Russian Literary Coffee Date
Immerse yourselves in Russia's rich literary culture and spend some time in a cozy coffee shop, sipping on your favorite brew and delving into works from some of the country's renowned authors. It's the perfect, low-budget date that lets you share a chill evening together, exploring Russian historyโฆ
- Begin your date by meeting at Korovai, a cozy cafe in the heart of Tomsk. Each of you should bring your favorite Russian novel or go for a classic such as War and Peace or Anna Karenina. Order your favorite coffee and settle into a comfortable couch. Spend the date reading in the comfortable silence, occasionally pausing to discuss certain scenes or concepts in the novels you're exploring.
- Savour the aroma of roasted beans and the sophisticated atmosphere in the cafe that adds a certain charm to your date. Share insights, opinions, and thoughts about your chosen books, deepening your understanding of both the literature and each other. Itโs a unique date idea that mixes the cultured mind with cozy comfort.
- As dusk draws near, leave the cafe and take a leisure stroll along the Tom riverfront nearby. Let the conversation continue, fueled by the ideas, themes, and characters in the books. The evening walk will add a touch of romance to end the date on a lovely note.
Preparation steps:
- Select a classic Russian novel or a book you believe would be of interest to your partner. Consider a Tolstoy or Dostoevsky, or even a contemporary Russian author. Make sure to dress comfortably and casually, to match the relaxed ambiance of the coffee shop and the evening walk.
- Prior to your date, you might want to do a little pre-reading about the author and the time period in which the book was written. That way, you'll be prepared to discuss some deeper themes in the novel, making for more engaging conversation during your date.
- Remember, this date is not just about enjoying literature, it's also about building a deeper connection with your partner. Listen deeply when your partner shares their perspectives and feelings about their book, and share your own thoughts openly. The conversation you have about the books could lead to discussions about broader life views, beliefs, and values.

Some tips:
- Don't worry if you're not a huge fan of reading. The goal of this date is to experience something new together. You might end up loving the book, or you might not. Either way, you'll still get to spend quality time together, discussing new ideas and learning about each otherโs perspective.
- A quiet coffee shop might not be the place for loud laughter or silly jokes, but that doesn't mean you can't show your personality. Be yourself, share thoughts and opinions honestly. There is a unique intimacy that emerges from such deep conversations that will only make your relationship stronger.
- If you finish discussing your book early, you can discuss about other Russian authors, books you love or books that you would like to read next. It's an opportunity to get to know your partner's reading preferences as well.
