Magnificent rooms in the building and with interiors in the style of the Stalinist Empire, with beautiful mosaics and preserved from Soviet times the location of shopping areas. On the ground floor, the famous Dream cake and other pies made according to Soviet recipes are sold in the dining room. Previously, cooking was also provided, but now, alas, instead of classic Soviet cooking, regular fast food (mini pizza, white bread, sausages in dough, etc.). On the second floor, as before, there is a grocery store. Now it is a store of the Euroopt company with a characteristic network assortment and prices. It should be noted that it is quite a decent assortment and reasonable prices. BSB Bank's exchange office is also located on the second floor. It's worth going in at least to look at the interiors and take pictures against their background, as well as drink coffee with nostalgic pies according to a real Soviet recipe.
A wonderful store in terms of location, equipment, and interiors. The only drawback in this sense is a steep staircase to the trading floor: not everyone can do it. Is it really impossible to install an escalator in such a visited shopping facility?
But the main and easily removable puncture is the people who work in the trading floor. I understand that the product distributor is not required to answer questions, but there are no others who can be asked these questions in the hall. Today, for example, I asked where the Food & Go products that were placed in a separate refrigerator had gone. Today it turned out to be empty. The girl explained without a shadow of a doubt that they were all sold, and it was only by chance that I found them in the culinary department. Another time, when I asked about Lyakhovichi curds, the lady who was laying out the goods in the dairy department answered me rudely and indignantly: "We don't sell their goods!" Whereas they are almost always on delivery, and why the girl is outraged, I do not understand.
I have no complaints about the people at the self-service checkout. They are polite and will help if necessary.
A legendary supermarket with an unforgettable atmosphere. A great selection of cakes, coffee (especially Oscar is good), tea in the cafeteria. A pleasant, bright place. There is a shop on the second floor. There are many steps. Conveniently located. I recommend visiting sometime!
A legendary place for Minsk residents. The best store in the 80s and early 90s. Today, on the 1st floor you can have a quick and tasty snack, drink tea, coffee or draft beer. And of course, to buy a very delicious, for my taste, "Dream" cake, which is made only here!
The Tsentralny supermarket in Minsk is a place with a unique atmosphere that seems to transport visitors to the past. The first thing that catches your eye is the historic building with exquisite stucco and bas—reliefs on the ground floor. The spirit of old Minsk is felt here: every detail of the interior keeps its own history.
The assortment pleases with its diversity. I would especially like to mention the confectionery department: the cakes and the famous cake "Dream" really justify their name. The legendary Oscar coffee is perfect for it. For those who prefer stronger drinks, they offer a wide selection of spirits, including draft beer.
The supermarket audience is a separate reason for observation. You can meet a variety of people here: from workers and students to representatives of the creative intelligentsia. It is a place where different worlds and social strata intersect, creating a lively and dynamic atmosphere.
Central is more than just a store. This is a cultural and gastronomic corner that is worth visiting for anyone who wants to feel the real spirit of Minsk.
A unique store in the very center of Minsk. On the 2nd floor there is a euroopt, and on the ground floor there is a mini-market and a pastry shop, a coffee shop and a small bar. Try the cake/pastry "dream" and coffee "Oscar".
An authentic place with a classic USSR vibe, you can eat inexpensively and deliciously, order coffee, which is prepared on site, there is a delicious ice cream, a bunch of desserts and not only✨
It is a very attractive and famous place for Minsk residents. It's delicious, take a pie with a hot drink or a sandwich with a hot drink (depending on the mood) and enjoy it slowly, overlooking the busy avenue. The stucco on the walls is very picturesque.
It has been a legendary store since Soviet times. In terms of location, architecture and content. There was a pastry shop where the "Dream" cake was baked - nut nougat, ganache and banana proline. And now it's just "Euroopt". That there is no name, and the content is even worse.
Very tourist pesto in the center of Minsk. There are always a lot of people, but the points of sale of products are also numerous, so the queue is minimal. There is a deli on the 2nd floor, the prices are normal, there is everything. I recommend.
The store is located within walking distance from public transport, in the city center. On the ground floor there is a cafeteria, a small bar and a grocery department. There are places at the bar and you can also comfortably sit at a table. There are also ATMs and information kiosks. Euroopt is located on the second floor. There is also a cooking department, groceries and basic necessities. Convenient store opening hours. Attentive sellers. I don't use it often, but I like it.
A visit to the cafeteria of the Tsentralny supermarket, where everyone's favorite Dream cake is sold.
17.01.2025 I visited the cafeteria and, unfortunately, was extremely disappointed. I ordered a Romantic cake and whipped cream with chocolate. First, I used the Romantic cake, then I opened the Cream whipped with chocolate, I was unpleasantly surprised and SHOCKED — the cream turned out to be not only with chocolate, BUT Also WITH MOLD. This not only spoiled the mood, but also caused serious concerns about the sanitary standards in the institution. Well, there is a pharmacy nearby, in order to avoid the consequences, I bought and drank a drug for poisoning.
