Kafet e Rakisë Prishtina

A tilted lane of lively caffes

Dren from Prishtina

About me I'm an ambitious person on my way to adulthood who loves writing about things that impress me and playing music. I try to keep myself busy and stay active most of the time, so I love taking on or making up projects for myself. My two favourite things in the world are cooking and eating, so you can commonly find me in one of the local fast food shops or my kitchen. I fee...
"This alley in Prishtina offers a buffet of choice when it comes to the best raki and coffee spots. Find your favorite!"

One of the most popular spots in Prishtina's Mother Theresa Boulevard is Kafet e rakisë, or The rakija cafes, a tilted lane of lively cafes that goes up in an alley. This is where you can find raki, a local alcoholic drink that is served in many coffee shops along the way. Raki is a strong and clear spirit that is often mixed with water and consumed with snacks. It is a traditional drink that is enjoyed by many people in this area.

The cafes in this lane offer a variety of options for different moods and preferences, which you should explore as there is one for every taste and personality. You can choose from spacious and energetic venues like Taverna Tirona or Ballkan Taverna, cozy and relaxing spots like Pijetore or Charlie Brown, or something in between like Shoki or Baron. Each cafe has its own charm and vibe, but they all contribute to the vibrant atmosphere of this street and you can have a good time at any time of the day. You can have your morning coffee, your afternoon beer, and your evening shots in any order you like - judgment free.

About me I'm an ambitious person on my way to adulthood who loves writing about things that impress me and playing music. I try to keep myself busy and stay active most of the time, so I love taking on or making up projects for myself. My two favourite things in the world are cooking and eating, so you can commonly find me in one of the local fast food shops or my kitchen. I feed on the energy that the city gives off and love going to a quiet place like the park where I can digest it. Why Prishtina I've been breathing Prishtina's air since I was born and I...

Sach Caffé

A daily pitstop

It's the perfect spot to grab a drink; my favorite is the blueberry juice, and to eat a snack. The chicken salad or the Sach Attack burger are really good!

Restaurant Pishat

A delicious encounter

I recommend the “Menu-ja e shtëpisë” or the House Menu. A combination of traditional and non-traditional food comes together in about 10 specialties.

Prishtina's unofficial tour bus

One of my favorite things to do once a week is simply staring out of the window of this bus to enjoy these views from a sort of a “zoomed-out” perspective.

Soliterat Park

Peace and sunsets!

I love going for a walk there to clear my head. It reminds me to enjoy the moment, especially since it's on a hill and therefor offers a perfect view.
