Nestled in the heart of Zaporizhzhia on Persha Lyvarna St, Proba is an enchanting café that feels like a warm embrace from the moment you step inside. This little gem is not just a place to grab a coffee; it's a sanctuary for those seeking solace from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Its inviting atmosphere, adorned with unique decor crafted by the owner, brings a touch of nature indoors, making it a delightful escape.

Visitors rave about the café’s charm, with customer Аня Рыбалка praising it as "невероятное заведение" (an incredible establishment) and highlighting its cozy ambiance. The warm, friendly staff enhances this inviting atmosphere, ensuring that every guest feels welcome.

Proba is akin to a hidden oasis right amidst the city's chaos. As Tatjana Vlasenko notes, "Кафе бальзам для души" (the café is a balm for the soul), and it’s easy to see why. The café features a lovely summer courtyard surrounded by lush greenery, creating a peaceful atmosphere where one can truly unwind. The decor is a thoughtful blend of natural elements, making it ideal for nature lovers and for those who appreciate a touch of artistic flair in their environment.

While Proba offers a limited menu primarily focused on drinks—such as aromatic coffees, refreshing teas, and various juices—it doesn’t compromise on quality. Customer Dmytro Buldakov relishes the café’s rich hot chocolate and mentions that their house-made desserts are a must-try, remarking on their delightful taste. The café's commitment to quality shines through in every cup and every bite.

Frequent visitor Влад Рибалевський describes Proba as a little piece of a foreign café right in the city. He emphasizes the authenticity and soul that permeate every aspect of the café, where the owner himself greets guests and crafts their drinks and desserts. It’s this personal touch, coupled with budget-friendly prices, that keeps patrons returning time and again.

Those who stumble upon Proba, as Julia Vorozhtsova did, often find themselves enchanted. With its warm atmosphere and delightful offerings, it’s a perfect spot to escape for a cup of coffee and indulge in some handmade candies. As she perfectly sums it up, once you’ve visited, you’ll find yourself eagerly returning to savor another cup.

In summary, Proba is more than just a café; it's an experience that nourishes the soul. Whether you're looking for a tranquil spot to relax with friends, a cozy corner to work, or simply a heartwarming cup of coffee, Proba is a place that wraps you in comfort and invites you to linger a little longer.

Кафе - бальзам для души. Открыла для себя случайно и была так приятно впечатлена. Особенно летний дворик - каждый столик утопает в зелени - словно из шумного города попал в райское место. Внутри все настолько интересно с душой сделано! Любители природного интерьера очень оценят. И когда тебя встречает добродушный хозяин, который не просто хочет тебе что-то продать, а накормить и порадовать - это дорогого стоит. Если хочется отдохнуть душой или приятно пообщаться - это сюда!

A very atmospheric, an owner running place. Grate decor, all made by the owner. A lot of space. Friendly owner. Service is nice and place is clean. NB it is closed in week-ends. They had only drinks (coffee, tea, juices) and a few deserts. We had hot chocolate (good), café late (not bad, but could be better), and two house made deserts (very good).

Отличное место! Уголок уединения прямо посреди шумного города. Есть некий дух маленьких иностранных кафе, где хозяин сам приветствует и обслуживает гостей, и сам же готовит напитки и десерты) Чувствуется, что всё сделано "с душой", аутентично. Цены более чем демократичные. Когда бываю на Советской, то всегда стараюсь зайти в Пробу.

Случайно заглянули в это место и были приятно поражены. Очень тепло и душевно, хозяин встречает, все делает сам, видно что это его дело «для души». Летняя терраса уютная. Кофе хороший, конфеты ручной работы тоже отличные. Обязательно будем возвращаться на чашечку кофе!