I recommend that everyone be vigilant and pay attention to the quality of the products, as such situations can lead to poisoning. I hope that the administration of the cafeteria of the Tsentralny supermarket will take measures to improve the quality and safety of food.
BE CAREFUL AND CAREFUL!
Yes, this is the center of the city, but I can't put it high, because, firstly, there is no parking nearby, there is no free parking at all. When you enter the store on the ground floor, you seem to have entered some kind of wild eatery where people are drinking, it's not even pleasant to enter another time. There is a euroopt on the second floor, I can't say I'm thrilled. There are always not enough vendors in the evenings, you stand in debt until someone comes to you. There is a separate quest at the checkout. There are at most two ticket offices and that's it, and it's in the city center.
Such a place deserves to be sung in the opera! Imagine the third scene, the curtain rises to the sound of a snare drum, an exit to a large crescendo and after a small orchestral loss, the Anthem of the Central visitors begins!
CHORUS OF VISITORS: Yes, "Central", you are central,
The basis of the life of the entire capital!
You frighten the squeamish, you attract mentally
Opened tulips from the universal mycelium!
Yes, "Central", no, "Central",
You will not leave the stage of the cultural light!
For beer and "cheese" we go to the "Epochal",
We drink to the preservation of cultural traditions.
You are central, our "Central",
You won't find this anywhere else abroad.
We taste your transcendental air,
You shine more beautifully than any firebird!
Yes, "Central"! To you, "Central",
We're singing a song! Not sparing the mustard,
Smear a triumphal sandwich with salmon,
Imitating canapes, seasoning with cinnamon.
Ha ha!
It's a cool place that takes you back to your childhood. A lot of molding on the ceiling. There are a lot of people and queues, but it's worth standing and tasting the Legendary cake - "legend". Natural products in the manufacture
Hello, I don't know what's going on with people here. But when asked by a store employee where a particular product is located. Do you know what the answer is? Go look there. I didn't find it, I came up a second time, asked for help in the search, but the answer was interesting, if they didn't find it, then there is no this product. It feels like you don't know how to answer questions here in your Belarus at all. Moreover, this story is not only about your store. I asked questions not only in this store, everywhere there is a boorish or ignorant answer or even no answer at all. Negative experience.
We were in the cafeteria on the ground floor. A wonderful Stalinist interior. A large selection of pastries and the opportunity to try it with a view of the central avenue of the city
I came here for a Dream. The cake is the most delicate, delicious, there is nothing like it in Russia!
The cafeteria itself brought me back to my childhood - cafeterias in the Arbat area, high tables, coffee and sandwiches 👍
It's great that all this has been saved in Minsk! Respect!
It's a very cool place, very soulful. Prices are normal, Minsk prices. They cook cakes right in the same building - fresh and delicious)) I recommend you to visit!
We have preserved part of the Soviet architecture, nostalgia. There is a small cafeteria where you can have a snack, drink coffee, beer, and eat ice cream. On the 2nd floor there is a fairly large Euroopt supermarket, where you can buy delicious gifts with yourself, and there is also a culinary department.
The place is atmospheric - with old interior details. The second floor is a Euroopt with food and a good selection of semi-finished products and pastries of its own production. On the ground floor there is a cafeteria with delicious sweets and drinks. But there is also a bar with alcohol and snacks, so the contingent on the ground floor is very diverse.
A basket of protein cream is just a fire. Perfectly balanced taste according to an ancient recipe. It costs more than in other places. But it's definitely worth it.
And also delicious and inexpensive ice cream by weight in a delicious waffle cone. Relevant for summer.
A beautiful, interesting place is a supermarket. Two floors, the second floor of Euroopt, the first grocery and much more. There are very beautiful panels inside. The seats are tables right in front of the showcase. Very atmospheric and delicious sweets. Not cheap. Well, and a diverse contingent of buyers.
A wonderful folk, homely, hospitable supermarket. However, it is a pity, unfortunately, that there are few people now, many decorations have been closed. The history of a city, a store, a street, a country, a day spent, an hour cannot be hidden - one must remember, be proud, rejoice, grieve and remember that history is unshakable and moving forward. Whatever the story is, it is our bitter, sweet, national, world, personal history-our life. Let's be nostalgic about the years we've lived, the hours we've spent, our friends, and remember, respect, and be proud of our history!!! "Nyama tago, what was the rank ..." (V. Mulyavin). There was a country, friends, but now it is necessary to revive, and accept with respect the changes that are coming. Thanks for your attention
I recently tried, one might say, the legendary Oscar coffee. I didn't decide for a long time because of the presence of a chicken egg in the recipe ... But. it's such a delight, it tastes better than coffee, now it seems there is none. And another delicious thing is a fruit basket. I recommend it!
A good level of service, delicious food, although unfortunately the prices are not very cheap, but far from expensive. Various cakes are cooked very tasty according to the type of baskets, as well as cheesecakes with cherry filling, I strongly advise you to try it. The only thing that I didn't quite like was the arrangement itself, which, with a really small retail space, is not so easy to beat. I would like more comfort in addition to high quality service and high-quality products.
