit of sour cream. Little bit of like spice on there. Maybe like a little bit of pepper. Top door off. First Polish meal. Definitely recommend. Beer’s a banger. Food plays bowl. Unreal staff. You’re right behind me. Actually, legend of the scene. Cheers. Now, get it on the list. Heat. Heat. You cannot [Music] Not that anybody trusts anything the BBC says nowadays. However, I I’ll check the old forecast for the weekend. The weather was like so bad. It’s meant to be like raining 95%. Is that 95% chance it rains or 95% of the area? I’ll let you tell me. Anyway, Thursday I was like, “Banging weather. We’ll come down, get a few MP4 files of the old old town, which is stunning.” Known as the Phoenix City rising from the ashes. 85% of it got destroyed during World War II. And obviously it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site is actually unbelievable. Like super super nice views, gorgeous buildings, silly colors. It’s like anything though, like when the sun is on it, when the sun is out, it’s just a lot lot nicer. So I thought I’d come down when it’s the best day. We did a little run, little uh 10k um and got the delicious videos for you guys. Came out today expecting heavy heavy rain. The weather’s actually pretty nice. It’s a lot warmer than the other day. Not as sunny, but equally as top drawer. Um I went to a little place called Kerat House, which I’m seeing rumors on the circuit is the smallest house in the entire world. If anyone knows the smaller one, please let me know. Can you see anything from the outside? Absolutely not. It was 92 cm across. Um, I saw some pics of what it looks like inside. Does it look flare? I was about to say it looks flare. It looks like a horrendous bit of kit. You’d need to be one of the borrowers uh to to live in there. 92 cm three rulers across. Um, so yeah, you’re not getting much done there, but there’s like a bed, a kitchen, all sorts. I’m not even sure. Is that art? Is somebody living there? It’s a horrendous bit of kit. Uh, nonetheless, um, there is a cool little statue of a mermaid in the center of, um, in the center of the old town in Warsaw. Um, apparently wields a little sword, a protector of the old city. Um, but yeah, for me, I’ve been exploring all week, like all over um, all over Warsaw. There’s just stunning buildings all over the gap. If you’re only here for a weekend and you’re only here for a day, I would 100% um, base yourself in and around the old town. This is like the more beautiful part, let’s just say. Um, but you obviously you got the palace. You just got absolute ruthless scenery left, right, and center. I’ve never seen as many churches. Um, so yeah, it’s top draw. Highly recommend. Good gaff flare buildings. One of many gripes. No, I’m not joking about the nut thing, but um I was like, oh, go get another beer somewhere. All the brew taps, all the places serving the ice cold beer warriors, they don’t open till 1:00. Maybe that is just the English, the British in me. Fire up from early doors. You fire up from brunch, early bath and bed. Houdini. And yeah, we go again tomorrow. Um but yeah, going to go fly about the place. I find another little coffee joint. Um just keep me ticking over uh until 1:00. Got about 45 minutes. So another little coffee. See you through for the day. Can it top the gaff this morning? We’ll soon find out, baby. [Music] Whilst per cruising through the old town, colorful buildings, sun in the distance, national stadium, we’ve seen a few Netherlands fans after the game yesterday in search of NA Specialtity Coffee Bar and there was just a little flicker, a little glimmer in the distance whispering, winking over my way. I turn around. It was only the luck of the bloody Irish. The timing on point. Have you ever seen a more delicious looking drink? You put a Guinness, which is a straight 10 out of 10 getting that iron, getting that black stuff in the system, and you mix it with a grenade glass. the most elite level drinking vessel in the entire world. Unbelievable scenes. We’re going to have to give it a little taste test. Obviously, we’re on a 500 mil cuz we’re in Europe. Not a little pint war, but I think in a grenade, it has to be elite. Six pine a pint. How much it is something around that? Yeah, six quid a pint. 6 per 500 ms. Skina won’t be happy about that. It’s looking all watery as chips. B. [Music] It doesn’t look it, but it’s really creamy. It’s not getting a top 10, but it seriously plays ball. Half 12 on a little Saturday. That shows the absolute degenerate behavior we’re dealing with here. looking for a coffee. Ended up in the Irish pub far in the mob waiting for the rest of the Polish bars to open. But yeah, literally right off the main square in the old town. If you want a little Irish number, let me get the name up on my phone. It is called [Music] I was just about to read the name. I took a picture of it outside and I was going to go, “Oh, it’s called Alivan Vitzka.” Irish pub in Polish. Cheers. Knife. Gobs is in disarray. Thanks for coming. In a grenade. Has that ever been done before? Elite behavior. [Music] That’s power. The day is flowing. The day’s firing. [Music] In the pursuit of Warsaw’s best beer, Warrick, we have to come to a little local brute at over 20 minutes ago and it is Sergio Ramos in there. We’re talking Robert Lamoski. May as well be sitting at his cues to get in. People just don’t know where he’s standing when you’re busy. But yeah, same kind of I will overlay all the beers. Now we’ve got a number one. We got a number five. We got a number seven. We’ve got a number nine and a number 10. We got a liter a bit. Is that a liter or is it a liter and a half? I’m not quite sure. We’re starting off