Where to sit, sip and slow down in Split.
Coffee shops, bakeries with seats and the places Split lingers in over a cortado.
D16 Coffee on Dominisova 16 in Split is the city's specialty coffee anchor, roasting and brewing 100 percent arabica with SCA-standard sourcing since 2017.
Signature drink: Single-origin filter
Order: A V60 filter of the rotating Ethiopian single origin.
Tip: The small back-alley terrace seats around eight; the second location on Trogirska 8 is the work-friendly room.
Lvxor in Split spreads its red-cushioned seats across the stone steps of Peristil, the most photographed cafe terrace inside Diocletian's Palace.
Signature drink: Macchiato on Peristil
Order: An espresso on the Peristil steps at golden hour.
Tip: The Peristil stones double as the seating; pay the (small) premium for the location, not the coffee.
Kava2 in Split is the city outpost of Kava Family roasters from the Adriatic islands, a tight-set room with a wide tasting flight by the cup or filter.
Signature drink: Cortado
Order: Cortado with the rotating roastery single origin.
Tip: The bar seats are best for an espresso; tables are limited and rotate fast.
