There’s a good reason why Starbucks hasn’t been able to get a toehold in Croatia.

Coffee is the lifeblood of Croatia and it goes hand in hand with the need to share some good gossip rather than burying your head in your laptop. At the heart of this coffee culture is Zagreb, where cafes buzz with the sounds of friends regularly meeting over coffee. ☕🫶

👉 Planning tip:

If you visit on a Saturday between 10 am and 2 pm, you can experience 'Špica,' a lively tradition where people dress up and stroll from café to café around the main Ban Jelačić Square.

👉 Local tip:

Order a traditional Croatian coffee, like bijela kava (similar to a latte), macchiato (a shot of espresso with a bit of milk), or kava sa šlagom (coffee with whipped cream). 👌👌 Since coffee in Croatia is meant to be savored slowly, not rushed - take your time. Engage in conversations, people-watch, and savor those little joys of life.
