The best pastry shops Ljubljana

Behind Yauya is simply Laura, the local pastry chef who spent her summers in France and Italy, dreaming of one day opening her own little café with accents from both countries. A warm atmosphere, right down to the pastel-colored tableware. Unique pastry creations that can be enjoyed to take away or on the premises, with a behind-the-scenes view of the production process. Daily offering of home-made croissants, cookies, panettone slices, pralines and seasonal drinks. Editor's favorite!

Located in the arcades of the Plečnik market across from the baroque St. Nicholas Cathedral, this small restaurant offers delicious štruklji, the Slovenian rolls with sweet or savory fillings. Served in portions of two, more than twenty flavors are offered as well as other traditional dishes such as jota, a cabbage-based soup, and ričet. In order to enjoy the atmosphere of the market, prioritize your visit on Saturday noon on the terrace. Be careful, however, to take advantage of this good plan: only a few seats are available inside.

A little corner of paradise for all lovers of good French pastry. This is where Tomi Češek makes the best bread in Ljubljana and offers a tempting display of monodesserts, macarons, chocolates, gourmet eclairs with a mirror-like coating and daily pastries with a flaky, crisp pastry to match. It's simple, you want to take everything to go. The store is out of the way, but such bakery know-how in Slovenia is rare enough to justify the trip. Don't miss the Tornado: a croissant in a cylinder filled with caramel.
