This is where the highly sophisticated Rab almond tart(Rabskatorta) is made. Its origins date back to the 18th^century ,to Venetian times, and it was created by the Benedictine nuns. In 1996, the Vilma family, as did baker Božo Sokolić, continued to perpetuate the tradition of this very special cake. Since then, the rabskatorta recipe has become so popular that there are now two of the family's pastry shops in Rab-town, one in Zagreb and one in Rijeka. Other cakes, shortbread and typical island specialties are also sold.

In the historic city, you will find some quality souvenir shops, especially on Biskupa Draga, Skaline fra., A. Testena and Srednja ulica streets. A flourishing business, the boutique, which has several points of sale on the island, offers a wide choice of regional gourmet products: honeys, fruit pastes, cakes, the famous rabskatorta (Rab pie with almonds, olive oils, truffle condiments, cheeses, cold cuts, liqueurs, wines, but also natural cosmetics, essential oils, etc.)

Opened in 2016, the Cacao café-bar-terrace covers 350 m². Divided into three distinct areas, it has established itself on the waterfront as one of the city's finest ice-cream parlors. It serves homemade cakes, chocolates, pralines and artisanal ice creams. Behind a glass wall, visitors can watch the pastry being prepared.

The venue also offers café grand cru, tea and herbal teas, as well as cocktails, rated wines, local beers, cold drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.

This new-generation ice cream parlour has established itself in Croatia, on the Adriatic coast and especially in the seaside resorts of Istria. The points of sale are always carefully decorated, but the main thing is the quality of the artisanal ice creams and sorbets, which are made with 100% natural ingredients, fresh milk without GMOs, seasonal fruit, dried fruit and 70% dark chocolate. There's plenty of choice on the menu, including lactose-free, gluten-free and less sweetened ice creams. More expensive than elsewhere, but worth a try.
