The cup

A low-key Żoliborz cafe on Słowackiego 15/19, Secret Life pours DAK and Nieczapla beans through AeroPress and espresso. All pastries are homemade, vegan and free of refined sugar; a retail and delivery arm means regulars can order their preferred beans online. The thoughtful, diet-inclusive baking offer makes it one of the most inclusive specialty cafes in Warsaw.
