Despite being a relatively small city, Bratislava is rich with cafés: from grand coffee houses to trendy student hang-outs. The best cafés are in the centre of town, especially around the Main Square. In the summer, many have outdoor tables, perfect for relaxing after exploring the Old Town.

Kaffee Mayer

A grand cafe of the Vienna school, Kaffé Mayer is one of Bratislava’s most famous establishments with an impeccable pedigree. It’s popular with a more mature crowd and this is reflected in the prices. Kaffé Mayer is notorious for its scrumptious deserts.

Messerschmidt. Plus, part of the café is also the Museum of 17th of November, dedicated to an important point in Slovak history — the Velvet Revolution.

Urban House

The larger (and noisier) sister of the original Gorila cafe, Urban House presents customers with more food options, a lot more comfortable chairs, plus a DJ stand. The only thing better than the cool interior are the heavenly desserts. The coffee comes not only in many interesting varieties, but also prepared in one of the inventive vacuum pots straight from a science lab. Urban House‘s dog- and kid-friendliness attracts cute pups and parents with toddlers around the clock.
