Kavarna Zvezda

Ljubljana


Perhaps the best 'olde worlde’ cafe in Ljubljana is the 'Star', with an entrance off both Kongresni trg and Wolfova ulica. It has all the usual varieties of tea and coffee (just about the strongest in town), but is celebrated for its house-made cakes, particularly its skutina pečena (€4), a baked eggy cheesecake.
