HleBar

The place is cozy, the food is always tasty, and the portions are generous—definitely worth the price. There’s something for everyone, including options for those who are fasting, vegan, or have gluten or lactose intolerances. I recommend it for a quick bite on the go, for enjoying on a nearby bench, or if you’re lucky enough to grab a table.

This is a cool bakery and well curated neighborhood mini market, at which I passed by for some food items and bread. Everything I got was delicious, and I stayed to try one of their savory pastries (I don’t remember the name, it was a wrapped thin bread with cheese and spinach). The service staff was friendly even though they were very busy.

Very nice banitsas, pastries, coffee, and choice groceries. Great cosy atmosphere inside, great playlist. Would recommend sitting at the long communal table by the big windows facing the street. Recommended menu: lamb banitsa, cheese and leek banitsa, the apple strudel banitsa is especially amazing, coffee, various baked goods that changes from day to day.

We went there for the banitsa, coffee and ended up getting a soup. The service is friendly and helpful as we can't read or speak Bulgarian. The cold soups were really favourful and the best of our trip. Coffee was ok. However upon reflection (through eating subsequent banitsa in the city) the banitsa we had here had a dark colour which made us think it was old/stale, it wasn't warm or fresh feeling when we got it. The amotsphere was nice and the mains (pasta and salads) that other people got looked really fresh and delicious, but I wouldn't come here for banitsa.

Beautiful cosy place for breakfast. We got scramble with salmon, banitsa with apple, cinnamon and walnuts. Good oat milk cappuccino as well 🫶

The staff is nice, the food is delicious and has many vegan and vegetarian options, as well as gluten free and sugar free goods. The beverages variety is rich and tasteful. The only downside is that it is a bit pricy but due to the location and organic food, it is reasonable. After all it is a diner-like shop. Would recommend if price isn’t an issue.

Decent local bakery with brunch/lunch menu. Big variety of sweet and salty things. Great coffee. It is quite expensive, a piece of banitza is 5+ BGN now. Also, all of the packed food is bio, variety of bio vegetables and fruits. Early in the morning is good for work there. During warm weather only the pigeons are very annoying and arrogant! Usually the staff is awesome but sometimes they are really really slow.

So happy to see they' ve learned their lesson and have made the necessary changes. My first couple of visits were catastrophic, but that's all in the past. Right now the quality of the food and service is absolutely impeccable. Back on the top of my list for favorite Sunday brunch spot.
