Overview

Cafes The guide was updated: 2024-09-10

For Croatians, having coffee is more than just drinking a beverage, it's a ritual and a social event. Take your time to sit at a table and soak up the local atmosphere at one of Zagreb's charming cafes. The thriving coffee scene will leave you spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a place.

Teneo Coffee Shop

Teneo Coffee Shop

Teneo Coffee Shop is a small coffee shop with some outdoor tables. They serve a variety of drinks like juices, smoothies and teas, but coffee is definitely the star here. They have their own blend and make espresso, latte and cappuccino alike.

Amélie

Amélie

Amélie is a lovely cafe close to Jelačić Square where you can indulge in a cup of coffee with a sweet treat. It can be a small macaron or a piece of their delicious homemade cakes like cheesecake, brownies, or a strudel. You'll be happy to know that at Amélie, they use only authentic, organic ingredients, Belgian chocolate, French almond flour, and Viennese pistachios.

Silent Caffe

Silent Caffe

At Silent Caffe, you can place your order and ask for the bill using a tablet, as most of the employees here are deaf. It is the first cafe of this kind in Croatia that illustrates in practice how technology can help overcome communication barriers.

Cogito Coffee Shop

Cogito Coffee Shop

Cogito Coffee is a roasting company based in Zagreb that aims to serve fair-trade, high-quality coffee. They sell their coffee to several cafes around the world, but they also have their own place in the city centre. Try their single-origin coffees from tropical regions, a speciality blend, or even an organic tea.

Eli's Caffe

Eli's Caffe

Eli's Caffe is a coffee roastery and coffee shop highly specialised in this hot beverage, as it's the only thing they serve. You can order a regular espresso or something special like a cappuccino with soy milk or a marocchino: a macchiato with cocoa powder.

Booksa

Booksa

Booksa is a coffee shop and literary club frequented by locals that hosts several cultural events throughout the year, such as talks with Croatian and non-Croatian writers and concerts. They serve hot and cold drinks and also have some English-language books and magazines to browse through. Note that they require a small membership fee to enjoy the cafe's space and events, as Booksa is run by a non-profit organisation.

The Cookie Factory

The Cookie Factory

The Cookie Factory offers a great selection of American sweets that you'll hardly find anywhere else in Zagreb–from big cookies and brownies to cupcakes and pies. If you really want to build it up, add ice cream to your order. The drink menu includes lemonade, shakes, smoothies and, of course, American coffee.

Botaničar

Botaničar

Only a few steps away from the Botanical Garden, Botaničar is a stylish cafe that hosts art exhibitions and cultural events like book presentations. The interior vaguely resembles a greenhouse, with plants as decoration and vintage green sofas and chairs. Note that they have a drinks-only menu.

Korica

Korica

Korica is a cafe and artisan bakery where you can get your daily dose of sugar. They're proud of the fact that their bread, pastries, and cakes are all hand-made with traditional methods and contain zero additives.

Express Bar

Express Bar

At Express Bar, you'll find a selection of coffee and organic tea from different countries, as well as skilled baristas well-versed in latte art. At this small, modern coffee shop, you can sit in front of the window or at an outdoor table and just watch people pass by while you enjoy your warm drink.

Vis a vis by Vincek

Cafe U Dvoristu

Cafe U Dvoristu

"U Dvoristu" means "in the yard" in Croatian, and this cafe does indeed have a lovely yard where you can sit and enjoy your drink. Their coffee is supplied by the local roasters of Cogito Coffee, and it is served in a variety of ways, including with soy or almond milk. The drinks-only menu also includes a good selection of teas, beers, and juices.

Velvet

Velvet is an elegant two-rooms cafe providing sweet and savoury snacks as well as hot and cold drinks. When it becomes dark, the chandeliers and star-shaped lights hanging from the ceiling light up and create a magical atmosphere. They also have books and magazines to browse through on cold winter afternoons.
