Bookastore Belgrade
Books and coffee in one
Tatjana from Belgrade
If you're a book fan looking for a quiet place to have a coffee or tea and browse through books, Bookastore on Cara Lazara Street is the place for you. This spacious spot is bright, with plenty of natural light during the day. There are also a few tables outside on this small pedestrian street, perfect for enjoying the nice weather. Booka is a publishing agency, so at their bookstores, you can discover new local writers, the latest books, the most popular titles, and more. In addition to Serbian literature, you can find foreign literature in Serbian translation, as well as some books in English.
Beyond books, Bookastore also offers a variety of products from local designers, such as jewelry, T-shirts, bags, posters, and more. Everything is interesting and affordable, making this my go-to spot when I'm looking for a gift.
In addition to this Bookastore on Cara Lazara Street, there's another location on Bulevar Kralja Aleksandra, which doesn't have a café but still offers a wide range of books and other items to browse and perhaps purchase as a Belgrade souvenir.

Espresso Bar
Inner center coziness
Espresso Bar has one of the best coffees in town and I don't know if the guys working there have some secret hidden DJ, but the music is always on point.

Java Coffee
My go-to iced coffee place
It is a roastery so you can also buy single-origin coffee if you like. My favorite tasty snacks here are raw cakes made of oats and fruit.

Chernyi Cooperative Roasters
Industrial minimalism
This is a self-service, non-smoking place where you can get very nice, high-quality coffee. They also serve breakfast, and have amazing carrot cake!

Sač
The melting pot
"Sač" in Belgrade's Zemun is a restaurant known for its veal and lamb baked 'pod sačom' which makes them absolutely delicious. Curious location, too...

Ljutić
Backyard coolness
"Ljutić" Belgrade is hidden and there's little to announce that it's an ever-growing popular spot. But it's a low profile bar, and I love it for it.

Chillton
Chill at will
"Chillton" is not yet another classic Belgrade apartment club. The atmosphere is shabby, chilled, completely unpretentious. You can be yourself here...

Fijuk Sajam
A trade fair for loonies!
"Fijuk Sajam" in Belgrade is the place to be and see on the first Friday of each month -- here you can find just about anything creative under the sun...

Intergalactic Diner
True American space
Intergalactic Diner in Belgrade is like a restaurant from the '60s US Midwest. You can order a Comet Dog, a Deep Space Chick or Cosmic Pancakes there...

Beogradski Manijak
Deep down and dirty
"Beogradski manijak" in Belgrade gives everyone a much-needed respite. Everything about this bar is without a hint of pretense. Cheap booze, good music!

IMR - Old Factory
Back to socialism!
The old factory of IMR (or Industria Motora Rakovica) in Belgrade used to produce tractors... check out this old socialist façade white it's still there!

Makadam
Made in Serbia
Makadam Belgrade collects various items made in Serbia, like T-shirts, cosmetics, books, puzzles etc under one roof. I can't just not buy things here.
