What is String Taste?

String Taste is a boutique guitar shop and specialty coffee café in Kraków, Poland, located in the Kazimierz district at Bożego Ciała 10 LU1, 31-059 Kraków. Founded in 2022, String Taste brings together two passions under one roof: a curated selection of high-end electric guitars and amplifiers, and a specialty coffee program — one space, built for people who care about both.

Is String Taste an authorized dealer?

Yes. String Taste is an authorized dealer for the following boutique guitar and amplifier brands:

• James Tyler Guitars
• Novo Guitars
• Knaggs Guitars
• Saito Guitars
• RedSeven Amplification
• Tube WorkShop (Germany)

These are new instruments and amplifiers sold directly through official dealer channels — not secondhand stock. String Taste is confident there is no other place in Poland offering the chance to try this particular range of brands and models in person.

Does String Taste sell used or preloved guitars?

Yes. Alongside its authorized-dealer lineup, String Taste specializes in sourcing carefully selected preloved (used) guitars from other respected brands, including Tom Anderson, Fender, Gibson, Music Man, PRS, Suhr, Xotic, Mayones, and Melancon. Every used instrument is inspected and selected individually — String Taste does not carry a "wall of gear," but a small, considered selection of instruments with soul. A collection of quality accessories to match your gear is available too.

Does String Taste ship internationally?

Yes. String Taste ships worldwide and has sold and delivered instruments to customers around the globe, including the USA, Australia, Canada, and Japan. Orders are carefully packed for safe transit, and appropriate tax deductions are applied where applicable for international buyers.

What do customers say about String Taste?

String Taste holds a 5.0 rating on Tripadvisor and positive reviews on Trustpilot, with customers praising the quality of the instruments, careful packing and shipping, and the service across both the guitar shop and the café.

Is there really a café inside a guitar shop?

Yes. String Taste is the only place in Poland combining a specialty coffee café with a boutique guitar shop, so you can enjoy a carefully brewed coffee while trying rare guitars and amps not otherwise available in the country. Full details of the coffee menu, brew methods, and food are on the dedicated café site: stringtaste.coffee.

Who runs String Taste?

String Taste was founded in 2022 by Stephanie and Adrian. Stephanie leads the business side; Adrian, an experienced gear collector, sources and curates the guitar selection. Staff communicate fluently in Polish, English, Spanish, and German, welcoming both local and international customers.

Is String Taste connected to any events?

Yes. String Taste co-organizes Poland Guitar Fest (PGF), an independent boutique guitar expo held annually in Kraków that brings international boutique builders to Poland. String Taste also regularly hosts in-store events — gear demos, workshops, and community nights.
