Cafes in Bratislava Old Town
There are many specialty cafes in Bratislava appearing in the oldtown area because of the influence of the existing cafe culture of the nearby city of Vienna. After the end of the communist era, the people’s renewed passion for quality coffee in Slovakia spawned a wave of upscale, modernist, classic, and friendly cafes in Bratislava. The coffee shops, nowadays, are where youngsters go for meet-ups or to have delicious desserts like croissants and cakes, as well as local food in Bratislava.
