Best coffee spots in Dubrovnik

01

Cogito Coffee

Dubrovnik's best specialty coffee in a tiny Old Town location. The baristas are serious about extraction and the espresso is strong and smooth. A rare find in a city dominated by tourist-trap cafes.

02

Festival Cafe

On the main Stradun with outdoor seating facing the Sponza Palace. The coffee is decent but you're here for the people-watching — the parade of Old Town visitors from this vantage point is endlessly entertaining.

03

La Dolce Vita

A gelateria and cafe near the Rector's Palace with excellent Italian-style coffee and Dubrovnik's best gelato. The pistachio flavour is exceptional and the espresso is properly strong.

04

Komarda

Outside the Old Town in Lapad, this modern cafe does excellent specialty coffee and brunch. It's where local professionals work from — good WiFi, no tourist markup, and proper flat whites.

05

Banje Beach Cafe

A cafe on the famous beach outside the Ploče Gate with views of the Old Town walls. The coffee is average but drinking it with that view is hard to beat. Best in the early morning before the beach fills up.

06

Art Cafe

A gallery-cafe inside the Old Town with local art on the walls and a peaceful courtyard. The cakes are homemade and the coffee is above average for the area. A quiet escape from the Stradun crowds.

07

Mlinar

A local bakery chain with a branch in the Old Town that's genuinely good. Fresh burek, pastries, and decent coffee at prices that won't make you wince. The cheese burek is the best quick snack.

08

Skar Cafe

A modern cafe near the Pile Gate with a garden terrace hidden from the street. Great smoothies, solid espresso, and a relaxed atmosphere. Popular with the younger local crowd.
