surcharge for cow's milk😈

this café sells vegan treats only and uses plant milk by default, cow's milk costs 0,90€ extra.
i tried some savoury pastries and was happy with the spinach swirl. the sweet items looked nice as well. it's not very expensive and you get tap water for free.

the café itself is extremely cute and there's a big table for people working at their laptops. dogs are allowed. not accessible because of stairs.

Pros: mostly vegan, cute place, no surcharge for plant milk but for cow's milk, fair prices, free tap water, 🐶✅

Cons: ⛔️♿ because of stairs

Great Cafe

Very cute vegan cafe in Zagreb. Hot drinks come with the plant-based milk of your choice. If you steal a baby cows milk it costs extra (love it). We also had the banana bread with chocolate which was great.

Friendly plant based cafe

Nice place with great plant milk choices. Small number of vegan pastry choices but homemade and tasty. We didn’t even have the coffee (matcha latte for me and chai latte for my wife) but enjoyed the experience of relaxing and people watching very much. There is also a garden in the back.

Pros: good location , lots of indoor and outdoor seating , friendly staff

First Croissant in months!

The first time I tried matcha with ginger and cashew milk!
Very cute and the price is amazing! Big big big recommendation!
The staff was super friendly. I love that they Charge for every kind of milk (even cow milk). Never felt so comfortable. I also love the fact that they make their milk themselves and you can see the ingredients in jars. They also got three kinds of Coffee beans :)

Pros: They charge for cow milk too (50 cent), 5 Types of matchas

I love the extra charge for animal milk

Popped in for breakfast with my son. I had an Americano with oat. They give you plenty of oat milk and of course no vegan tax, no extra charge for it. I had the chocolate filled croissant. I think it was a plain croissant with a type of chocolate cream piped in. It was very nice. My son had this too, his friend had the last slice of chocolate banana cake. I've read they tend to sell out of cakes and pastry's we called at 11am.
Pleasant, friendly staff. Overall a very pleasant experience nice ambience and only 30 degrees so Cool enough to sit outside. I'll upload photos of most of the menu.

Cosy café & no charge for vegan milk

The café is placed in the pedestrian zone - so sitting outside in the sun is a great opportunity to enjoy Zagreb. The coffee was great and the staff was very nice. As a big plus, vegan milk is not charged extra - but dairy milk is, thank you, that is honestly an amazing idea.

Agradável Café no centro de Zagreb

O café que tomei (foto) estava muito bom e o ambiente realmente ajuda - tanto as mesas externas ou internas sāo bastante convidativas para uma pausa nas andanças pelo centro de Zagreb.

No domingo em que visitei o Café estava bastante concorrido.

Pros: Ambiente agradável, Café saboroso

Interesting homemade plant milks

Good calm location. They offer several homemade plant drinks and showcase exactly what they put into each one.
I had the cashew coconut drink with my Flat White - definitely tasted different from commercial plant milks! I would’ve wished to taste more of the coconut though. Their coffee is tasty.
Staff is super friendly and open to give suggestions.

All Vegan

The croissants are popular so they tend to run out early. Offers a few other baked goods (banana bread, apple galette) and coffee.

Lindo lugar, rico café

Vale la pena darse una vuelta por un café y un postre.

Todo es básicamente vegano, pero se puede pedir leche de vaca pagando un extra.

Pros: Rico, Lindo sitio, Es casi vegano

Delicious homemade plant based milk

We went to this place for breakfast but unfortunately the bakery they are working with is currently on annual leave so they didn’t have the filled croissant I was craving for. So in the end, we only went for a drink.
A nice cappuccino and iced latte. All their 3 plant based milks are homemade and I loved the fact that if you’d like “cow” milk, the additional fee was this time on that specific option.
The coffees were good but would need to come back to grade them again including their food section.

Croissants

Kaffee mit Hafermilch war super. Die Croissants großartig, hatte eins gefüllt mit Vanille & Cococash und mir leere für die Weiterreise mitgenommen, die waren auch am übernächsten Tag noch gut.

Almost fully vegan café with self made plant based milk options

Cute café with a nice little outdoor area. Both my cappuccino and croissant were very delicious. The staff is friendly as well.

The café is basically vegan, apart from a cow milk option for your coffee. However, they have an extra charge for ordering the cow milk, which is pretty nice.

All in all a great place, I will definitely come back when I’ll be in Zagreb again!

Pros: Self-made plant based milk options, Very tasty

Almost all vegan, with a passion for alternative milks

Filteraj has a large outdoor seating area in a very central location of Zagreb, 2 minutes from the central square.
If you are passionate about either coffee, homemade quality alternative milks or vegan croissants and cake this is a place for you.
Thankfully they also have a lovely Harissa Blueberry Roisboss tea!
I had a very well proportioned croissant filled with coconut cream they also do savoury salad croissants which is a great idea.
They do milk as an option for those who don't care and they charge extra for it!! Nice!
I'll be back.

I came back (22/5/25) this time in time to get some cake! The daytime service is equally friendly and informative and the banana choc cake is seriously good, the brownie is good too though a bit different which I appreciate but when consumed alongside the banana cake it didn’t stand a chance!
Whilst sipping my coffee I read an interesting article in the Standart mag -that lies about the place - about coffee and straightedge, boy am I becoming hip!
Good stuff!

Best vegan café in Zagreb

The best vegan café in Zagreb! I really like the idea to upcharge cow's milk instead of plant-based milk. The prices are very good and the staff was super friendly. We had a Latte and the Matcha White Choco Cake. Very tasty, we'll be back! ☕️🍰

Pros: Good prices, Very delicious, Friendly staff
