Green Caffè Nero Opens at Diuna

This summer, Green Caffè Nero will open at the Diuna office complex, part of the portfolio of PineBridge Benson Elliot and Syrena Real Estate, located in the heart of Warsaw’s Służewiec district. The café will occupy a 200 sq. m space.

Green Caffè Nero is an independent European premium coffeehouse. The brand was created by combining the experience of Warsaw’s Green Coffee and the international Caffè Nero chain. Today, it operates 68 cafés in Warsaw, 7 in Kraków, and 5 in Wrocław. Since opening its first café in 2012, Green Caffè Nero has remained true to its founders’ mission: a true café should be the centre of local life, a place where a cup of freshly brewed coffee, friendly and professional staff and interior design make everyone feel at home. The décor of each café is co-created by Polish artists and craftsmen, from the staircase to the finish of the bar. The café interior is based on natural materials: wood, stone, and metal. Comfortable furniture, a hand-carved and individually designed bar, hand-moulded brick tiles create the unique atmosphere of each café.

“From the very outset, Green Caffè Nero’s aim has been to create a space that is warm and comfortable, good for meeting friends, working or simply observing life going on around you. Diuna is an excellent example of revitalising an office space and giving it many new functions. I am very pleased that our next 82^nd café will open there. I believe that the green open space of Diuna will attract local residents and office workers. We can’t wait for our baristas to make their first espresso here. We are already working on an interior design reflecting the neighbourhood and the character of the place to complement Diuna’s gourmet offer with excellent coffee and artisanal food,” said Dorota Pomacho-Pątkiewicz, CEO of Green Caffè Nero.

“We are delighted that Green Caffè Nero is joining our community at Diuna. The presence of the café in our complex is not only a great new option for our tenants but also a step towards creating a space that is alive within and beyond business hours and provides a meeting place for the local community. This was one of the goals of the modernisation of Diuna,” said Ewa Lubańska, Leasing Director at Syrena Real Estate.

The new Green Caffè Nero outlet will occupy 200 sq. m of space on the ground floor of Building D, with direct access from Taśmowa Street and from the new green patio of the complex. This strategic location will provide easy access for employees of the Diuna complex as well as residents and visitors to Służewiec. Customers will enjoy a wide range of offerings: freshly baked baguettes in various flavours, artisanal sandwiches, a variety of lunch menus, and a wide selection of homemade cakes, pastries and baked goods.  There will, of course, be no shortage of excellent specialty quality coffee.

Diuna, formerly known as Marynarska Business Park, has undergone an upgrade thanks to the efforts of Syrena Real Estate and PineBridge Benson Elliot. The office complex in Warsaw’s Służewiec district has been brought up to current market standards, with changes including the revitalisation of the external areas and the redevelopment of the entrance lobbies of the four buildings. The 6,000 sq. m concrete car park has been transformed into a public park with 50 trees, 96 species of shrubs, a stream and an educational pavilion.

With a total usable area of 46,000 sq.m., the companies headquartered here include: Accord, NewCold, Colgate, Daikin Europe, Eurocash, Ford, JDE, Oceanic, S.C Johnson, FOUNDEVER, Business Lease, Leasing Team and WDX. The complex also houses a LUX MED clinic and a café and bakery I highly recommend. The complex has 1,200 parking spaces in three underground parking garage levels.
