Just a great place to relax, very comfortable and cozy, the baristas are incredibly kind and polite, helped to choose a drink, I was very satisfied! I especially want to note the swing — large, soft, what you need for a good rest, also calm and not loud music, a pleasant interior and even have books to read over a cup of coffee. It was very nice to spend time here! ⭐

Everything is delicious, especially the almond croissant and cheese raff. The alarm rings are really unusual and delicious!
We were like tourists in Minsk and specially decided to visit because of the funny videos. But the whole impression was greatly spoiled by the barista with glasses! As soon as we went to the first question, whether the breakfasts were over, I answered sparingly and with the most dissatisfied face. I still dared not notice the breakfast menu, he pointed it out to me after the question with an even more arrogant and dissatisfied face…
The rest of the guys are nice and friendly

Fell in love with this coffee shop! An amazing team that creates an incredible atmosphere of warmth and friendliness.
Separately, I would like to note the rule with laptops – it is allowed to work only at one table. This already shows that comfort and coziness for everyone are appreciated here!
It is necessary to work in the office, but here it is better to enjoy coffee and socializing with friends.
We will definitely come back for new inspiration and a positive charge!

Cozy atmosphere, pleasant service. It is convenient that the cafe is open from 8 a.m., we were just looking for a place to have a snack at such a time. Delicious pancakes and cheesecakes, but unfortunately there were no croissants. Croissants, pancakes, cheesecakes, porridge are on the menu. In general, there is little choice, but it is worth going for the atmosphere and a delicious breakfast. I was pleasantly surprised that everything is decorated for Halloween, even the toilet))

Very tasty coffee, and cottage cheese rings are generally a fire! The atmosphere is very pleasant, the staff is polite, but as if very tired (and so there are many places in Minsk, unfortunately), but the coffee was prepared quickly
It is very easy to miss the point, but only a standard sign gives it away, which is quite easily lost among the many advertisements.
Bottom line: the whole network of brews deserves attention, the coffee is great

Coffee: the coffee grade and taste are excellent, the serving is consistent, the dishes are clean.
The atmosphere: from a friendly atmosphere to a business atmosphere is just perfect, you can work and relax.
Food: fresh, delicious. Everything here is generally the same as in the rest of the brews.
Service: well, it's fine.
There are rules, a type of free zone, where you will not sit down with a laptop, and they will show you where they have a place to work.
There are no sockets at the tables for such a visit, I think this is a hint so as not to stay too long)
There are no napkins on the tables, or in the service area. But everything is clean.

We managed to make a pilgrimage to the most famous Minsk coffee shop this weekend, thank you guys for the good cheese coffee. I really liked the raspberry croissant with poppy seeds, but I will need to return for the ring and the most charming smile. It also seemed that the price for the city is slightly too high for a daily visit. Tell Andrey that his gastronomic advice has come to us very much, it's better to write out a bonus!

We came to the coffee shop from afar, according to reviews and recommendations from a good person Julia:), I take this opportunity to say hello! The coffee shop has a modern and stylish design throughout. The coffee was chosen "fancy", blueberry, it turned out to be non-sweet.
Dessert is a lemon eclair, very interesting, not overloaded with calories, good. We were happy to photograph the relaxation area.

Cozy coffee shop, cool baristas and cute cups :-)
Excellent coffee and wonderful additions in the form of very tasty and fresh pastries.
According to experience, it is one of the best chain coffee shops, it is a pity that there are no coffee shops in the Russian Federation and Minsk airport yet...
Thank you!

The guys shoot great videos, which is why you want to visit them when you come to Minsk.
The reality does not disappoint - a warm place, delicious coffee and pastries.
Separately, I note that in the reviews, laptop men (and laptop ladies) are taking their small and mean revenge, and only they give low marks for the fact that baristas do not allow the coffee shop to be turned into a free co-working space on Dzerzhinsky.
Guys, don't pay attention, your cause is right: the coffee shop is about delicious coffee and communication ☕️

It's a great place. We learned thanks to humorous videos from Nikita Nesterov, and became real fans of this cafe. As soon as we arrived in Minsk, we came straight here.
It is very cozy inside, there are board games, coloring books. Coffee is a separate topic. Very tasty, a variety of flavors, made very quickly, despite the fact that there were quite a lot of visitors. A large selection of desserts. We will definitely come again!

