Coffee dominates

Statistics suggest that operators of Coffeeheaven, Café Nescafé, Tchibo Coffee Bar and others have already opened at least 100 modern cafés in Poland in a large variety of localities where they have clearly won a large devotee following. Building owners are phoning to propose renting properties. But that is far from suggesting that cafés are treated favourably by developers. Cafés with a tempting image... You enter a café and order a coffee when you feel the urge, and that means coffee bars should be situated on the busiest streets in a city, to provoke the greatest number of "urges" - at least that is what you are told by agents searching for a place to run such a business. In Warsaw that means the surroundings of the intersection of Marszałkowska Street with Jerozolimskie Avenue, Chmielna and Now Świat Streets, the Old Town in Kraków and the surroundings of the Market Square and Świdnicka Street in Wrocław.
