"The day is known by the morning", they say. The most important and beautiful part of the day is when, after a hearty and healthy breakfast, we start the day with our favorite coffee. Most prepare their coffee at home, while others experience their morning ritual in the pleasant atmosphere of their favorite coffee shop. If the space is still inspiring, it's a great combination for a good start to the day.
Undoubtedly, we can say that they are for good coffee two key things. That it is good and that we drink it in a pleasant place. We walked around the center Ljubljana and discovered something corners, where upon entering, we were not only surprised by the homeliness of the ambience, but also by the intoxicating smell of coffee.

When we urgently need a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and a good coffee, we meet at Gornji trg, where the route leads us to the Ljubljana Castle. In addition to good refreshments, vegan delicacies and other drinks, the open, minimalist ambience also offers a quiet place to sit outside the bar. If you are rushing by on errands and don't have time to stop, you will receive a greeting when you meet the owner.

It's a great place to hang out with good music and shake out new ideas together.

On the outskirts of the city center, on Prešernova cesta, our gaze stops at the Bazilika bistro. A family story based on simplicity and difference.

In the immediate vicinity of the Ljubljana market, on Krekov trg, you can find a charming cafe that conjures up a special ritual of drinking coffee. It is a place where coffee is sincerely devoted and knowledge about the origin, preparation and drinking is also served to the guests of the bar. Čokl is a peaceful haven for special pleasures that should not go unnoticed. Their slogan is "The place is small, but the coffee is big!" (The place is small, but the coffee is big!), and they also serve fair coffee.
