Cafe in Moscow

In this post we will tell you about an interesting type of cafes that gain popularity in Moscow.

They are called time-cafe or co-working or anti-cafe.

The idea is the following: anyone comes to the cafe and pays for the minutes he or she spends there. 
What is more important, you can eat everything you can find in the cafe, usually these are different cookies, fruit, tea or coffee etc. You may bring even your own food. However, in most cafes alcohol is a taboo.

In the places like these you may work in silence because during the day there are not so many people there;
you may invite friends just to talk or to play table games which are provided by any cafe.
Moreover, many of these cafes organise various events: concerts, workshops, meeting with famous people... 

Besides, if you have anything to tell the people, you can present a lecture or sing for people, you may do it in one of the cafes. Everyone is welcomed!

Average cost is about 2 rub per minute. So, if you spend there an hour it will be 120 rub, about 4 dollars or 3 euros. 

Here are some of the most popular anti-cafes in Moscow
