  • 1. Kavana Lav

    $ | Gornji Grad

    Located in a 13th-century palace that is a protected cultural landmark, this café will make you feel as if you were sitting in an art gallery or perhaps the living room of a wealthy art-collecting uncle. Just up the hill (first right) from the Stone Gate, it is a perfect place to take a load off after the steep climb into Gornji Grad before heading on to seeing the parliament, Museum of Broken Relationships, and St. Mark's Church. If you're lucky, the weather will be fine and you'll find a seat on the charming outside terrace, perched atop the passage leading down to the Stone Gate.

    Opatička 2, Zagreb, Grad Zagreb, 10000, Croatia
    099-222--2075

    Known For

    • Delicious cookies and cakes
    • Good coffee and cocktails
    • Charming stone terrace
  • 2. Salo

    $ | Gornji Grad

    White walls and light wooden furniture set off cool decor like big glass jars of flour in this small airy space on the north end of Dolac Market. With a name meaning "fat" (pork lard, specifically), this café-bakery serves up delicious freshly baked pastries such as salenjaci (a type of Croatian sweet croissant) using traditional Croatian baking ingredients with a modern twist, as well as some sweet and salty light brunch options and acclaimed Cogito-brand coffee. Single portions are small and made to mix and match, so come early for the best choices: the no-reservations policy means first come, first served and goods can sell out quickly. The café is the creation of pastry master Petra Jelenić, chef Tvrtko Šakota, and Cogito Coffee founder Matija Powlison Belković.

  • 3. Amélie

    $ | Donji Grad

    For a cake and coffee experience that the French namesake of this cute little café would be proud of, pop into Amélie just down the hill from the Zagreb Cathedral. The wooden tables and cozy white interior give the place a charming, even slightly rustic feel, and the surprisingly varied selection of delectable cakes and pies will release all your caloric inhibitions. This gem among Zagreb watering holes offers sweets you won't find anywhere else, including an abundance of ice cream options.

    $ | Donji Grad

Named after the founder's birthplace, Maracay, the restaurant is a six-minute walk southwest of the main square and features a small but cheerful interior with colorful tiles and murals.

  • 5. Bread Club 2

    $

    Though it's conveniently nestled behind the Zagreb Cathedral, you'll still be able to smell the aromas of fresh-baked bread and warm pastries at this bakery from down the street. Pop in to see what's on the menu for the day, and then grab a seat on the outdoor terrace—there are heaters during the winter—and people-watch.

    $ | Donji Grad

    At one of the city's few fast-food places, you can select from a range of decent salads and bowls, prepared right in front of you, as well as other light refreshing fare such as ciabatta sandwiches and vegetarian tortillas. Of course, this minichain (three locations in Zagreb) also serves the standbys of burgers and fries, in case you're hungering for more carbs and protein. Try one of their in-house jarred desserts, such as cheesecake.
