Cafes in Budva: Five Coffee Stops, from Rozino to the Old Town

The five cafes at a glance

Akacia Coffee Budva runs its own roastery alongside the cafe on Blaža Jovanovića in Rozino, serving espresso, filter and cold brew with all-day breakfast. Casper Bar, listed as Casper Bar & Coffee Roastery, sits in the Old Town (Stari grad) and does espresso and pour-over before turning into a Bar.

CUPS Coffeeshop and More Coffee both sit in central Budva, the first on 13. jula street with single-origin filter, cold brew and Belgian waffles, the second with pour-over, decaf, plant milks, breakfast, Wi-Fi and outdoor seats. Oliva coffee is out in Podkošljun on Maslinski put, with espresso, filter, breakfast and vegan dishes plus Wi-Fi. If you want the wider list of what to see between stops, the Budva attractions hub groups the town's visitor guides in one place.

Two of the five run past coffee into proper food, with all-day breakfast at Akacia and waffles at CUPS, and one changes character entirely in the evening. None of the five is a place to settle for a whole afternoon.

Akacia Coffee Budva in Rozino

Akacia is the pick if you want to taste the coffee rather than just drink it: the same site roasts and serves, with espresso, filter and cold brew on offer. All-day breakfast makes it workable at either end of a morning, and the listing notes that pastries go half price after 19:00. Treat that as the cafe's stated offer and confirm it at the counter rather than planning an evening around it.

Its position in Rozino puts it outside the tight Old Town lanes, so it suits a stop before or after a walk rather than a pause mid-sightseeing. Blaža Jovanovića is the street to look for. The one check-current-details note for this article applies here as anywhere: posted times and offers change, so read them on arrival.

Casper Bar in the Old Town

Casper Bar is the only one of the five inside the walls, which makes it the natural stop when your morning is built around the Old Town itself. The listing gives espresso and pour-over from 10:00, then Bar service until 01:00 or 02:00, so the same room covers a mid-morning coffee and a late drink. Those are the listing's stated times rather than a guarantee.

If you are working out how the Old Town fits together, with its gates, squares and the circuit of the Venetian walls, the old town guide sets out the layout before you go. It helps to know which side of the walls you will end up on when the coffee is finished.

CUPS Coffeeshop on 13. jula street

CUPS is the central stop for filter coffee drinkers, with single-origin filter and cold brew, and the Belgian waffles give it a reason beyond the cup. It sits on 13. jula street, so it slots easily into a walk through the middle of town. The trade-off is that central Budva is where you feel the day's crowds most.

A Budva map helps here, because 13. jula street sits in the grid behind the waterfront rather than in the walled lanes. Knowing that saves a wrong turn if you are coming from the Old Town on foot.

More Coffee in central Budva

More Coffee is the most flexible of the central pair: pour-over, decaf and plant milks, breakfast, Wi-Fi and outdoor seats. That combination suits a group where one person wants a proper filter coffee and another wants a milky drink, and the outdoor seats are the reason to pick it on a mild morning.

If coffee is only the start of the day, Budva's food and cafe loop pairs bread, market fruit, coffee and a simple fish lunch with shaded terrace pauses. It is a fuller eating plan rather than a coffee list, so read it when you want lunch sorted as well.

Oliva coffee in Podkošljun

Oliva coffee, on Maslinski put in Podkošljun, serves espresso and filter with breakfast and vegan dishes, and has Wi-Fi. It is the strongest choice for anyone eating plant-based, since it is the only one of the five the listing names vegan dishes for. Being out in Podkošljun makes it a stop to combine with that side of town rather than a detour from the walls.

Because it sits away from the centre, treat Oliva as a deliberate destination rather than something you pass. Check the route before setting out, and keep it as the single coffee stop of that walk.

Pairing a coffee with a Budva walk

The practical rule is one or two stops, not five. Take Casper Bar if the Old Town is your morning, CUPS or More Coffee if you are crossing the centre, Akacia if you are near Rozino, and Oliva if Podkošljun is already on the plan. Matching the cafe to the walk is what keeps a coffee stop from becoming a taxi ride across town.

Beyond the walls, Budva's waterfront and the squares behind it give you a natural loop between stops, and the wider things to do guide covers what else fills the day. A boat tour or a viewpoint can sit either side of a coffee without either being rushed.

For a sit-down meal rather than a coffee and a plate, the best restaurants in Budva covers fuller eating, including places inside the walls. It is worth reading before you commit your main meal to a cafe table.

Which Budva cafe suits your day?

Pick by where you already are and what you want from the stop: Casper Bar for the Old Town, CUPS or More Coffee for central Budva, Akacia for roasted-in-house coffee and all-day breakfast in Rozino, Oliva for vegan plates in Podkošljun. Two stops in a day is plenty, and one is often enough.

Search the street name first (Blaža Jovanovića, 13. jula, Maslinski put), confirm the times on the door, and build the walk around the cafe rather than the other way round.
