Locals recommend
"When we say, 'Let's go for coffee!' it doesn't mean we're going to have a black, bitter, caffeinated drink originating from Ethiopia, which has successfully (even more so than the British) colonized the whole world. No. What we mean is, 'Let's go somewhere and sit for hours while ordering some (non-alcoholic) drink.''
Katarina is an anthropologist who loves exploring other cultures and lifestyles. Although Ljubljana is not her favorite city in the world, she has grown fond of its many excellent cafes and compiled them in an article.
