This place is simply great! The atmosphere is great. I visited with friends, but it would also be a great place for a date night. The atmosphere is great. Where we sat, we were sitting on old church pews. The piano player also creates a wonderful atmosphere too. Cannot recommend enough how good this place was!

First-things-first. I would like to say thank you so much to Kyle & to all the amazing staff of Stash Café for the impeccable service. We celebrated my sister's birthday here & it was the best dining experience we ever had. After dinner, Kyle came back with a little cake adorned with a cute lighted candle & everyone started singing Happy Birthday, in English & Polish accompanied with a piano. It was beautiful! Food was delicious. We ordered the table d'hôte debutant so we could have 4 different dishes in one plate & each dish was a delight. The Kotlet Schabowy was equally delicious, crispy & yet tender on the inside. Overall, our dining experience was fantastic. Thank you so much Stash Café for the unforgettable evening. We truly enjoyed our dinner!

Great little gem in the area! The restaurant itself is really charming, very cosy. The barszcz soup & the kielbasa dish were top notch!

Definitely worth a try! We'll certainly be back.

A wonderful experience at Stash Café. I had the pleasure of rediscovering dishes from my roots & introducing them to my wife.

Everything was delicious: the kapusta, the pierogi, & the kie?basa… a real treat! The atmosphere was also excellent, especially thanks to a very talented pianist who made the experience even more enjoyable.

We also shared a lovely moment with one of the waitresses, with whom we talked about our origins & roots.

Generous, authentic food full of memories, served in a warm & welcoming atmosphere. We will gladly come back.

Kocham moj? Polsk?! 🇵🇱
