A COGiTO COFFEE SHOp In an arched passageway near the maritime museum, this cute semi-hidden gem is the place to go for people who are serious about their coffee. With beans supplied by the Cogito coffee-roasting outfit in Zagreb, the cuppas that come out of this place are reliably strong, full of flavour and carefully prepared by a trained barista. The place itself is tiny, but seats outside on the cobbles make it an altogether charming place to recharge.QD‑4, Stajeva 5, www.cogitocoffee.com. Open 09:00‑16:00. From June 01 Open 09:00 ‑ 19:00.
