Jagoda

A vast building set on two floors, the Jagoda is much more than the Cocktail bar it calls itself on the door. To the right there's a counter selling cakes and treats, to the left a convential bar, for getting the beers in, and straight ahead there's a grill sizzling with mouthwatering meat and veg. If you can't decide which of those to head to, then you will be hopeless at choosing a seat: there's the convential seating downstairs, some funky green stools at the back, and upstairs there's a cool attic bar under a triangular roof... And we haven't even mentioned the beer terrace by the brook. Not for the indecisive!

Jagoda is my favourite place for a snack in Zakopane. There is a wonderful choice of ice creams, cakes, the biggest and lightest doughnuts ever, full of jam or chocolate. There is an excellent selection of drinks including hot chocolate with lashings of whipped cream and latte. I'm making a beeline for Jagoda every time we visit Zakopane. Definitely THE PLACE when you fancy a treat.

Well, I would simply advise giving a wide berth to Jagoda. There's a little choice in fact, you cannot change anything in the proposed desserts (besides, there are only a few in fact). To make matters worse the staff touches everything with bare hands and in the toilet there is no soap!
