Where to find good coffee in Maribor? Four stops for the coffee-curious

On Gosposka ulica, step into Rooster Coffee, where the café is connected to local roastery Tovarna kave. The focus is on carefully selected beans from different origins, which you can discover through espresso, cappuccino, filter coffee or cold brew. Start by asking which coffee is currently available and what they recommend for your taste.

If you like to linger over a morning stop, pair your coffee with a bagel, smoothie bowl or dessert. You can also buy your favourite beans and brewing equipment to take home, making part of Maribor’s coffee experience part of your morning routine.

On Tyrševa ulica, Polek – kava in dobrote (Polek – coffee and treats) awaits with a changing coffee selection. This makes a visit a good opportunity to step away from your usual order. Alongside espresso, they prepare filter coffee and cold brew, with a macchiato topped with coconut foam among the specialities.

Complete your coffee stop with a croissant or bagel. Polek combines a café and wine shop, making it interesting for a group where one person explores coffee origins while another prefers choosing wines.

If a full table is what you enjoy most with your coffee, choose Nana, bistro & kavarna (Nana bistro and café) on Glavni trg (Main Square). The offering brings together coffee, breakfasts and homemade cakes, while certified treats bearing the Naše najboljše (Our Finest) label include Slovenski zajtrk (Slovenian breakfast) and Nanin šmorn (Nana’s shredded pancake).

Plan this coffee stop as part of your morning. First breakfast and conversation, then a walk through the old town. A good choice for days when you want to discover the city without a packed schedule.

For your next stop, head to Belokranjska ulica. Hiša kave in čajev Italcrem (Italcrem House of Coffee and Tea) connects a café, shop and nearby micro-roastery, where beans from different parts of the world are roasted. The offering includes Italcrem Classico house coffee, roasted in the classic Italian style.

The visit will particularly appeal to those interested in the coffee bean’s journey to the cup as well as the drink itself. In the shop, you can choose coffee to prepare at home or a gift for someone who enjoys a good coffee morning just as much as you do.

Choose a café according to what appeals most today: exploring flavours, breakfast in the city or discovering local roasting. Check the opening hours before visiting, then leave enough room for an unplanned detour too. Perhaps your favourite corner of Maribor awaits on the way to your next cup.
