Coffee and Croatia very much go hand in hand.
When you spend a lot of time in this beautiful country you will soon realize that everything is done at coffee shops and that ranges from having a quick coffee, chilling, smoking, getting drunk, doing business, romancing, and much, much more. Needless to say, there are a lot of options...especially coffee places in Novalja.
So, let’s explore some of our favourite local Novalja coffee places…
Gaudino
Pretty much the most popular traditional coffee places in Novalja. This cafe has been here for years and you will find everyone from the festival owners all the way through to the local pussy cats having a drink of some type here.
Super cheap and as local as it gets! Gaudino’s is a must!
Plac
Plac is located right in Novalja’s bustling main square. It has a smart indoor bar area but an even better outside terrace where you can meet and have a coffee with friends.
Not only do they offer a great menu of hot and cold drinks but their food kitchen is open from breakfast through to dinner as well!
Again, another big hit with the locals.
La Beluga (CURRENTLY CLOSED DUE TO PORT CONSTRUCTION)
This is another fantastic bar and coffee place in Novalja with stunning views over the harbor and sunset.
La Beluga is run by the nicest and most professional of bar staff who make you feel right at home every time you visit!
They have an excellent coffee choice and also serving the very best in high-quality brands so if you want excellence then definitely put this on your "must-visit when in Novalja" list.
Valis
Who likes cake, sorry...who LOVES cake! We do!
Valis cafe is the absolute Don of mouth watering Croatian cakes and coffees in Novalja.
They are also located in Novalja main square and have a huge selection of the most beautiful cakes for you to choose from whilst having your daily caffeine hit!
So, if you have a big sweet tooth, head on down to Valis Cafe, you will more than likely already see us in there!
News Cafe Novalja
Another huge popular haunt of the locals! News Cafe is next to the main square in the center of town.
This popular coffee place in Novalja is open all year round and always seems to be one of the busiest places in town with both locals and tourists.
It is perfect for coffee with friends, an important meeting of simply a caffeine fix!
This place is never quiet morning, noon or night, that in itself speaks volumes!
