The 7 Best Coffee Shops And Cafes In Kragujevac Serbia

Kragujevac might not have the chaotic cool of Belgrade or the elegant charm of Novi Sad, but there is more to the capital of Šumadija than meets the eye. Serbia’s fourth largest city brings plenty to the table on the coffee front, with many great places situated on Kralja Aleksandra I Karadjordjevica street and around.

1. Kafemat 27

Cafe, Contemporary

Coffee made with love (and beans) in Kragujevac

Kragujevac might not have the intangible cool of Belgrade, but there are a number of establishments that wouldn’t be out of place in Dorćol, Vračar and the rest. Kafemat 27 is one such cafe, a bustling spot that attracts a big crowd all day long. Plenty of coffee variety is on offer, in an enviable location in the belly of Kragujevac.

2. Mademoiselle

Bar, Bistro, Cocktail Bar, Restaurant, Contemporary

While we’re a little reticent to dive in with two feet and say ‘hip, hop and happening’, this hyper-stylish bistro just outside the centre of Kragujevac is more deserving of the term than anywhere else in town. Opened in 2017, this open space comes with wine bottles on the walls, an interesting array of lights and no small amount of beautiful people. It is easy to see why it has become so popular so quickly.

3. Peron

Cafe, Contemporary

Pancakes and coffee in an old tram, whats not to like?

Who doesn’t love a cafe located in an old tram? We’re fully on-board with the gimmick, and the unique setting offers something different to the rest of the cafes in Kragujevac. Peron offers the standard selection of coffees, teas, beers and stronger drinks, but many come here for the excellent pancakes. Well, everyone comes here for the whole ‘coffee on a stationary tram’ thing, but you get the point.

5. Flo Cafe & Bar

Cafe, Bar, Contemporary

We’re pretty sure the name is intended to be the word for something that moves steadily as opposed to a diminutive of the name Florence, but questionable English shouldn’t put you off this place. A popular place with the beautiful people, it is easy to spend entire days sat out on the terrace watching the world go by. A decent spread of hot and cold drinks certainly helps.

6. Caffe Fox

Cafe, Contemporary

Another stylish joint just off Kralja Aleksandra I Karadjordjevića, Fox is a lounge cafe with sophistication to spare. Sit outside with a hot coffee or dangerously refreshing cocktail, or head inside for a game of pool — the choice is yours. You could always combine the two and take your cocktail to the billiard room of course, but don’t blame us for missing those easy pots.

7. Marabu

Cafe, Bar, Cocktail Bar, Contemporary

Every city has a cafe that feels like it truly is in the very heart of the city, and Marabu holds that spot in Kragujevac. This prime location at the head of Lole Ribara and Miloja Pavlovica makes the most of its spot, with plenty of comfortable outdoor seating wrapping around the cafe itself. Cocktails are the name of the day once the sun goes down, replacing the conveyer belt of coffee that is imbibed throughout the day.
