Outstanding menu

I had such an amazing time at Zaczyn when visiting Krakow

I tried a few dishes as I came here with two others and everything I tried was delicious

I was impressed by how fresh and homemade everything was, and everything was to the best quality

This place also seems to be a popular spot as it was non stop busy when i was there

Would highly recommend!

Nice place

Beware of the opening time and the serving time! I was there at 7, but was told they did not serve before 8. I don't know why they do it like this.
They hade some buns, so I ordered two and a coffee. It tasted very nice. At the end they had one more thing ready for the customers, so I took it to go. It was kind of like a shortbread with cream on top and blackberries. This was really good, it is on the picture

100% vegan bakery!

Modern fully vegan bakery with sweet and savoury bakes, I tried the bostock malina and rogalik z róza. Really enjoyed both these. Quite a walk from the Old Town but worth it to try some different options. Paid 20PLN for both items.

Pros: 100% vegan, Interesting options

Local bakery - breakfast

We stayed at Plantonia Aparthotel next door, who include breakfast from this bakery delivered to your room every morning.

It was fine although a bit too heavy/sugary/greasy for my liking, but that's just Polish food for you.

We also stopped by for a quick juice and found the staff super friendly, the premises very inviting, and juices delicious.

Pros: Nice premises, Sweet, savory and granola options for breakfast

Cons: Calory-heavy!

A warm welcome

Just arrived and really not sure what we’re doing but the lovely young man behind the counter spoke perfect English and helped us out. So hungry I forgot to photograph our sandwiches but they were fab!

Pros: Super friendly, helpful staff, Fantastic bread

Zaczyn

One of the best bakeries. Delicious breakfast worth a few kilometres of walk. It's a really small venue, and I was happy to find a seat.

Cons: Small venue

Merenda!

Carino

Bella atmosfera, mi piace tanto vedere la cucina dai posti e le vibes sono ben curate.
Purtroppo il lato panetteria (piekarnia) produce prodotti migliori della pasticceria (cukierna) che lasciano un po' a desiderare, soprattutto i bostock.
Quel pane dolce in figura era buono però.

Pros: Atmosfera, Visione della cucina, Acqua gratis

Cons: Dolci, Prezzo leggermente alto per qualità

As a bakery, great. As a place to eat…not so great.

It’s hard for me to give a 100% vegan place less than five stars, but in this case, I feel it’s warranted.
As a bakery, I highly recommend it. The bread is amazing!
However, those who eat here on the weekends are crammed into a tiny space, with people lining up for bread bumping into their backs and heads. It’s super uncomfortable and I don’t remember ever seeing a cafe with such poor usage of space.
The prices for some things are ok, others, not. 35zl for a piece of bread with some almond cream cheese and potatoes is definitely not worth it.

Fully vegan bakery with nice breakfast options

This place is lovely. You can see the staff making the bread etc which is cool.
Drinks are nice, I love the matcha latte.
The food is good too, it’s a bit posh but is lovely. Very affordable too.
There are lots and lots of nuts here, almost in every dish. Would be good if there were more baked goods like buns that do not contain almond butter but for the breakfasts the staff were very good at substituting nut products.

Would recommend😄

So good

This place is the best. Everything I’ve had from there has been delicious - pastries, scones, bread. Last time I ordered a cottage cheese toast and it was excellent. Just go and try it - you won’t be disappointed.

Highly recommend for sweet & savory!

We loved this spot so much we came back the next day for more and brought friends!
The first day, we tried a chocolate coffee bun (HEAVEN) and a almond ricotta focaccia that had a sourdough base, making it one of the more unique focaccias I've had - but it was still very good!
The second day, we got the sesame chocolate bun which had little sprinkles of halva on top, another focaccia, this one with roasted butternut squash, and a buckwheat porridge with tahini caramel (!) and caramelized banana with miso (!!). The bun was good although not as good as the one from the day before. The buckwheat porridge blew my mind a little, it was one of the most unique things I've ever tasted. Wow!

The bakery is warm, bustling, and filled with the smells of bread & baked goods. Warning: There's not a lot of seating. Really recommend this spot, and I would absolutely come back if I returned to Krakow.

Pros: Delicious baked goods, Really creative flavors

Cons: Lack of seating

Padaria vegana muito top em Cracóvia

É uma agradável caminhada do centro de Cracóvia até a Zaczyn e vale muito a pena. Fui para almoçar, mas chegando lá a oferta de belos salgados e doces era tamanha que decidi experimentar uns.

Peguei um salgado caprichado na alcachofra e um doce com nome indecifrável (foto). Tudo foi tāo gostoso como belo e o doce estava bastante recheado de creme.

Pros: Totalmente vegano, Comida gostosa, Ambiente agradável

So sweet and so savory

It’s so hard to find options when going for breakfast but zaczyn is such an oasis!their food is fresh and delicious and so many options to choose from from. I had a hot roll with potatoes and a small cinnamon roll. So many more things to try there! It’s a must visit

Deserves it's reviews

We got the vegetable labneh and the brioche toast with Aalmond ricotta. They were SO good, loved the creativity, really fresh, tomato had lots of flavour

We got a whole heap of savoury and sweet pastries too, some better than others but overall we were very happy

The location is a bit of a random area, there's a lot of construction going on around it at the moment. It was also quite warm in the store, they didn't have any air-conditioning

Oh my days so lovely!

Everything we got was amazing!

My partner got the mini pizza with olives which was yummy. I got the sweet bun with strawberry which was also yum! The miso and sesame bread was amazing! Lastly, the flat white was really strong and rounded.

The staff were great!

Pros: Mind blowing food, Good prices , Lovely staff

Favorite spot on this side of Wisła river

Zaczyn is just one of my favorite spots in Krakow. Wonderful bread and snacks and amazing, original! breakfast recipes, unexpected flavor combinations. This place is full every weekend so you just need to be patient with the free table, but it’s worth it!

Pros: Great coffee , Original recipes
