Radosti Kofe: Description

Radosti Kofe - "the joys of coffee" - is a Scandinavian-style designer café on the banks of the Malaya Neva River on Vasilevskiy Island. The interior of the coffee shop is impeccably styled and includes fun features like stacked seating almost resembling a staircase, slippers for patrons to use, and a mix of industrial furniture pieces and exotic palm-like plants. The storefront at Radosti has two large, floor-to-ceiling windows with bar seating so that guests can enjoy the view of the nearby Petrovsky Stadium, which is located just across the river on the Petrograd Side. Radosti serves traditional coffees and espresso drinks, as well as fruit-infused specialty teas. The outlet has full menus with breakfast and lunch items and offers a particularly wide selection of non-traditional vegetarian and vegan options. But Radosti's piece de resistance is without a doubt its desserts, which include housemade cupcakes, cakes, brownies, and various one-of-a-kind goodies not to be found in other cafes around the city.
