Kashtan Coffee is widely regarded as a hidden gem in Kyiv, celebrated for its hipster aesthetic and retro atmosphere. Reviewers frequently mention the unique courtyard setting, which provides a quiet escape from the city streets. The coffee quality is generally praised, with the flat white receiving specific accolades, though some visitors noted the use of paper cups rather than ceramic mugs. The food menu, particularly the syrniki and avocado sandwiches, is highly rated for its taste, even if some find the prices slightly high. A recurring highlight is the presence of resident crows in a large cage in the courtyard, adding to the place's quirky charm. While some guests mention long wait times for service, the overall sentiment is very positive, focusing on the stylish crowd and chilled vibes.
