Wroclaw's cafes are not just places to drink good coffee, but real gems with soul and history. The first of these is Vinyl Cafe, hidden on Kotlarska Street, in the heart of the Old Town. This unique cafe combines two passions - love of good coffee and fascination with vinyl music. The interior is decorated with hundreds of vinyl records, which are not only a decorative element, but also for sale. The history of the place dates back to 2015, when two friends decided to create a space that combines their passions. Today Vinyl Cafe is not only a cafe, but also a meeting place for lovers of analog sound. Record music is always playing in the background, and guests can bring their own vinyl and ask for it to be played. The vintage-style interior, with comfortable chairs and shelves full of records, creates a unique atmosphere perfect for photos. Coffee is served in ceramic mugs with the cafe's logo, adding to the charm of each photo. Price-wise, Vinyl Cafe ranks in the middle range, offering quality drinks at affordable prices.

Another place worth noting is Selfie Café, which, as the name suggests, was created with photography lovers in mind. This café, located on Kuznicza Street, is a real paradise for instagrammers. The interior was designed to provide the perfect backdrop for photos - colorful walls, neon lettering, designer furniture and plenty of plants create a space where every angle is suitable for photography. The history of the place is relatively short, but intense - the café was founded in 2018 as a response to the growing popularity of social media. Selfie Café regularly changes its decor, adapting it to the seasons and holidays, so even regulars can take brand new photos each time. In addition to its photogenic interior, the café is also famous for its colorful drinks and desserts, which are works of art in themselves. Especially popular are their rainbow art lattes and sweets with edible flowers. In terms of price, Selfie Café is among the more expensive places, but many visitors find the unique experience and photos worth the price.

The third place that delights not only in taste, but also in appearance, is Parrot Coffee. This exotic cafe is located on General Josef Bem Street and transports guests to a tropical atmosphere. The interior is decorated with parrot motifs, tropical plants and colorful decorations that create an impression as if we have moved to an exotic island. The history of Parrot Coffee is fascinating - the owners spent several years traveling through South American countries, where they learned the secrets of growing and roasting coffee. After returning to Poland, they decided to create a place that would remind them of these travels. The café serves coffees from different corners of the world, and each of them has its own story, which the barista will gladly tell. The establishment's specialty is drinks inspired by tropical fruits, often served in original vessels such as hollowed-out coconuts or pineapples. Price-wise, Parrot Coffee ranks in the mid-range, offering an exotic experience at an affordable price.

Wroclaw boasts a unique phenomenon - cafes where the main attraction is.... cats! KOTON Kitten Café, located on Igielna Street, is the first of its kind in the city, operating since 2016. The history of this place is extremely touching - it was created on the initiative of cat lovers, who wanted to create a space where homeless animals could find a temporary home, and at the same time get used to people before adoption. Today KOTON is not only a cafe, but also a mini-asylum for cats waiting for a new home. The interior has been designed with both guests' and animals' comfort in mind - you'll find comfortable couches, shelves and scratching posts for the cats, as well as special hiding places where they can rest when they need peace and quiet. Each cat has its own story, which we can learn about thanks to information plaques. The cafe also runs an adoption program, thanks to which many cats have already found loving homes. Culinary-wise, KOTON offers simple but tasty fare - coffees, teas and homemade cakes. Prices are affordable, and part of the proceeds go to the care of the cats. For photography lovers, this place is a real paradise - adorable cats in a cozy interior make perfect frames for Instagram.

The second cat cafe in Wroclaw is Kawa i kot., located on Powstańców Śląskich Street. This place has a slightly different character than KOTON - it's more intimate and styled as a home interior. The history of the cafe dates back to 2018, when the owner, inspired by similar places in Japan, decided to create a space where people could relax in the company of cats. Unlike KOTON, the cats living at Kawa i kot. are permanent residents who are not up for adoption. Each has its own unique character and habits, which the regulars know well. The interior of the cafe resembles a cozy living room - wooden furniture, soft cushions and warm lighting create a homey atmosphere. Here the cats have plenty of hiding places and places to play, and guests can observe their daily lives. The menu offers a wide selection of coffees, teas and home-baked goods. Prices are slightly higher than at KOTON, but still affordable. The café also organizes themed events, such as evenings with a book or craft workshops, where you can enjoy the company of cats.