The guides tell us that only here you can taste the true taste of the legendary Dream cake.
Architecture: Stalin's Empire style. There are several fast food outlets where you can get tea/coffee, cake and snacks
Eateries in the style of a theatrical buffet
In the morning we went to the cafeteria to drink coffee, it is very convenient, since we lived in this house, the interior is super, nostalgia for the USSR.
An interesting place and a very favorite place for Minsk residents. There are many different establishments inside the hall. You can drink coffee with a delicious pie or drink beer with something salty. There were always a lot of people.
This is an urban masterpiece of the Stalinist Empire or whatever it is! A huge hall with panoramic windows overlooking the central avenue. The painted ceilings are in excellent condition. State-owned cafes offer the usual selection of confectionery and drinks.
And the main highlight is the bar counter along the windows with a length of the entire hall. And behind this counter, a variety of notable personalities from student to retirement age culturally consume their 50 grams with a sandwich.
It is expensive and rich, although, in fairness, we can note the excellent quality of the goods and quite reasonable prices for individual goods. I would like to note the good work of the employees, courtesy and tact in the service.
A great place to have a snack with various sweets and delicious coffee. Prices are normal, taking into account the fact that you are in the capital of the Republic of Belarus, and on the central avenue.
It was very unusual to see such a supermarket . Inside there is a spacious hall, window sills-tables along the windows. The interior feels like it has fallen back into the past! But there are always a lot of people. From desserts-constantly fresh pastries- cakes, cakes, coffee, pies, tea, sweets, ice cream. It's very busy on weekends. On the other hand, something like a shot glass - alcohol, sandwiches, pies.
A place where those who wish can plunge into the atmosphere of Soviet buffets and High-quality products: the traditional Minsk cake "Dream": both portioned and whole cakes. There are other delicious confectionery products: baskets, etc. and of course you can try it all at once with a cup of tea/coffee!
The Soviet-era decoration was left inside. Very attractive. There is a large selection inside the Euroopt store. There are shops with cakes, baskets are not bad.
My favorite store since childhood, youth. For many ten years, I have been constantly, periodically visiting this real Central Store - a store of communication, memories of our parents, Minsk residents, and guests of Minsk. Thank you for the warmth and simplicity. I wish the new team to firmly preserve all the traditions of the past decades in the sale, service, atmosphere of kindness, simplicity, comfort of our Central store, cafe. I wish you health, happiness, and success. Remember! Without a good past, there will be no unknown sad future. Keep the mentality, the hospitality of Minsk residents, our beautiful people, beautiful streets, our mentality. Your store remember: the face of our hometown - the beloved hometown of Minsk! Thanks for attention.
Terrible cooking, just disgusting
Pancakes with ham and cheese
Just old hard pancakes, there is almost no filling, a solid pancake
Drinks at the bar can be overdue for a month when you point out a problem - they swear at you and threaten to press the alarm button
The service is simple - a collective farm
I do not recommend it to everyone...
A colleague brought a Dream cake to work - and I really liked it. I decided to buy such a cake for a family holiday . The cake was bought on 07/8/2024 and the marking is that it was made on the 8th. But what I bought was some kind of horror. There were a lot of light biscuits. And the cream is not enough. And the worst thing is that the biscuit was baked very dense and without impregnation. Like a gingerbread but without taste. If it's such an old biscuit. That's how they would make the impregnation. Any cake will be better than this cracker with cream. The quality is not constant.
09.08.2024.
I went to see the Soviet retro style, stucco and paintings (I really like this). Decor and style for 5 people.
Food (Warsaw cake) and cocktail for 2 people. I don't recommend the kitchen there.
When you arrive in Minsk, you do not need to run around different shops in search of good shopping: it is enough to visit two iconic places in this sense!
These are GUM and CUM.
I'll write about the CENTRAL ONE here. You will immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the good old Soviet times, but as if in a "Birch tree"! The selection and assortment are very rich, and the prices are no higher than in other stores. Buy everything here at once (save a lot of time)! At the same time, enjoy the process itself!
Don't skip by!
It is a very beautiful and atmospheric place. Delicious cakes, very fresh. I advise you to try the famous Oscar coffee, it is made with cognac, egg white whipped into foam and cinnamon!!!
The cafeteria is just wonderful! A very large selection of cakes, desserts, etc. everything is so delicious, you can lick your fingers) my friend and I were delighted with the taste qualities of the selected cakes. I recommend everyone to visit this cafeteria and try the delicious food they like.
An authentic place, how interesting it is just to observe the ordinary life of the usual grocery stores. It is very curious and if you do not follow the figure, grab a meringue roll for ridiculous money!
Well, that's it. The usual cooking. The bloggers' photos were more colorful. As if it's not worth wasting your time, any other coffee shop or bakery wins in terms of eating delicious
I did not understand the admiring reviews. The most stupid and not tasty place , and in the evening a marginal audience gathers. I do not recommend visiting, look from the street…
A wonderful place in the heart of the capital! A pleasant motley audience!
Friendly staff!
I want to come back here again and again!
I love Central with all my heart!
Thanks!
