 🇺🇦Kyiv- Ukraine  

☆ Overall Vote: 8/10 ★     



Location: Larks&owls, 18/1, вулиця Прорізна, Київ, 01001 

18/1, Prorizna St, Kyiv, Ukraine, 01001 


☆ Food: 9/10 ★

Coffee and pastry with democratic prices as mentioned in the shop, there is a really good variety of choices and the ingredients are fresh, perfect place if you are lookinf for something healthy and nutricious, regardinge the drinks I would recommed the blue matcha latte  (in the picture) which was full in flavours 

☆ Vibe: 7/10 ★

Located near the city centre, is a small and cozy place, but there is an upper floor if you are not in a rush and have time to relax, the staff was very nice and attentive, ready to suggest good combinations based on what you order 

✪ Interesting facts:

⍟  The coffee culture in Kyiv is strong, there is a cafe in literally every corner and all this competition clearly helped to raise the standards, the variety of coffees and teas you can find in this place is amazing

⍟  This coffee shop is near the Golden gate where you can take your coffee, seat and relax, also if you are lucky you can find talented musicians playing in this park 

⍟ I recommend to take the metro to reach this location, not only because is super cheap and you can avoid the traffic and delays of ordering an uber, but also becuase is literally the deepest metro in the world (Arsenalna station is the deepest) sounds scary but is not, and is defitenily an experience to try

Similar to the GI we can divide food based on GL that can be: LOW:  under 10 MEDIUM: 11-19 HIGH: over 20   In the previous post we discussed about the GI - Glicemic Index and you might have noticed that sometimes could be confusing and has some flows : - It doesn't consider a portion of that food , so is just giving a generic number to it and sometimes is not that accurate - An example is: watermelon which appears to have a high GI but is actually not becuase it reaches that level only with a very large portion  - GI is a good way to make quick food choices but GL is more accurate and is the next step for a better understanding on what kind of food choices to make - The preparation and other ingredients change the GI for example fibers or a longer cooking method will lower the GI level from the one you will see reported officially There are many tables you can find online basically for any kind of food and here some: http://dietdatabase.com/glycemic-index-and-glycemic-load
