Off of the light rail is a single caffe bar between ATMs. The aesthetic is similar to comfy living room with great literary decor. The service is prompt and the vibe is local. I challenge anyone to find a place as good as this in Zagreb for the cost and the vibe.

If you ask me and I live in this neighbourhood, which has quite a lot of coffee bars this is the BEST. The prices are extremely low and the service is extremely good. But this is not the only reason why I love to come to this coffee place high quality of coffee and tea is granted and the interior is designed with love and good taste. The restroom is always clean which is also a plus. All in all the most friendly atmosphere makes you wish to come by every day. And of course and super plus for dog owners is that you 4 paw companions are most welcome here.
