You can build a sweet visit to Maribor around three different stops: Ilich in the city centre, Pohorska kavarna (Pohorje Café) below Pohorje and plant-based Cukrdoza. This selection offers suggestions for different tastes and routes around the city, so there is no need to visit them all on the same day.
1. Ilich: a sweet stop on Slovenska ulica
You will find Ilich patisserie and café at Slovenska ulica 6. Visit Maribor features its house-made pastries and homemade ice cream.
The location is convenient for a break while exploring the old town. Instead of treating dessert only as the end of lunch, you can make it a visit in its own right.
Look at the day’s selection and choose what really appeals to you. If you are with others, try different desserts and compare your impressions.
2. Pohorska kavarna (Pohorje Café): a slice in a different part of the city
Pohorska kavarna (Pohorje Café) is at Ob ribniku 1, at the foot of Pohorje. Its featured desserts include pohorska rezina (Pohorje cake).
You can combine this stop with a visit to the area below Pohorje. Your sweet map then extends beyond the city centre into a different setting.
When planning, distinguish between pohorska rezina (Pohorje cake) and pohorska omleta (Pohorje omelette). These are different desserts, so check with the provider for the particular one you want to try.
3. Cukrdoza: a plant-based approach to cake
Cukrdoza at Ulica Štravhovih 23 offers plant-based cakes, snacks and drinks.
This is a suggestion for visitors looking for plant-based options and anyone who wants to try a different approach to dessert. It can also be an interesting choice for a group with different dietary habits.
If you have allergies, check the individual cake before ordering. Plant-based ingredients alone do not tell you whether it contains gluten or nuts.
Plan your sweet outing to suit you
These three stops are suggestions for different occasions. Choose one according to your route and taste, and leave another for your next visit.
This makes it easier to remember the dessert, the place and the reason you would return.
