If you read any of my other texts here, you could've seen that I prefer cold beer in the summer. Which is a normal type of thinking. Summer, cold beer, and a place by the river. But, oh my how things can change. It is a short but bumpy trip from cold beer to iced coffee. And then, there comes Java Coffee.
I will not talk about how I switched from beer to iced coffee, I will just talk about how much Java Coffee is helping me physically and mentally. Located just above Belgrade Fair, in the Senjak district, it is close to the city center, but just as far. That being said, you can chill in a quiet atmosphere and still be in the center in no time. Also, Senjak district is a part of the city where you can see a lot of beautiful villas (mostly embassies) and enjoy hanging around.
And about Java Coffee, I really recommend iced coffee but also any other type of coffee. It is a roastery so you can also buy single-origin coffee if you like. Quality is always on point. On the menu, you will also find some tasty snacks, and my favorites are raw cakes made of oats and fruit.
So, in short - coziness, great coffee, healthy snacks, and peace of mind. Close but also far from the city. Also, a beer if you want it, but...that I will skip.
