If you're out and about in Ohrid then stop by here. Just does coffee and tea, but very high quality. It serves the local population primarily, but you the tourist are always welcome. I'd have a quick brew here any day.

A cozy café serving black tea and coffee. I loved its simplicity and relaxed atmosphere. You'll mostly find local neighbors there—mainly men. This place became my cozy corner for reflecting on historic moments in my life and in my country during my summer travels. I’ll always remember this café for the hours I spent sitting there, following the news. Black tea: 30 Macedonian denars.

Very good espresso, cappuccino drinks. The service is fantastic, second time I came back they asked if I wanted an espresso like I had the day before, same each other visit. Really enjoyable place to watch pedestrians and cyclist pass by. Most tables look like locals visiting.

Nice black tea at an atmospheric, humble local shop. Many locals meet up here. The tea was less than 1 USD. Staff spoke a little English, but we made it work

Excellent place to get a Turkish chai, relax and watch the world go by. Also be amazed by the waiters delivering to-go orders on traditional trays while riding a bicycle and not spilling a drop!
