Art Caffè

North Macedonia


This modern 'Made in Bitola' brand has three cafes around town, seducing patrons with cakes, croissants, coffee and delicious sweet and savoury local pastries. Everything is baked in-house and it's a lovely spot for breakfast; try the out-of-this-world kolač, a sweet flaky pastry layered with curd, raisins, apple, poppy seeds and walnuts. The nicest branch is this one, opposite the clock tower park.
