Best of Ljubljana - Best Desserts 2024

Desserts are more than just a delightful conclusion to a meal; they are a symphony of flavours and textures that can transport us to a world of sweetness and indulgence. From classic chocolate favourites to exotic fruit creations, desserts tantalise our taste buds and bring joy to our palates.

Here's our list of nominees for Best Dessert 2024 category, it's a tough one!

Čopomana

If you'd like to put a smile on your kids' faces (and let's be honest, it would be strange if you didn't, right?), one foolproof option is a trip to Čopomana. The kitchen of this exceedingly welcoming café is known to produce some of the best cakes in town, while during the spring and summer months the homemade, all-natural ice cream does such an efficient job of drawing in the local neighbourhood children that even the Pied Piper of Hamelin would be jealous.

Kavarna Zvezda

A bustling café frequented by a battalion of clients from students to pearl-laden old ladies, Zvezda’s décor leans in the direction of clean and sophisticated with some really beautiful touches and plenty of light streaming in from the outside. Not the cheapest café in town, your money is at least well spent with coffee strong enough to wake the dead and some of the best and stickiest cakes and ice cream in town. Read more...

Lolita

With absurdly high ceilings, exposed brick walls, great views through huge plate glass windows and super comfortable seating, this riverside café leaves little to be desired - the place even smells great thanks to bouquets of fresh cut flowers at the entrance. Delectable-looking cakes are displayed in specially-built cases, and gourmet chocolates and teas are also on sale, as well as award-winning cocktails. We didn't think Ljubljana had room for any more cafés, but Lolita proved us wrong. Read more...

Zebra Patisseries

Zebra Patisseries is made up of a diverse and professional team that take great pride in ensuring that visitors are completely satisfied with their creations. A quick peep at their goods will show you just how much attention to detail they give. Particularly eye-catching are the eclairs, there’s no such thing as a plain one with these guys. Zebra’s eclairs are works of art in themselves, party on a plate! Read more...

Moji štruklji

One of Slovenia's most typical traditional dishes, štruklji is usually served as a side, but takes centre stage here with more than 20 different varieties of the delightful doughy mainstay offered. Most often translated as 'dumpling', štruklji is a unique type of rolled pastry that can have either savoury or sweet fillings, and is also very versatile when it comes to the cooking method.

Fetiche also possesses a mouth-watering array of sweets that are as good as impossible to resist. Indulge yourself, there's no such thing as a bad time for all things sweet. Read more...
