Wojciech and Edyta Dziedzic roast to order at their Gdynia shop, beginning each batch only once a customer places it. Single-origin arabicas, robusta and flavoured blends ship alongside teas and syrups.
Best for Made-to-order single-origin arabica and robusta from Wojciech and Edyta Dziedzic's Gdynia roastery
Wojciech and Edyta Dziedzic run Cafe Ina as, in their own words, "your local coffee dealer" — a roastery and shop on Gdynia's Handlowa Street built around a simple operating principle: they roast only after an order comes in. Rather than holding stock of pre-roasted beans, the pair begin roasting once a customer signals demand, a practice aimed at freshness over throughput. The sourcing spans a wide geography for a shop this size — single-origin arabica and robusta lots from South America, Central America, Africa and Asia sit alongside house blends built for espresso and filter alike. A roast master oversees the profiles, and the range extends into flavoured coffees (vanilla, caramel, orange, hazelnut) and a reduced-price Premium line, plus specialty teas for customers who come in for something other than coffee. It is a small-operation model — two named owners, one street address, one roasting philosophy — that trades scale for control: every bag reflects an order actually placed, not a forecast. For visitors to Gdynia's coastal shopping district, it is a rare chance to watch made-to-order roasting happen at counter scale rather than industrial scale.

Coffibo has worked out of Grabówek, on Gdynia's western edge, for more than two decades, running a roastery that handles daily batches ranging from a few kilograms to several hundred depending on demand. The shop's identity rests on continuous cupping — professional tasting sessions used to test new lots and refine blends rather than settle on a fixed lineup and leave it alone. The single-origin range draws on Brazil Santos, Ethiopia Djimmah and other named origins, sold alongside the house Premium Ambasador blend, with prices set per weight rather than as flat bag prices. Beyond retail, Coffibo runs barista training and brewing courses for both hobbyists and working baristas, and supplies B2B accounts — offices and small cafes — with fresh-roasted coffee on a standing basis. The combination of a working roastery, a training program and a wholesale arm places Coffibo closer to a coffee education hub than a simple retail counter, and the daily-cupping habit is the clearest evidence of a shop still actively tasting its own product rather than resting on an established blend.

Garbaty Knives began in 2012 when Jakub "Kuba" Szydłowski made his first knife in his father's carpentry workshop.
Best for Hand-finished Scandinavian-style bushcraft, hunting and kitchen knives from Gdynia
Garbaty Knives began in 2012 when Jakub "Kuba" Szydłowski made his first knife in his father's carpentry workshop. The hobby grew into a dedicated brand based in Gdynia, on Poland's Baltic coast, run today with his wife Magda, who the site says handles the business's "stage and backstage" — marketing and accounting — while Kuba works the bench.
Each knife is cut from sheet steel, ground, heat-treated, fitted with a wood, G10, or kydex handle, and paired with a hand-sewn leather sheath. The catalogue spans bushcraft and survival models (Traper, Hunter, Camper, Bear, Mini Parang, Crocodile, Machete Parang), hunting knives (Deer, Owl), an urban EDC neck knife, a fishing knife (Pike), Scandinavian-ground blades, and a kitchen line, alongside DIY "Mystery Knife Box" kits for beginners.
The site frames the work in personal terms rather than industry claims: Kuba describes himself simply as driven by "TRUE PASSION" for the craft, an adventure he says has "lasted so many years." Contact details on the site name the proprietor as Jakub Szydłowski and place the workshop in Gdynia, with no fuller street address published. Garbaty's own About and Contact pages are the primary sources for its founder, Gdynia workshop and product range; the maker does not publish production volumes or a fuller street address.
