Babushka

If you’ve had truly memorable bread at a restaurant in or around Rijeka, chances are it came from Babushka Artisan Bakery. Not a typical bakery, Babushka takes orders via Instagram messages a few days in advance (though there’s often something available even for same-day orders), or by phone, with deliveries made only on Saturdays—bringing a charming, old-fashioned rhythm to the whole experience. Alongside their signature loaves, Babushka often prepares focaccia, sweet pastries, and other baked goods, all made in small batches with care. The selection changes regularly, so the best way to see what’s available is to check their Instagram Stories for weekly updates.