Polite staff, there is always water for the pet, clean. Coffee is always normal, but the guys do not know how to cook a match, there is always a porous foam on top, almost always without latte art, everything is OK in cold form, but there are questions about hot. Otherwise, it is one of the most pleasant brewing coffee shops)

Good afternoon! The coffee shop makes the most adorable videos on YouTube, great respect for creativity and diligence, nowadays there are very few sincere efforts for the benefit of a common cause, and I am glad that you are there
Huge respect to the director of the coffee shop, who is filmed in commercials every time, he is a really good and cool teacher! Dear coffee shop, please give me the contact of a beautiful red-haired girl with a nose piercing🙌

I came to Minsk for a couple of days, I follow the coffee shop on social networks and decided to visit them. The baristas are very polite and friendly, they helped to decide on the choice of coffee. Cheese raf is just 10 out of 10, cheesecakes are already served with sour cream, which was a very pleasant surprise for me. Everything is very beautiful and delicious, someday I will definitely reach you again

A "peculiar" coffee shop. Nice interior, but somehow uncomfortable. Polite, but very serious, "without a spark" staff. A good menu: breakfasts, desserts, drinks. As for the coffee, it's a disappointment. The double cappuccino is cool, the temperature is not maintained, the weak coffee taste is more like a latte. Maybe it's the heat that's to blame?

The coffee is watery, I would say the assortment is more meager than in other brews, where there is an extensive selection of desserts at any time, the cheesecakes did not seem to be cooked, I did not want to finish eating.
I also want to note the boorish service: the baristas laugh loudly, periodically go out and constantly pull people with questions about the order (a girl was sitting next to me, they came up to her to ask, she said she had already made an order and was waiting, I don't understand why to do that). They also drive people with laptops from the tables (I don't understand why, provided that the landing was a maximum of 30%). Although I didn't notice any signs or stickers that you can't sit on certain tables somewhere. Because of this, there are constantly some disputes with the staff, people are stressed and dissatisfied, it is not comfortable to be in a coffee shop.
The feelings after the visit are strange. I'm unlikely to look here again.

I came to Minsk and, of course, the first thing I did was go to your coffee shop to try those very curd rings.
And now I am deeply depressed, because I can no longer imagine life without them.... They're just incredible. Eclairs, round croissants and cakes are no worse, by the way)
Unfortunately, I don't like coffee, but the huge range of Brewing allows me to enjoy other drinks. Who knew that tarragon and cucumber are such a wonderful combination.
Now we will definitely have to return to Minsk........yes

Today we visited this institution, the atmosphere is pleasant. After watching the videos on YouTube, I thought that the coffee shop area would be larger. Of course, prices bite, if I lived in Minsk, I would hardly come here on a regular basis. We ordered cappuccino, cottage cheese ring and cocoa. The taste of ordinary coffee is no better or worse than in other coffee shops, where, by the way, the price of coffee is an order of magnitude lower. The minimum cost of coffee with some kind of bun, like a croissant or a curd ring is around 15p. They came from Mogilev, our prices are much lower. The curd rings advertised in the videos are very tasty, but again the price...

It is beautiful and cozy as in all coffee shops of the chain. But the coffee was terrible. I always choose the same one in all coffee shops. For me, the meaning of the coffee chain is that the drinks are prepared in all the same taste. But in Cooking, this is not the case at all (

We came from Moscow for a couple of days, including spending time at this well-known coffee shop on YouTube. There are no questions about coffee and products: mild taste, good price and excellent quality. However, in the video, the baristas behave relaxed and friendly, unlike in reality. There was a feeling that there is a client or not, there is no difference. There was no eye contact, no greeting, no smile. Although there are many coffee shops of this chain in Minsk, we went to this one, and here is such a disappointment! I recommend the network itself, but not this particular point.

Today, together with my beloved, we went to the Varka cafe. A small, quite cozy coffee shop. We took it for two: a croissant with ham, pickles and pesto. Additionally, a croissant with chocolate and lemon filling. I took a Flat White for myself, and my beauty wanted a Latte. A pleasant smiling barista girl accepted the order. Which pleased me, I didn't have to wait long. Croissants were brought first, after coffee. Ham, cucumbers and pesto were eaten quickly, as it is really bombastic. The chocolate is not bad, but I didn't really like it. The worst in my opinion is with lemon filling. The two of them barely mastered it. But I think he will find a response in something in his heart. I'll say this about coffee: I'm trying Flat White for the first time, to be honest, it's not my thing at all. It turned out to be very strong, I was a little dizzy all the way home. And here's a Latte... In my opinion, it is even better than in our favorite coffee shop. It was thought that they would not be able to do the same in any of them. Now I know for sure they can!

