The Best Coffee Shops and Cafés in Brcko, Bosnia
Brcko, a tiny autonomous region in northeast Bosnia, sits along the River Sava with Croatia to the north. Few outsiders make it to this small town with the title of ‘Europe’s only “free” city’, and those who do find travel challenging due to the lack of English and tourist infrastructure. So, if you find yourself in Bosnia’s most off-the-beaten-path destination, check out one of the following cafés in Brcko.
Caffe Corso
Cafe, Pastries, Dessert, Coffee
Locals fill the coffee shop from the moment it opens until closing time to talk and socialise with their friends. And you’ll feel like you’re far away from the tourist-centric cafés in Sarajevo or Mostar. Bar snacks and a selection of pastries are available with the drinks.
Coffee Shop Brcko
Cafe, Dessert, Coffee
If you’re looking for a quiet place to enjoy a morning coffee in Brcko and to later dance away the night, check out Coffee Shop Brcko. Friends and families fill the seats, sipping one of the several types of high-quality Bosnian coffee, soft drinks or fresh juice.
A selection of snacks and homemade cakes are also on the menu. One of the other highlights is the strong Wi-Fi connection, making it a perfect place to spend an hour to reconnect with the world. Weekends host live DJs attracting the younger revellers for a night of fun. The nightlife isn’t as active as in Sarajevo or Banja Luka, but it still makes a good night out.
Caffe Boa
Cafe, Dessert, Coffee
Caffe Boa has a special interior design that’s worth a drink or two to see. Some say it’s similar to an old English-style pub full of curious knickknacks. Others feel Central European elegance.

Expect to see lots of families in this kid-friendly Brcko café too.