with this little fell here. The Polish laga starts to mean to go on. [Music] 5.5% full of flavor. For a laga for me, that’s really really nice. It’s a little bit in between to be fair. Not too fizzy, blow your head off like a Peron or like a UK Lago which is not normally my sort of vibe. Uh good bit of K. Number two we’ve gone for and said what would you recommend? They said you’re a legend. That’s the beer name. We did that 7.7%. That’s never a good sign. This is what we’re on. Legend of the sea. [Music] right there. [Music] It tastes like bacon. [Music] Horrendous. Right, we’re moving on to the full supersonic. This is where Gdubs normally plays his best ball. The hazy IPA. Delicious colors. I’m expecting equally delicious notes to get this ranting taste of bacon out the old system. The smells, the notes, it’s whispering. It’s singing. What are the notes? Cas notes of absolute naughtiness. Nectar of the gods. That’s what shade me on. So session number 6%. Leslie Bon in it. That is delightful. I go back cuz there’s no one there. That second bit. It was the worst bit I’ve ever had in my entire life. I’d rather drink Fosters. It’s disgusting. I want the Wheeler. The Irish Dry Stout. Can’t usually go wrong with one of these fellas. about to fall off my chair. Oh, that is smelling ridiculous. That the coffee smell of that is unbelievable. Hazy IP would be the session for me, but that is it is absolutely a lean. Final one. People going in the back. We’ve got the export Indian porter number 10. One final sip of the schooner. [Music] That place ball number nine for me. Irish dry style or the hazy. We’re in for an absolute obsession. Pir beer heaven and is exactly what it says on the tin. If you like cervesas, if you like beerwaris, I would even argue this is the place to come to. Insane amount seating. We’ve got stag dudes in the backdrop. We’ve got the old foosball elite. Look at this behind me. The wall is literally made with beer caps. Beer cap porni naan. Anyway, back to doing what we do best, drinking some of the old seas. We’re going to start with the loosest one first. We’re on the wheat beer. This little fella, I said, “What is the top recommendation? Wheat beer with orange, raspberry, and honey. Not something I would normally order. It It smells delicious, but it smells fruity as chips. [Music] Tell you what, I’d love to know the percentage of that because that just tastes like pure fruit juice. You like fruit juice, you like Robinsons, you like the old summer fruits, that’s going to play absolute bowl. Next up, we have the no hazy IPA New Zealand number. Look at this little fella. Delicious, fruity, gorgeous colors running through the bloke. This you can only do 0.3s in here. There’s a few things you get like the smaller amounts but limited selection what you can do as a little taster but serious it’s singing. It’s singing. You can’t beat them. You cannot beat them. The hazy IPAs, they’re light. They’re fruity. They’re fresh. A little bit of fizz for me. This fella, they’re always going to be up there. And the final they had about 10 stouts on no they only had one porter. I was like oh what what the options on porter and the woman was like said whatever it was. She was like oh we only do it in a whatever size because it’s 13.8 or 12.8 and I thought you know what that is nomad nominee nom padre that’s early bath and bed territory. So yeah [Music] I’m just going to whiff this around the camera as if you can smell it. is if you can take it in because the notes of dark chocolate and coffee are absolutely ruthless. [Music] That is phenomenal. Chocolate, dark chocolate, coffee. Serious bit of kit. Yeah, myself, the porters, the IPAs, the hazy IPAs are always going to be top tier bewaris in here. Unreal. It was um £1050 for three 300 ms. So, I’ll say for this quality of beer, good bit of kit. Cheers. Now, [Music] Warsaw, another city boxed off. I went to two extra places and I did vlog in them. first time like doing like a in restaurant food vlog in like quite like a busy place and um yeah obviously there is a steep bell curve between beers chat flowing having a good time as you’ve seen it slowly disintegrates deteriorates and it goes absolutely uh downhill so yeah I’m not going to include that but the place I went to was like pepper and steak or steak and pepper food was absolutely banging to be fair got a little 300 g ribeye steak got some sweet potato fries which were uh elite. They gave me popcorn which I thought was pretty left field but of course they must have thought there’s a bloody spectacle uh on our hands. Um Hodgaren beer or Budweiser. So I would have liked to have seen a little Polish number uh on the menu. However, the rest of the day I was treated to the delicious beers. So me coffee, chocolate porters and the old hazy IPAs are always going to rain supreme. And then I went to another brewery afterwards. So, if I thought the content one from the restaurant was bad, oh baby, when I watched uh at the the final brewery, I was like, “Yeah, these two uh can never see the light of day.” But yeah, it was like 30 quid in the restaurant for like steak, sweet potato, fries, a little beer. So, yeah, insane uh value currently in uh Moldova. Um just about to finish actually the Moldover vlog. Um, but yeah, for me, Warsaw was class. Coffee was silly expensive. Beers were pretty much the same price or cheaper than the coffee, which tells you everything you need to know. Hold the caffeine and get straight on the old beer worries. But yeah, the world domination, the world tour continues. Moldova now fly to Armenia tonight. So the content will be coming thick and fast. Questions in the comments. Follow me on Instagram.
