I first went to this place 38 years ago, as a high school student. Turkish coffee was 1 dinar, music was mostly domestic r'n'r, the owner would let you sit there forewer... 2019. Still one of the most comfortable, relaxing places to sit on šiljtet (heavy, thick, embroidered pillow), have your (now) bosnian coffee, dip sugar cubes in fildžan and have your rahatlokum at the end as a prize. music now is relaxing, low volume bosnian sevdalinka so you can sit and talk... there are tables outside and since this is Bosnia everything is 'smoking allowed' perfect, affordable place

Tasty, cheap and traditional Bosnian coffee situated down the historical coppersmith road. A tiny little cafe where you can smoke inside and chill.

This place is amazing! Such a rustic atmosphere, and beautiful decorations! The Bosnian coffee is amazing. It is very rich in flavour, and definitely one of the best places to get a Bosnian coffee.
