About
A small coffeeshop on the territory of the Museum of Moscow has an air of a quirky Soviet reading room with mismatched chairs, tables and bookshelves borrowed from schools and brought from someone's dacha. The menu is rather small, they only have some sandwiches and biscuits but they make excellent coffee and there's a good selection of teas (including traditional Russian ivan chai or rosebay willowherb tea) for non-coffee drinkers. They also have an open terrace under the lilac tree which is particularly great in May and June when the tree is in bloom. There's a good supply of books and albums about Moscow to browse while you sip your coffee.
