Crossing the threshold of Cała w Mące (Whole in the Flour), you enter a world full of female creative passion. The ladies work under the leadership of the owner, Monika Walecka, a baker and photographer whose skills and love for baking matured in the best establishments scattered around the world. Lucky residents of Żoliborz can enjoy the baked goods of this unique bakery in Warsaw every day, but many lovers of good bread are able to travel halfway across the city to get their loaf. Anyway, the term "good bread" is definitely not enough here.

The long fermentation process of about 20 hours makes the bread easy to digest, while the high baking temerature allows the crust to caramelize, giving it not only a deep brown colour and exceptional crispness, but also extending the length of time the bread can be stored. Although, given its outstanding flavour, it's hard to imagine that it won't disappear in a flash. In the composition you will find only the highest quality cereals grown on Polish soil. The breadwinner, rustic apple wreath, oatmeal bread or Żoliborska roll are just a part of the rich offer of the Cała w Mę.

Another place that is driven by female energy. Justyna Roszkowska and Anna Rożalska combined forces and experience gained, among others, in places well known to Varsovians, "Pochlebnie" and "Montażownia Cukiernicza". The result is a bakery-cafe full of homemade warmth and fragrant baked goods. In addition to many types of bread, including rye, wheat, mixed, for vegans or the now iconic loaf with cheddar and pepper, you'll find an abundance of sweet treats, such as doughnuts, croissants, yeast cakes, creamers, and many offerings that are the result of an unquenchable desire to create something special. That's why you can count on surprising novelties at Dej depending on the current occasion on the calendar. Not to be left out are nutritious sandwiches and aromatic coffee based on beans from excellent roasters from Poland and the world, with the addition of proprietary syrups. In the summer, in turn, artisanal ice cream is made on site.

The rhythm of work at the Dej bakery is set by a massive three-story oven. A loud bell lets you know when the next batch of baked goods is ready to hit the shelves. They don't stay there long, as the place boasts a wide range of regulars.

Referring to Aroma as a chain of bakeries in Warsaw would be a bit of a faux pas. After all, the brand has aristocratic origins, since it pays homage to the French baking tradition. Combined with the Polish vision of a modern bakery and pastry shop, the result is a successful hybrid that even the most demanding consumers appreciate. In the elegant interiors, you can sit back and enjoy the aromatic coffee from the local roaster "Black Wave" and the taste of a croissant. Aroma has several locations in the center of the capital, as well as in Mokotow and Praga Polnoc, providing good accessibility for customers looking for a proven artisan bakery in Warsaw, where you can always count on the same high level of products.

Aroma relies primarily on natural ingredients of the highest quality, slow fermentation, original French recipes and flour, which directly translates into the taste of the products here, and there is plenty to choose from. Artisan sourdough breads, baguettes, éclairs, lemon tartalettes, brioche and magdalenques, as well as proprietary sandwiches perfect for a nutritious breakfast, are also available for catering.

Kubuś Piekarenka is relatively new among artisan bakeries in Warsaw, and it can already be counted among the industry leaders. Kubuś inherited its name and location from a grocery store well known to locals. Another example of how the recipe for success is full commitment, heart and finding a way to stand out from the competition. Certainly the egg and caviar doughnuts offered on opening day (on Fat Thursday) were an original idea. Such interesting twists remain in the memory for a long time.

Although the name Kubuś Piekarenka sounds a bit modest, you can count on a very unassuming breakfast here. For how else to describe a fluffy omelette with crawfish necks on a flavorful, thick pepper-crawfish sauce garnished with bell pepper chips sprinkled with Groseran cheese. Incidentally, although the name doesn't indicate it, this is our Polish cheese from Grodzisk. It's worth being tempted by this or any other original composition, of which there is no shortage here. In turn, lovers of classics at their best will enjoy artisan bread. All you need for a slice of perfect Kubuś bread is a little butter and a pinch of salt. This iconic combination will never get boring.

It will be Good not only feeds its customers well, but also provides them with an interesting spectacle. The entire process of making bread can be observed, as the actual bakery is separated from the workshop by a glass wall. After all, why hide such an attraction. This will make you realise how much effort it takes to prepare baked goods and not let even a piece of good bread go to waste. Besides, the bakery also works in the spirit of zero waste. Będzie Dobrze is the beloved brainchild of Dagmara Rosiak, an optimist who infects people with her smile and positive energy. "Hungry Daga," as the owner jokingly describes herself, has opted for bright colours and vintage-style decor. There are real gems here, everything is recycled, and the atmosphere is casual, even homely.

Another distinguishing feature of Będzie Dobrze is the range of products from different parts of the world available here. That's why you can find Japanese shokupans, French baguettes or Korean garlic rolls with delicate cream curd alongside the traditional loaf and Polish pastry with seasonal fruit. You'll also drink excellent coffee from Warsaw's HAYB roaster, and eat artisanal ice cream in the summer. Like many popular bakeries in Warsaw, here you can also order holiday baked goods in advance, which is certainly not only a tastier option than doing it yourself, but will also save you a lot of time.

In a beautiful old tenement house in Praga North, a small, intimate manufactory has its premises, where baked goods, refined to perfection using traditional methods based on old, proven recipes, are created. Every day, with unrelenting passion and care, these small works of art are created by the concept's originators, Weronika Noganska and Mateusz Karkoszka.

From experimentation in his own kitchen through experience in other bakeries to his own successful bread business. This path was not without obstacles, but persistence and steadfastness paid off, and after several years of operation, Rano boasts a host of loyal customers who appreciate not only the quality of the products, but also the friendly, positive aura of the place. A sincere relationship with people is an important part of this bakery's operation. So are ingredients sourced only from reliable sources, including the staple - flour from Ciechanow, from the Babalskis or from Polski Młyn. Any of the breads available here: wheat classic, wheat with oats, rye with flaxseed or with sunflower seeds, will be eaten to the last slice. In the morning, Piekarnia Rzemieślnicza also offers excellent yeast cakes, brioche, chausson aux pommes, good coffee and sandwiches - a guarantee of a successful morning with which to start a great day.
