    Very rude female waitresses. They ignored me several times even though they saw me waive my hand to let them know I wanted to order until a male waiter saw me and came to take my order. I came in a sunny Sundy afternoon, and the place was packed full. I ordered flat white and sparkling water. The flat white was average. Nothing special.

    Hi everyone, Today I visited this coffee shop in the wish of having a great time and some cold beverages. Sadly, I had a terrible disappointment. The waitress was really rude and scary. She brought an ice coffee without ice. The Hugo I ordered (which is my favourite drink btw) tasted like soap and this made me really sad. Me and my friends did not have a good time. Greatly disappointed:(

    This place is Big and spacious has a nice terrace facing the main square, inside the upper floor is a restaurant dedicated for tapas and wine bar called Sol, you must reserve before to come in… the place gets busy and loud at night. Coffee is very good. Service was polite you can pay with card or cash. Toilets need attention were dirty

    Terrible. We ordered some drinks, they brought it and they wanted us to pay directly. No problem, but when we asked to pay by card it was not possible, because “we should have said that before”, instead of him asking it by himself before. Also I had a beer which was not cold at all. No problem, could happen, but instead of bringing me a cold one right away, he was stating it was actually cold. After that he gave me a beer which was clearly much colder, without giving me a look or making any kind of apologies.

    This place man.. wauw. The food is amazing, the interior is awesome and the service is stellar. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and this is where you want to have it. Omelettes, croissants, toasts and delicious coffee. In the evening this place transforms into a night club.. my judgement would be that it’s pretty classy in those times.

    2,5 points not more. Coffee and Martinis were fine. However is dry Martini without an olive a real Martini?? Not even a one single piece of cake in da house. Service terribly slow when ordering, serving or paying. To wait for a waiter almost one hour to pay, that’s a bit long. He didn’t even come to ask if we want anything else or not…

    One female waitress in particular was very rude and not welcoming at all! Very blunt and refused to help when we asked for chairs. The place is nice but the staff not quite, think about it if you want to come here.

    This is supposed to be Lynchburg lemonade cocktail, in reality just ton of squeezed lemon, you can't feel any alcohol, nor sprite nor sugar. Pretty expensive lemonade juice for 55 kn. Staff is also not really friendly.

    Great spot to stop and spend an afternoon watching the crowds go by. We had coffee and pastries first, followed by wine and cheese later. Top notch service and great recommendations from our waiter.

  • 5/5 Rajko K. 4 years ago on Google
    Ok, where to start? With amazing service, or superb tuna fillet covered in sesame? Or maybe bonelles smoked chicken leg and thighs? Perhaps, we should start with superb beef tartare? Noup. For me, the absolute star was Beef Fillet. I was do happy, i almost cried. Srsly. Its that good. Overall, it was an exquisite dinner, which was not even that expensive! Would highly recommend.

    Bunch of unfriendly lazy waiters, I could be waving a flag for the to come, without success, but when walked up to them, they answer annoyed : "someone will come soon"... I'd rather order scraps from rats on the corner. Never visit again. Aaand ofcourse cash only. Trash. Waiters are literally hanging out and chilling at bar not caring about service. Fire them all and hire new crew, maybe it helps.

    (Translated by Google) My stomach hurt when I saw it. They jumped from head to toe as if they were adults, and as they manage to smuggle in drooling kids. Maybe it would take a little more control. Or do you offer Čokolino as well. (Original) Zabolio me trbuh kad sam to vidio.Skockane od glave do pete kao da su odrasle,a kako se uspiju unutra prošvercati balave klinke.Možda bi trebalo malo više kontrole.Ili nudite i Čokolino.

    (Translated by Google) I came and sat inside near the bar and 3 or 4 of them passed me as if they didn't see me. And so I waited for them for about 15 minutes until I stopped them and asked if I could order. Terribly unkind ... (Original) Došao sam i sjeo unutra blizu šanka a njih 3 ili 4 su pored mene prolazili kao da me ne vide. I tako sam ja njih čekao 15ak minuta sve dok ih nisam zaustavio i pitao dali mogu naručiti. Strašno neljubazni...

    Johann Franck is an upscale cafe situated right on the main square below the cathedral. Having a very nice view coupled with a plethora of food choices and drinks, make it a nice quick stop for brunch or lunch. In the evenings, live music can be heard inside roomy and vaulted space, emitting a comfortable and energetic vibe. The prices are higher than average, but that is typical for any cafe/restaurant on the square. I recommend to any tourist or anyone seeking a nice quick bite to eat surrounded in a lavishly metro atmosphere.

    Beautiful garden overlooking the square in the city center. We waited 10 minutes for waiter to come to take the order. I even called one, but he didn't respond. They should go around the tables in the first row more offten and see who is coming and going. Payment is by cash or card. Caffee should renovate the toilet because it is really a shame for a bar like this to have such a toilet.

  • 5/5 Diana Z. 5 years ago on Google • 165 reviews
    Nice designed location in the center of Zagreb. You can have also something to eat (the menu is not offering a lot, but the food is tasty). It has got a big terrace with a nice view over the square. Prices are not very low but I think they are worthy.

