Significado
To meet for a drink.
Contexto cultural
In Poland, if you are invited 'na kawę' to someone's house, never arrive empty-handed. Bringing a small box of chocolates or flowers is expected. Kraków is famous for its 'literary cafes'. Going for coffee here often feels like stepping back into the 19th century. In modern Polish offices, 'pójść na kawę' is often a euphemism for 'I need to tell you something off the record'.
It's not about the coffee
You can order tea, juice, or water. No one will be offended if you don't actually drink coffee.
The 'Who Pays' Rule
In a business context, the inviter pays. In a dating context, it's increasingly common to split, but the inviter should be prepared to pay.
