R&B Café Roasters

Roasting runs weekly here, and the name explains the priorities: at R&B Café Roasters the letters stand for Roaster and Barista, the two jobs this Ljubljana room puts at the front. Single origins from several growing regions move through the roaster, and the counter turns them into espresso drinks alongside a brunch board of bowls, pancakes, toasts and pastries. The house also carries a 2025 Pražar leta title, Roaster of the Year.

Coffee signatures worth the walk

The espresso list is long and classical, running from ristretto, espresso, lungo and americano through cortado, macchiato, cappuccino, latte, flat white, white coffee, latte macchiato and iced latte. Composed drinks are where the bar gets playful, with espresso tonic, apple pie latte and cinnamon butterscotch, plus coffee cocktails for later in the day. Pastries round out the counter for anyone who wants something small beside the cup. Tea, kombucha, lemonade, juices and soft drinks cover the non-coffee side, but roasted coffee is the throughline.

Bowls, pancakes and sandwiches made daily

Food goes well beyond a pastry case. Yogurt and fruit bowls lead, including homemade Greek yogurt with seasonal fruit and a Greek Bowl of Greek yogurt, granola, banana, Slovenian honey and seasonal fruit. The acai berry bowl blends granola, almond milk, acai, banana, mixed berries, seasonal fruit, almonds and pomegranate, while a peanut butter and chocolate bowl is built on French Monbana cocoa, almond milk, banana and chocolate chips. American pancakes arrive with fresh fruit and maple syrup, and there is house-made mango chia pudding and a Sunshine Bowl. Sandwiches are made daily in small quantities, and vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free items are marked on the menu.

Order the espresso tonic, then decide how hungry you are

Espresso tonic is the clearest first order, the drink that shows what the weekly roast does cold. Sweeter appetites should turn to the apple pie latte or the cinnamon butterscotch, while a classic route stays with ristretto, cortado, flat white or macchiato. If hunger decides instead, the bowls are the brunch centre: Greek yogurt with Slovenian honey and fruit, acai with almond milk and pomegranate, or pancakes with maple syrup. For savoury, the toasts run avocado, Caprese, cheese, and ham and cheese. The room itself is set up for relaxing or working over a long coffee, which is why a brunch board and a roastery counter sit together without friction. It is a daytime coffee-and-brunch room built on weekly roasting and a roaster-barista identity.
