Turns out, it didn't take a lot to persuade me to start heading to Vračar regularly for a drink with friends instead of my usual Dorćol – Savamala route.
All it took was (in this order): very, very good coffee. Music from vinyl records. 70s inspired interior. A shaded garden. Kusmi tea. Late breakfast. Freshly squeezed "cocktails". To be completely honest, their "slow coffee" would have been enough by itself.
I ventured there by chance and thought that the place looked nice. Then I tried their espresso and thought – hmmm, this is even nicer. And then, I heard my favorite Cure album. And that was it.
Now I consider it a perfect place to spend a lazy afternoon, to finish the weekend trip to Kalenić with their Sunday brunch, or to start a long summer evening.
