Awesome shop in Dubrovnik full of Croatian designs and very interesting products. Fantastic and really helpful staff. My experience with them has been really great. I bought a keyholder that had a small damage on the ring (but I realized it only when I was back home). I contacted them and kindly provided a replacement to my personal address. This goes beyond what I could expect from the typical "souvenir shops" abroad. Their staff really treated me (even being a foreign tourist) as if I would come back to the shop tomorrow. This makes a difference and I appreciated it. I will for sure visit this shop again when I will come back to Dubrovnik.

Horrible service!!!!! Went in to buy some food and was told of for trying to use the toilet which was “out of order” for customers but wide open with no sign of do not enter. Have never received such horrible service in all of old town Dubrovnik or even Europe! Being told off and horrible rudeness for simply trying to use the bathroom (of which door was wide open with no sign) is simply unacceptable for a store/coffee service which lives off tourism and the service industry. The store is cool but honestly don’t spend your money in a place where they don’t appreciate clients!

What a beautiful little shop just outside the old town, definately worth a visit. I love Dubrovnik but it has well and truly been overtaken by tourist shops and restaurants selling the same things. This shop is very different, it sells a host of unique items made by Crotians. Everything from food, drinks, alcohol, clothes, Jewellery and household items. The prices are high but everything seems well made and very unique. The staff were very friendly and chatted away with us and it definately felt like more of a personal feel.

It’s a good thing this store isn’t near me or it would be a problem. It’s full of treasures you didn’t know you needed but do! A great selection of local food treats along with American food (pop tarts, Mrs butterworth) that are the things you miss when you don’t live in the US. They have cute bags, beautiful wallets, and a great jewelry selection. I loved the cat bracelets and necklaces that benefit a cat welfare group. ❤️‍⬛ I could shop here daily and find a new treasure! Definitely visit if you’re in Dubrovnik.

If you're looking for your special caffeine bit this is your place. The owners cooperate with a well established coffee bar from Zagreb Cogito. The atmosphere is cool because it's basically a souvenir shop with Croatian products which also has amazing coffee. The only reason why I am giving a 4 star review instead of 5 is that I like to sit and enjoy my coffee and there's not much seating place in the bar. There's a table which fits 6 people and that's it.

  • Sarah Ovink

It took me so long to decide what to get for myself, friends and family because they have so much cool stuff! I made three visits total to pick up earrings, tea towels, and local wine. I was sorely tempted by many more things, like the very cool sunglasses, art prints, and liquor sold in stainless steel flasks. Everything is made in Croatia and there are often stories behind the items. Do yourself a favor and check them out!

  • Mahlet Yared

This was the best place on our Dubrovnik trip! Leona is the sweetest soul and she has magical energy! She was so kind and showed us all the beautiful pieces made by local artists in the store and she also makes incredible coffee!!! Highly highly recommend this place! Will definitely be back when I return! Incredible vibes!!!

Best place in town to get gifts and souvenirs. The owners curate amazing locally crafted goods, so you can feel good about supporting local Croatian artists. They also have a great selection of North American snacks and ethnic food supplies in the back room if you’re missing a taste of your home country!

  • John Hingley

Love it! Original and creative gifts and souvenirs. This is a really well done shop. We got such a warm welcome when we walked in with our little pup, the quality and selection is really good and authentic & creative and it was just a really cool spot to pick up some great gifts for our friends.

Sjajna kreativna trgovina sa izborom svega, od suvenira do sunčanih naočala. Oduševila me i prije dvije godine, a sad kad sam se vratila mogu reći da su samo još bolji. Zadržala sam se i predugo, a naravno nakon šetnje i vratila u kupovinu. Najtoplija preporuka zaviriti unutra.

  • Tim S

Good authentic stuff here! Also some local beers and food products (lots of olive oil and truffle themed things). Prices are fair too. There's also an international food section in the back - this is great if you're staying a while and are missing some food variety.

  • Theresa Brymer

Beautiful Croatian made crafts. Wish I had an endless budget- I would've bought some of everything in the store! Super fun to taste their award winning olive oil. We walked out with some beautiful, unique souvenirs and a few Croatian IPA beers to sip. Delicious!

  • Sven Nähler

I visited this small shop with at least 20 of my coworkers, and we all wanted coffee. Leona managed to serve us all, and she did it with a smile. The coffee was excellent, and I especially appreciated that they offer oat milk as an option. Highly recommend!

  • Jared Larson

If you are looking for some unique local craft beer, there is a small selection of different beers. They also have lots of unique things you dont see in all the other touristy shops. The lady working that evening was very friendly and helpful.

  • Izzy F

A gorgeous selection of locally made gifts, souvenirs and crafts. Really friendly and welcoming and I loved that I got to know the back story about the items that I bought, who made them and why they're special. Very much recommend a visit!

  • Kadi Mõttus

Such a lovely concept store! ❤️ Definitely a (litte bit hidden) gem! Loved the selection of local goods that are suitable as souvenirs - teas, shirts, oils, truffles, bowties, shirts etc. The customer service was also really good.

  • Hiromi O.Claassen

Lovely concept store! Not like other ordinary souvenir shop, you can find good quality and unique gift to yourself and your loved ones. Also as a coffee lover, I can highly recommend you to try “cold brew” in hot summer days :)

  • Vera Vuković

The best coffee in Dubrovnik, and a fantastic range of unique and beautiful gifts, a far cry from the usual mass-produced tourist tat. Leona at the shop was great, also gave us excellent local restaurant recommendations!

  • Nadezhda Nedkova

Quality, quality, quality. Applicable to every aspect of the store - selection, service, personal attention. It’s a must-visit if you’re looking for a special gift or memory to bring back home from Dubrovnik.

  • Desmond Johnson

Highlight of our trip to Dubrovnik! Amazing art from local products, great coffee, and Leona is the best kind of person that you could talk with for hours

This is an adorable shop. I had read about it and I'm so glad I was able to visit. My husband enjoyed it too and we got a bunch of Croatian handmade goodies, MUCH better than standard souvenir shops!

  • Mafer Reyes

I recently visited with a big group of colleagues, and the service was great! Leona handled our orders with ease and was so friendly. We all had delicious coffee! The shop was lovely as well.

  • Dominika Nosková

A gorgeous concept store with a very eclectic selection of Croatian products. Great for getting thoughtful souvenirs or to treat yourself. They also do coffee.

  • Mia Hayat

Such an amazing store! Bought some of the best local Croatian products from here. And the staff working here were very kind and knowledgeable.

  • Jason Spero (speroman)

Great locally-made crafts. Best way to shop local in Dubrovnik and support local merchants. John hooked me up with killer local beer too.

  • Nastia Dębowska

Good coffee, they have plant based milk. €5,5 for a flat white (same as in Conto coffee roasters and they both use same beans).

  • Carlo Alberto

Many international products available. For locals who want to prepare new dishes or homesick foreigners who miss their food.

  • Mark LoGiurato

A very nice souvenir shop with many eclectic items ranging from craft beers to handmade goods. Many unique items as well.

  • Natalia Hotanen

Lovely shop, lots of cool cosmetics, clothes and food products made in Croatia. Helpful and nice staff.

  • Johanna Kollar

Superb curation of local artisan wares. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff, too.
