In New Zagreb for Craft Beer or Belgian Hot Chocolate

Recently, a true little oasis of local craft beers and the most delicious Belgian hot chocolate Callebaut has opened in New Zagreb. The oasis is called Linea Caffe bar and is the third opened location of the same-named café. The first is also located in New Zagreb, while the second is on Strojarska Street. What sets them apart from the mass of other neighborhood cafés is certainly the drink selection that will satisfy even the most demanding palates, as well as the attractive and harmoniously arranged interior.

Driven by the growing popularity of craft beer produced in small artisanal and innovative breweries, the owners have included a wide range of favorite local craft beers in their offer, such as Grička Vještica, Crna Kraljica, San Servola, Fulira, Zmajskog, and many others, while on tap they have Nova runda, a premium local beer from one of the first pioneers of craft brewing in Croatia, whose production is based solely on freshly tapped beer. The great popularity of local craft beers is no surprise, given that craft breweries are responsible for bringing vibrancy, new flavors, and interesting combinations back to the beer market, as well as beautiful aromas, various spices, and scents into beer beverages.

In addition, Linea Caffe bar offers its guests an excellent selection of wines and beautiful herbal teas made from quality organic ingredients, and for all chocolate lovers, there is the indispensable hot drink on cold winter days – irresistible thick hot chocolate Callebaut. The chocolate that the whole world has gone crazy for comes from Belgium, a country world-renowned for its top chocolate creations, and can be found in six tempting flavors: dark, white, milk, and caramel. Additionally, Linea Caffe bar is currently the only place in Croatia where you can find this excellent chocolate, which is often affectionately referred to as the ‘mother of all chocolates’.

The exceptionally original and elegant interior is the work of architect Boška Bahtijarević from the award-winning Studio Arhitektri. The space is dominated by minimalist decor in neutral shades such as gray, brown, and sandy-beige, against which stands a wall painted in one of the most popular colors for interior design this season – spicy mustard, or mustard color. The ambiance and exceptional harmony of the space are enhanced by relaxing lighting, sophisticated design, natural materials used in the decor, particularly wood, and exceptional attention to detail.

The charming new location in New Zagreb is perfect for that first morning coffee, a chill after-work beer with colleagues, or a romantic date for two with a glass of wine. The address is Julija Knifera 4.
