About

A popular ice cream cafe located by the Ljubljanica river, known for its vegan fruit sorbets, raw vegan cakes, and creamy chocolate raspberry gelato. The venue provides indoor and outdoor seating with river views and a selection of coffees, healthy bowls, and vegan-friendly drinks with plant-based milks. While prices tend to be on the higher side, visitors appreciate the friendly staff and the variety of dessert choices, although some note limited vegan creaminess and occasional ingredient mislabeling.
