Zagreb


A Zagreb institution, this slastičarna (pastry shop) has been keeping the city's dentists in business since 1978. Come here to reward yourself with a fluffy cherry parfait, a slice of walnut cake or a scoop of ice cream after pounding the cobblestones.

There are several other locations around town including their Vis à Vis cafe offshoot just around the corner, which serves up a range of gluten-free and vegan cakes using no white sugar in the recipes.