Amazing coffee! The best here in the area. I visit often and always with pleasure)
This particular "Cooking" is like a special joy in the day. It seems that you just go to drink coffee, but in fact the mood rises to the skies due to communication with the barista, good music, delicious desserts.
I especially adore barista Irina) a portion of the positive from communicating with her and always-always a pleasant conversation, even if it lasts 1 minute)
Thanks for the service, absolutely always❤

We came to drink coffee and a croissant on the sun on August 4 at about one o'clock in the afternoon, we stood near the cash register for 5-7 minutes, but the baristas, a young tall man with round glasses and a short plump brunette, showed no interest in us, they found out the details of their relationship among themselves, threw the dishes into the dishwasher, shifted the goods as much as possible pretending that We're not here.
Usually baristas say wait 5 minutes and go about their business, but here the maximum is ignored.

VARKA on 11 Dzerzhinsky Ave.
I arrived on Friday after 21 o'clock, I thought that I would not even have time to sit ...
A very cozy place, smells of nothing but coffee, clean. Yes, the coffee shop area is small, but it creates its own sweet lampiness.
I wanted to fly in and order some coffee and a curd ring (or at least an almond croissant). But when I saw the heroes of the shots firsthand, I was confused. Modestly I took a latte and a hearty croissant (not only sweets can be treated!).
The croissant is super, hearty and delicious, not cloying. Latte with foam (mmm<3) in a wonderful yellow mug, perfect in taste, no sugar was needed (although I always add it to the latte).
I recommend you to visit! Fast, tasty, at normal prices. The baristas are wonderful, they will patiently advise you what to order if you have problems with the choice
I wish the owner and employees all the best, prosperity and good mood!
With grateful greetings from St. Petersburg 💛

We visited the coffee shop twice
We came , took a large table , as soon as we sat down and started talking, an employee came up to us, interrupted us and very arrogantly asked: Are you going to place an order at all , to which we replied that yes , we will place an order
They brought us an order , everything was mixed up , the terrible attitude towards guests from the staff ( two guys worked then )
The second time, too, we did not have time to take a table when the same employee came up to us again and again: are you ACTUALLY going to order something?!
Terrible boorish attitude !
There is no desire to visit this institution anymore, although it is very cozy inside

I'm upset because an important meeting was disrupted today…
We have long agreed to discuss working issues in a free cafe environment and chose Cooking on Dzerzhinsky… We bought coffee and dessert, decided to open a laptop to announce the assortment (there was no phone), but we were forbidden to use it ... the meeting did not continue because of this, it broke down, the issues were not discussed. I wrote it in a book, but rather to relieve my indignation and later understand why... a girl working in a coffee shop explained that some people work like this all day ... but I didn't need these some laptop for a short time. I constantly went to the cafe with the children, but now the sediment

One of the many coffee shops in the franchise where you feel comfortable, the barista girl communicates with you respectfully, there is no passive aggression as it often happens. Is she new?)
Coffee is certainly expensive, but thank you for making it qualitatively.
It's cool that there are places where you are respected as a guest.

I was like a tourist in Minsk, I dragged my mother here. When we arrived, the assortment was not enough, my mother did not really go, I liked cocoa, as I like more foam, but my mother did not. The bun didn't really suit me either. Very nice inside, + next to the subway

It was very strange to come during working hours and find out that the cooking was closed until lunch. But we were traveling from far away, so we were going to get here anyway.
As a result, the cooking itself is nothing special by Belarusian standards. There are many good coffee shops in Minsk. But it was fun to see the little men from yutumba live😁
In general, it turns out a little unfair, but I'll still put 5 for YouTube, not for the work of the coffee shop

I liked everything. A cozy cafe. It's really small. I thought there would be more looking at shorts). The staff is good. The guy brought me an order at the table (latte and chocolate croissant), the girl was smiling :). The coffee seemed delicious, but even though it was a big cup, it was somehow not enough for me. The croissant is good. Big, delicious. I liked everything. And the price is normal (I gave 13 rubles for everything).

It's a very mediocre place, the staff is on their wave. Of all the coffee shops in Varka, the coffee here is quite bland, probably worse than in other cities. According to the laptop and the work behind it, this is the right of the coffee shop. But please make normal coffee!