  • 4/5 Nadi W. 1 year ago on Google • 87 reviews
    I like the Johann Franck Café a lot, because I think it's very classy. Located right on the famous Ban Jelačić Square, it's the perfect spot for spending a little time, enjoy some food and drinks and watch the people walk by. We went there twice: One time we had some snacks during the day and the other time we enjoyed some cocktails. Everything was fine, and we liked the cocktails a lot. Only the staff seemed a bit inattentive.😉

    Great food at Sol & tapas bar. My personal bests fish tartar & pasticada gnocchi but I thinh everyone can find something for them selfs. Good thing is they have vege meni as an option as well 👌

  • 5/5 Calista J. 5 months ago on Google • 5 reviews
    I personally love this place, especially when at night it turns into a club. Nice interior, decent prices and nice bathrooms. The staff is usually okay, but I had one experience with a waitress where I asked for a bottle of water but she completely forgot about me, thou it was very crowded that night. But I never had a bad time here. It's a fun and chill place.

  • 3/5 Esteban B. 2 years ago on Google
    The place is nice and the waiters were fast and polite, but on Saturday morning, Oct 9, 2021, at 10.30h we ordered a small breakfast and they asked us to pay as soon they bring us the coffee and croissants. I don’t think that a place like this should treat costumers like that. I am local and I brought an international friend and I did’t feel confortable with that.

  • 4/5 Vinuta D. 2 years ago on Google
    We saw this place as we were passing by and decided to go in for a coffee. We had cold coffee and lemonade. To be honest lemonade was too sour and it was getting very difficult with every sip😕 nice staff, great view and comfortable seating.

  • 2/5 Ádám M. 8 months ago on Google
    The waiter was rude by the core and not welcoming whatsoever. The coffee was mediocre at best, and the waiter, right after serving me and my mates was handing us the receipt, as if he was trying to get rid of us, and also assuming that we would have fled without paying. The only positive feedback I could think of right now is that the service was quick at least. Would not recommend.

  • 5/5 Review C. 2 years ago on Google
    It’s a great chill place for breakfast and coffee. We had the little burgers and a cappuccino and an americano ☕️ totally recommend

  • 4/5 Alex P. 2 years ago on Google
    Very modern and aesthetic place to go and get a drink, the staff is very prepared in English and is friendly, so enjoy

  • 5/5 Alexandra P. 2 years ago on Google
    We had lunch here. It is a bit pricier than some of the other restaurants we've seen, but the food was very good. The drinks were however overpriced in my opinion, especially the water bottles. A small still water is about 2.10 euro which I find too much.

  • 3/5 Paola Maria Moquete de B. 1 year ago on Google
    Considering that this cafe is located in such a centric area of the city, you would expect to have excellent service and attention. Not only the bar servers were distracted but also the place looked somehow unclean. The drink I had was a Virgin Mojito and honestly the size of the glass was very disappointing. I am hesitant if it's worth giving it another chance.

  • 1/5 E M. 1 year ago on Google
    Server said their wifi connection was acting weak. This was not helpful as full menu could only be accessed via QR code. When ordering our drinks the server said the card machine was not working and therefore we could only pay by cash. When a Heineken beer arrived it was not full to the top. After having one drink, the server said we had to pay because someone was coming to inspect her. Receipt was in kuna. When we asked to pay by euro the conversion she made was not accurate. When we paid in euro, our change was in kuna.

  • 5/5 Marko L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place to spend at least 4 hours. Tapases tasted beyond immagination, prepared by my favourite Croatian chef. I recommend waiter choice for both meal and wine. If needed to pick one meal, "Skradin risotto" was my favourite.

  • 5/5 S. M. 1 year ago on Google
    Felt very comfortable at this place 💯 Everything was great The waiter ILIA was amazing if I remember his name correct 🙈 sorry buddy if I don't. The 🍽 and the 🍷 and the view 😍 ✨️ 👌 from the window were so amazing that we came to there twice. 😍

  • 1/5 Nana 3 years ago on Google
    Unfortunately I wasn't able to try food so I can judge only the service. I was waiting for any waiter to come to me and show the table to take a seat but no one really cared. Finally when I saw waitress I politely asked for a table for one person. With an annoyed expression she just told me that I can take a table which I like. Okay. So i chose myself the one in the very visible spot. After that I was waiting to get a menu. My limit of patience was 15 minutes and then I left very dissatisfied. Such a terrible and ignoring service.

  • 4/5 Reen R. 5 years ago on Google
    Got an omelette with mushrooms and toast with cheese. One of the better breakfast I've had here in Zagreb. Plenty of room and nice interior (receipt for the 'holograms' with Adidas shoes and dollar signs, that's quite misplaced). The music playing in the daytime was a bit weird; old school hip hop and electronics. But it worked for me.

  • 5/5 Lukáš M. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Excellent cafe in the city center with a surprisingly high quality wine list. Probably a meetpoint of the local youth, half of the guests didn't even have 18, but who would mind :) (Original) Výborná kavárna v centru města s překvapivě kvalitní nabídkou vín.
