Caffe bar Franz sits quietly on Gjure Čanića Street, just a stone’s throw from a local park in Zagreb’s 10000 postal area. This spot isn’t about specialty coffee trends but rather about offering a straightforward, warm café experience that feels particularly tied to its neighborhood.

The terrace at Franz catches the morning sun, making it a pleasant choice on cool but sunny days. It’s a place where locals seem to appreciate starting their morning with a well-made espresso or a comforting coffee with milk while savoring slower moments outside. The seating includes a notably cozy couch inside, which adds to the relaxed vibe and invites lingering beyond a quick caffeine stop.

Guests often mention the consistent kindness and attentiveness of the staff. The service goes beyond the usual – from clear communication about wait times to adjusting the lighting for a comfortable atmosphere as the afternoon moves on. This attentiveness helps balance the casual, no-fuss character of the café and gives it a welcoming feel that can outshine places with more elaborate coffee programs.

While Franz doesn’t focus on specialty brews, it stands out for its friendly approach and neighborhood feel, making it a spot for familiar faces and relaxed visits rather than coffee connoisseurs chasing single-origin beans. It’s also a good place to enjoy a simple pint of pivo, rounding out options beyond coffee.

Visitors looking for a cozy, no-pressure environment where the vibe is friendly and service reliable will find Franz well suited to quiet mornings or laid-back afternoons. The nearby park enhances its appeal for those who like combining a bit of green space with a coffee break.

Cozy coffe place next to a park. The terrace has some moring sun so it’s great during cold, but sunny mornings. The staff is nice.

Not a cafe with a specialty coffee, but with the best service. The atmosphere and staff were so good that even cafes with higher quality coffee are worse than this. If they would start serving specialty coffee, they would immediately be the best in town.

Really incredibly cozy place (especially the couch!), the service was beyond helpful and friendly. When we ordered a tost, they made sure to tell us the waiting time and later, when they dimmed the lights approached us to make sure it wasn't too dark. Really, wonderful service. The tost was really delicious and SO worth ordering! The music was just right to set a nice mood and the prices are regular prices, so really affordable. Cannot recommend it highly enough!

Laid back cafe next to one of Zagreb's best parks offering refreshments on a better level than standard bars in the area. Superb, shady terrace.

First time customer. I met my friend here for a Coffee, Made me feel comfortable, relaxed and a pleasant atmosphere. Also which for me is the real indicator, the WC was very clean. I will go again.

Franz is one of that local places where neighborhood folks and people from all around are often visiting because of good coffee, great atmosphere and friendly / professional stuff. Small,cozy and good looking interior, big outside terrace are definitely a plus when choosing where to go. Also vicinity of sports terrain children park and big open space for walking and playing with pets. Parking space is also available. Big variety of soft drinks, coffees and alcohol beverages makes this place a popular spot among young visitors. So if you find yourself in the neighborhood check it out yourself and enjoy. You will. I promise!!.
