The patio, open during the summers, is the perfect atmosphere to enjoy your favorite Bubamara classics.

Cafe Bubamara’s unique atmosphere and design set it apart aesthetically, but its appetizing menu of Balkan favorites made according to traditional recipes is what makes all the difference and sets it apart. While enjoying Cafe Bubamara’s laid back ambiance, try homemade cakes and traditional Balkan cuisine such as burek, popara, uštipci, čevapi, djevrek, crepes and many others. We’re sure these authentic dishes will soon become your favorite meals.

Ex-YU music from the 70s, 80s, and 90s fill the Cafe, taking you to a different time and place while you sit back, relax, and enjoy your drink or meal with friends and family. That is the spirit of Cafe Bubamara, which was created as a place for friends to gather together as a community, celebrate life, and enjoy in our shared love of food.
