Kharms is highly regarded by visitors as a peaceful, 'old-school' sanctuary in Kyiv, boasting a 4.6-star rating. Reviewers frequently praise the cafe's quiet, artistic atmosphere, noting that it is an ideal place for writing, reading, or having meaningful conversations. The coffee, particularly the cappuccinos, is noted for its artistic presentation, though some guests mention it is served at a moderate temperature rather than piping hot. Food offerings like the shakshuka, carrot cake, and cheesecakes—including a well-received vegan option—are consistently highlighted as enjoyable. The staff is described as friendly, and the addition of evening candlelight is a recurring favorite detail among patrons. Overall, it is seen as a must-visit for those seeking a break from the bustle of the city.
