“ Loved the views, cozy atmosphere, nice decoration, and specially the kittens (I hope that they will be taken care of when the winter comes!) The lemonade was an average. Would go there again for e.g. reading a book and enjoying the vibes around the cafeteria. ”
“ A lovely atmospheric setting to enjoy a coffee in the heart of the city with friends and family! One of so many beautiful places in Sarajevo, an incredibly underrated city ”
“ My favourite cafe in old town. Came here three times on our trip here and would’ve come everyday if we didn’t have plans. The 4 kittens were the main reason we came back but the vibes and drinks were also lovely. Would highly recommend. ”
“ Get your Salep at this cafe to warm you up on a cold day in Sarajevo! It is not too sweet and the spices are just right. Served by good honest people! ”
“ Beautiful atmosphere and Bosnian coffee. A beautiful view for a little rewind while drinking coffee. The price is 5 KM for a bosnian coffee. Lokum was also very delicious, we asked for more! But there is no breakfast menu, if you want something traditional breakfast to eat, this is not a right place. ”
