Zagreb is a city well known for its coffee culture which basically means sitting for hours and sipping on your cup of any kind of coffee. Is it alone, with friends, family or while having a business meeting - for all occasions and in the morning, afternoon or evening. So, to remember that coffee culture we present MARINSKI HEARTMADES, ceramic cups available in TAKE ME HOME (Tomićeva 4) which will always remind you of Zagreb even when you indulge in your favorite beverage at home. Besides coffee, you should definitely try Croatian wine – we suggest the Croatian wine label MARTIN ALBUS, perfect for all true connoisseurs.
