Drunken Cherry

Out of all the Lviv treats, Drunken Cherry might be the most famous. This institution is an integral part of Lviv. If you are in the central square (Rynok) in Lviv you will notice a crowd of cheerful people, and rest assured they are tasting a cherry tincture.

Cherry tincture is a traditional drink that is usually made at home and served as a quick drink. The drink is considered low alcohol, but be careful how much you drink. Due to the sweetness and aroma you will not notice how easily you can be intoxicated.

Places offering cherry liquor can be easily found in the center of Lviv and having a glass is one of the top things to do in Lviv. A crowd and an interesting showcase will be sure to grab your attention.

Coffee Mine

It is said that in Lviv people drink water, beer and coffee in equal quantities. Delicious coffee is one of the features of this city. No wonder there is even a coffee museum in Lviv. Going into this coffee shop – museum you will immediately smell the freshly ground coffee.

Here you can buy different types of coffee and everything to make it, as well as different coffee syrups and sweets. Here you will also be able to go down to a mysterious dungeon where you can see how coffee is mined (that’s a joke, of course).

There is a cafe in the dungeon where you can grab a drink. Coming out of the dungeon you will find yourself in a beautiful terrace with a glass ceiling. From time to time live music is played here and you can order delicious coffee and various desserts. It feels especially romantic when it is raining and you can simply enjoy the coziness, light music, delicious coffee and the sound of rain sitting under a glass ceiling.

Here you will find truffles, marzipan with different toppings, different types of chocolate with different nuts, chocolate with fruit, chocolate with liquor, chocolate in the form of different animals, shoes, hearts, cars and weapons, and even adult chocolate in the form of different poses from the Kamasutra.

In this shop you can also buy Lviv coffee, beautiful coffee cups and interesting children’s books and coloring books. This is a great place to visit with your kids and just with your friends. Two floors above there is a very romantic cafe where you can enjoy delicious melted chocolate and various desserts.
