Alternately referred to as the favourite national pastime, café hopping here is a truly delightful endeavour. Umbrella lined patios line the streets, and it's often hard to tell where one ends and another begins. We're here to clarify the situation for you.

Aquariusnet caffe
If you are on the way to an exhibition at the Croatian Society of Fine Arts, (also known as ‘Džamija’) and you’re craving that coffee break, then Aquariusnet is distinctly relaxing and somewhat cool. It is also a great place to shoot some pool.

Babbar
It may rock Thursdays to Saturdays when a DJ plays hip hop and house music, but early in the week it’s a friendly, pleasant place to quench your thirst. You’ll find it just a couple blocks south of the main square.

Baredo
Sitting around the back of the Europa cinema in the centre of town is this huge space. It consists of two floors of tables ready to host your sojourn with a fairly decent cup of coffee. This is a hub of hip Zagreb, so keep your fingers either tapping or inching ever closer to the heat of the pulse. [...]

You may not feel as though you're anywhere near Africa - a little hint friends: you're not. The kava flows freely here in any event and by the end of your visit you'll feel like banging your breast with your fist and letting out some high-pitched screeches. [...]

Čvenk
This street-side café is interesting for one reason: its cobbled street side patio is somehow exceeded by the coolness of its rich golden brown interior, and warrants a visit and at least an hour's worth of conversation. Motown is the music of choice, causing you to ask yourself if th [...]

Destino does great coffee, and the shady seating on the square by the Upper Town’s Stone Gate shrine is nothing short of spectacular. The rock themed interior isn’t half bad either. [...]

Drugi otok
A welcome addition to the alternative café scene, a delightfully shabby lounge like your arty best friend’s place. The crowd is lively and studenty, the music is ultra-hip, and the prices are reassuringly mellow (your half litre beer costs you 10Kn). Great coffee, internet access, a [...]

Those in search of the exclusive perfect coffee bean should look no further. Sip, suck, munch and crunch on all things coffee in an authentically recreated coffee house, circa 1843. Just careful you don't trip on the waiter's grin when you walk through Ambassador Escobar's portico. Fant [...]

One of the best cups of coffee in Zagreb. The muraled walls will trick you into believing you are in Tokyo if you're not careful. This recently renovated outdoors-indoors glass box of a café is the perfect place to hole up on a winter's day, waiting for the café terraces to r [...]

Pušlek - Cvjetni trg
Opposite Bulldog, there is a different kind of café which offers an entirely different experience. A socialist interior attracts plenty of visitors, especially intellectuals and students. In case you’re lucky to get a window seat, you can enjoy the slapdash of Zagreb street life. And please, make sure you have some change in case you need to visit the toilet to make “baka” happy!