Both cat cafes have their own unique characteristics and atmospheres, but they have one thing in common - they are the perfect place for unique photos. Cats in natural, cozy interiors are a guarantee of successful frames that are sure to attract attention on Instagram. However, it's worth remembering a few rules - flash is banned in both places so as not to stress the animals, and interactions with cats should be on their terms. For cat and coffee lovers, these two places are must-visit spots on the map of Wroclaw, offering not only delicious drinks, but above all a unique experience and the opportunity to spend time in the company of furry friends. Cat cafes are also a perfect example of how passion and love for animals can turn into a successful business that also helps homeless cats.

Wroclaw has become a real mecca for specialty coffee lovers in recent years, and two cafes in particular stand out on this map. El Gato Specialty Coffee Roasters, located on Odrzańska Street, is a place with a fascinating history. Founded in 2017 by coffee enthusiasts who spent several years in South America learning the secrets of growing and roasting beans. The name 'El Gato' (Spanish for 'cat') refers to the cats that can often be found on coffee plantations, where they act as natural guardians protecting the beans from rodents. The interior of the café combines a raw, industrial style with warm, wooden elements. The focal point is the roasting room, where the beans are roasted before the guests' eyes. This is not only a café, but also an educational space where you can learn all about the origins of coffee, brewing methods and the influence of various factors on the taste of the drink. El Gato offers coffees from different regions of the world, each with its own unique history and flavor profile. The barista will be happy to talk about the origin of the beans and advise on which brewing method will best bring out their character. For lovers of photography, El Gato is a true paradise - the process of roasting the beans, the precise brewing of coffee using alternative methods or perfect latte art create frames that will delight any observer. Price-wise, El Gato is among the more expensive places, but the quality and experience fully justify the higher price.

The second place worth visiting is Hops Coffee - Specialty Coffee Concept on Szewska Street. This coffee shop, in operation since 2019, is a project of two friends who decided to combine their two passions - love of coffee and craft beer (hence the name referring to hops). The interior is minimalist, with dominant light colors and wooden accents, which creates a space ideal for photography. Hops Coffee is distinguished by its approach to coffee as a seasonal product - the menu changes regularly, depending on the availability of beans from different parts of the world. The café works directly with small plantations, which allows it to offer unique, limited edition coffees. The establishment specializes in alternative methods - Aeropress, Chemex or V60, which allow to bring out the most subtle flavor notes from the beans. For lovers of the classics, espresso and milk drinks are also available, prepared with extreme precision. Coffee Hops also organizes cupping (professional coffee tastings) and workshops where you can learn the basics of brewing coffee at home. Price-wise, the establishment ranks in the middle range, offering high quality at a reasonable price.

Selfie Café, while not specializing in specialty coffee, deserves attention for its unique concept. It's a place created with social media enthusiasts in mind, where every element - from the interior to the drinks served - has been designed to look attractive in photos. The colorful lattes, decorative desserts and photogenic interior attract influencers and anyone who wants to enhance their Instagram profile with unique frames. Comparing all the cafes described, each offers something unique - Vinyl Cafe is a treat for music lovers, cat cafes provide the company of adorable animals, and specialty coffee roasters are a paradise for true connoisseurs. Price-wise, cat cafes are the most affordable, while El Gato Specialty Coffee Roasters are among the more expensive options. In terms of photogenic appeal, each place has its own unique strengths - from the cats playing in the cozy interiors, to the colorful drinks at Selfie Café, to the mesmerizing process of brewing coffee using alternative methods at specialty coffee roasters. Whatever your preference, Wrocław offers a café perfect for any lover of photography and good coffee.
