Freken Bock

Freken Bock is an art cafe in Turgenevsky Lane housed in a 19th-century mansion that blends references to actress Faina Ranevskaya with visual elements inspired by Astrid Lindgren's literature. The interior walls feature photographs and decorative touches that create a distinctive setting for coffee and dining.

The building originally served as the residence of nobleman N. Nikolaev before being converted into apartments following its municipalization in 1925. The space later transitioned to its current function as a cafe in 2009.

The cafe honors actress Faina Ranevskaya with photographs displayed throughout and weaves in elements from Astrid Lindgren's works to create a literary-inspired setting. Visitors encounter a space that merges these two distinct cultural worlds.

Visitors can browse the menu and prices online before arriving at this establishment. Phone reservations are available for booking tables in advance.

The cafe's barista won first place at the southern qualifying round of the Russian Championship Barista in 2013. This achievement reflects the craft and skill invested in every cup of coffee served.
