We were seated at the patio in the back. It was a nice area. I ordered the veal sorrentino and enjoyed it.

My brother enjoyed his stuffed cabbage, but said that all the different pierogies were quite bland. The rest of the group had chicken alfredo and were satisfied by it.

They also have beautiful garden seating. I ordered Turkish coffee, fresh grapefruit juice, Gurmanski dorucak, mini burek with spinach and cheese, and fruit cake. I love Turkish coffee and this was very good. The juice was tart and delicious. The breakfast platter was a showstopper. Two fried eggs, tomato, feta, two meat patties, and homemade bread. The flavors of the meat blew my mind. Who knew that Croatians make the most delicious burgers. This is a hearty and fantastic dish. Also, the burek was flaky and light and not very mini. I took home the cake and enjoyed it later. Light, delicate and not overly sweet, this was a star. Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, you should stop in for any meal. Not cheap, but you get what you pay for and you get a lot of bang for your buck. I can't wait to r

Cafe Bubamara delivers a warm, attentive dining experience with service that feels both welcoming…read moreand well-organized. Seating is first-come, first-served, and guests are placed based on availability, which keeps things fair and efficient even during busy times. The tables for two are intimate and cozy, perfect for conversation, though they can become a bit tight when ordering several dishes at once. That said, the staff was attentive and checked in often enough to clear plates and make room, which made the experience much more comfortable. The dessert menu is separate, allowing guests to enjoy their meal at an unhurried pace before deciding on something sweet. Their beverage offerings are thoughtfully presented. Herbal tea options include green tea, chamomile, and English tea (Stash), and the tea is served in a container that provides two full servings. The cappuccino is well made and served with a sugar crystal stick, adding a distinct old-world charm that enhances the café's European feel. I regret not asking for an additional order of Turkish coffee so that's a regret . What we ordered: * Greek Salad - $18.50 * Cappuccino - $6.80 * Herbal Tea - $6.00 * Uštipci - $17.25 * Musaka - $22.95 * Šnicla (Cutlet Sandwich) - $20.75 * 2 Diet Cokes - $8.00 The musaka is a baked dish and does take about 25 minutes to prepare, as it's made fresh with baked eggs, seasoned beef, and sliced potatoes layered on top. The wait is well worth it, resulting in a hearty, comforting dish that tastes authentically homemade. The Šnicla (cutlet sandwich) arrived beautifully presented on a wooden board, adding a rustic, elevated touch that matched the restaurant's aesthetic. Mom felt it lacked in seasoning but she Didnt leave any crumbs . The Uštipci were a standout--served with feta and honey, generously portioned, and so plentiful that we happily took some home. We were too full for dessert this time, but it's absolutely on the list for a return visit. Due to winter weather, we couldn't explore the back of the restaurant, but even from the main dining area, the decor is undeniably charming and full of character. Overall, Cafe Bubamara offers authentic flavors, generous portions, attentive service, and a cozy, old-world atmosphere that makes it a place worth revisiting.

The cocktails are amazing and very clever, you will take alot of pictures for Instagram. The food is just above average, but you really are there for the decor and drinks! We went during Halloween 2025 and had an amazing time. Special thanks to the staff who served us at the bar while waiting for our table. Ambiance: 5/5. Although a little small, it's more cozy than crowded. There are decorations wall to wall (and ceilings) during the holidays. The bar is not really meant for kids but they will enjoy the spectacle as much as adults. Drinks: 5/5. Each drink is creative, well mixed, and STRONG. Worth the higher price tag for the artistry. Food: 4/5. Good but not amazing. Solid brunch options and portion sizes, and solid for the price. Service: 4.5/5. Attentive, polite and efficient despite the large crowds coming into this place.

When we were a couple weeks out, all the spots I had earmarked were booked. So I scrambled.

Sveta was a great call as its definity memorable. Us 2 couples walked in for our reservation and us guys felt a little funny. It was a million pink flowers everywhere.

Drinks were delicious and the wine was very good. We enjoyed the appetizers, especially the nachos and the Caesar salad was tasty. Service was fairly slow, which was disappointing because by the time we got our entrees there was no time for dessert. Now to the entrées, the black cod was delicious as was the cheesesteak. Two of us ordered the papparadelle al Limone and we added Burrata to it. The pasta was made in house and was made well, but the Burrata on top was so cooked that it was like rubber and the pasta was in a watery butter sauce that had zero flavor. If we weren't out of time and needed to get to the show, we definitely would've sent it back. It was that bland. I can't remember the last time I sent anything back, but this would've been one of those times. I would go back to the restaurant because I like the vibe but you would have to do a lot of convincing for me to ever order that entrée again. I was torn between giving it four stars or three. If you had a 3 1/2 that's what I would've done.

However when we moved indoors, we got serviced quickly! Got a medium well burger (with bacon added).

Overall a decent experience and I'd return to explore more of their menu.

From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with kindness and warmth by the owner, a lovely Montenegrin-Albanian woman who runs this restaurant with genuine pride and heart. You can feel her touch in everything, from the cozy lighting to the soft music playing in the background. The food was absolutely phenomenal. Every bite was layered with flavor, balance, and soul. You can tell this is real Mediterranean cuisine, made by someone who truly loves what she does. The staff was attentive and friendly, the atmosphere was calm and comforting, and everything about the evening felt genuine. This is more than a restaurant. It's a place built on tradition, care, and love. Likseva and I will absolutely be coming back soon to visit the owner again and enjoy another beautiful dinner together. As a Marine Corps Colonel who has traveled and dined all over the world, I can say that Cafe Latte is a place that stands out in every way.

It was my favorite part of the meal and that dish was absolutely cleared. The sauce reminded me of butter chicken and the lemon was so juicy, the perfect splash of acidity to the prawn. Hamachi crudo was unique tasting with the green mango, tamarind, and curry oil. The peri peri chicken was very moist, most of the flavor is coming from the buttermilk ranch and peri peri sauce though, so I like that they included sauce on the side! I also loved the chicken nugget that came with the dish more than peri peri chicken itself. Hope they do chicken nuggets with their ranch and peri peri sauce as an appetizer some day. Braised oxtail gratin was a wee bit spicy and tingly, but well seasoned. The crispy cheddar polenta and onions were my favorite part of that dish. Blood orange cheesecake was good as well, just a wee bit pricey based on the size of the slice. Will be ordering two grilled prawns the next time I'm here :) Service - all the staff were very patient and courteous, we were seated at the bar and I would say this is more spacious than most of the tables in the dining area. The staff are really busy here so I appreciate them taking the time to check in with us when clearing our plates. A few patrons walked in without reservations and were disgruntled with the bar seating, but the staff were super professional and patient about it. Ambience is warm, most people were dressed smart casual.

I have to get back to try a few more dishes - and I'm truly looking forward to it. The cheesecake and the Burnt Honey & Apple desserts completed our meal. That cheesecake was my personal favorite
