Finjak is one of my favourite coffee shops  to visit during fall and winter season because of its cozy and warm atmosphere. Its decor simply blew me away when I've first visited - from the crystal chandelier to the wooden industrial stools, the interior is on point. The fairy lights, vintage signs and the hanging bicycle add the extra touch of uniqueness to the place. This cafe also has an outdoor sitting area.

Even though the room is rather small, the mirrors on two sides optically enlarge the space. Also a good thing about Finjak is that if you're visiting for Christmas, Valentines Day or any other themed holiday, chances are you're gonna be pleasantly surprised next time you visit, whether it's just simple heartshaped balloons or something more. Furthermore, if you come early enough you might get your hands on mini croissants with your cup of coffee.

Fine Torte is a cute pastry shop located in the centre of Zagreb (Vlaška 31), with a direct view on a statue of August Šenoa - one of the most popular writers in Croatia.

The first thing you notice about this place is a lovely patio with hot pink tables and matching chairs decorated with cute plants. The interior is very bright and open, decorated with gray and muted pink tones with marble tables.

The shop offers a large variety of cakes, from delicious chocolate cakes to light and fluffy fruit cakes. You can also order tea, coffee or freshly squeezed juices. We personally tried vanilla raspberry cake that is called "Ledeni vjetar" which was pretty tasty and light, as for the drinks we had coffee and tea (you can't go wrong with those things, right?).

A nice and warm atmosphere ideal for catching up with your friends and family.

This little dessert restaurant and bakery in Vlaška 45 offers a wide spectrum of original British cakes and cookies, some of them being the shortbread cookie, Manchester pudding, Battenberg cake or custard tart decorated with slices of peach. Are you hungry yet?

There you cannot only eat all kinds of british cakes, but you can also enjoy a healthy breakfast food, such as muffins with carrots and apples or a croissant pudding with apples and blueberries. If you happen to be passing by around 5pm, drop by and hopefully you'll be just on time for five-o'clock tea party.

Interior design is classical. The simplicity of white and black walls, with just the right amount of golden details creates a warm atmosphere. The whole British theme matches perfectly with the vibe of the space. Definitely, I'm coming back to try other cakes.

At the end of Savska cesta, or to be more exact in Horvaćanska 3, you can find the most unusual tree house, mounting over a grey wall, separating the street from the caffe in the same time. 'A most unusual garden' consists mainly of 3 parts - a indoor bar area, which is decorated in a vintage style; an outdoor sitting area, with a statement monochrome tiled flooring and white metal tables; and lastly, the cherry on top, a white wooden tree house, that offers a view over the whole 'unusual garden'. The tree house is rather small and the sitting area there isn't really appealing, nonetheless it still adds some pizzazz to the whole ambient.

The caffe is surrounded by quite boemic and artistic atmosphere. It offers a variety of drinks, but it's most well known drink is gin&tonic, a refreshing alcoholic drink which fits the local's atmosphere perfectly. We only ordered lemonade & sprite (15 kn/2$), which were served in cute looking jars and a fancy looking glass.

When the night falls, fairy lights turn on and brighten the area around the wall and across the whole outdoor sitting plateau.

At last, the overall impression is positive. It's definitely a great place for going out with your friends, while enjoying a nice drink or two.
