rosemary raspberry mousse at Blikle

  

Blikle is a famous Warsaw cafe and confectioner that makes traditional Polish pastries. It is nice to see them experimenting a little with this dessert, a rosemary and raspberry mouse. The outer shell seems to be a very thin layer of white chocolate. On the inside the mousse is creamy and cool. Now if there would just be some sun here, this dessert would be a perfect treat on a hot day.

love bagels

 

Love Bagels is a relatively new 'resto' (it is only a little window that opens up onto the Nowy Swiat street) that serves it's namesake bagels. The bagels are surprisingly good (there are a few different kinds like sesame, poppy seed, plain, multi-grain, etc), the prices are reasonable (about 6 to 10 zloty for a toasted bagel with something on it...ranging from cheese and veggies to smoked salmon and cream cheese), and the service is surprisingly fast, efficient and very friendly.
