Bratislava's Cafés, Cafe Bars, Coffeeshops
Coffee drinking in Bratislava draws on the Viennese tradition. Since
the fall of Communism, various cafés have sprouted throughout the city,
especially in the centre.
Most now serve espressos from good espresso machines and many advertise
the brand of coffee they use on their cups, napkins and storefronts.
Popular brands include Alfredo, Bristot, Julius Meinl, Lavazza and a
number of other Western European suppliers.
Upscale:
Cafe Mayer
- reviving a tradition from the early 20th century, Mayer is an
impeccable polished café, offering some of the proudest-looking
home-made cakes in Bratislava. Service is busy and not always as
attentive as one would expect, but tourists who bear a promise of
decent tip are attended to professionally.
Café Maximilian
- refurbished as a cafe/chocolaterie, Roland offers countless
delicacies in a smoke-free environment great for people-watching in the
Main Square.
Our favourites:
Antik -
A richly decorated posh café in, an antique style room with mirrors
offers spotless service and great coffee just off the Main Square on
Sedlarska. The café also serves mixed drinks and tap beer. Tourists,
local businessmen and the chattering classes mingle, especially
perusing the street seating, which is heated with gas heaters on colder
days.
Next Apache
- A cool and friendly expatriate-owned small café in a court-yard on
Panenska 28, quite near the Presidential Palace. Next Apache offers
quality coffee, variety of soft drinks, tap beer but also hundreds of
English-language books to browse and buy. In the summer, there is an
atmospheric terrace inside the building's court-yard
Verne -
Located in the building of the Bratislava Academy of Fine Arts on
Hviezdoslavovo Square is a charming café with antique furniture and
unique decorations based on the fantastic themes of books of the French
writer Jules Verne. Verne serves excellent coffee but is also popular
for tap beer and drinks in the evening. Throughout the day the kitchen
serves up a variety of mainly local dishes (albeit with varied
quality). The staff are dynamic, unpretentious and friendly and regular
patrons include a lively crowd of students, artists and other
professionals. In the summer, outside seating is hugely popular.
