Cafés in Šiška

Celovška cesta

Celovška cesta is Šiška's main road, with a graffiti-covered underpass near Kino Šiška and the Celovška twin towers, the tallest residential towers in Slovenia.³ Šiška grew from a suburb of fields and coaching inns with its own brewing and cooperage trades, and Visit Ljubljana places Slovenia's largest brewery here, with the Union Experience brewery museum.³ Its café-bars sit along the road: Aurora at No. 79, Milenium at No. 103, Kristal bar at No. 104, Coffee Point at No. 119, with tables inside and out, and Chuty's at No. 226.

Koseze: the pond and the Saturday market

Koseški bajer, the Koseze pond, is up to about 200 meters long and two to three meters deep. It formed after a nearby clay pit closed; people fish here and skate in winter, but swimming is not advised.⁴ Kavarna Lokus, at Koseška cesta 20 near the pond, is recommended for coffee or something sweet, and it is open 07:00–00:00 every day.³

Tržnica Koseze, the market at Vodnikova cesta 187, holds a Saturday-morning market with local produce, from Savlje lettuce to goat cheese.³ KUFE and Polo Cafe and Bar share the market's address, and Kavarna Mozaik is on Trg komandanta Staneta. Nearby, St Bartholomew's Church dates from the 13th century and was remodeled by Plečnik in 1933–1936.¹
