SUPPORTING LOCAL ARTISTS, ARTISANS, & DESIGNERS SINCE 2016

KAWA is proud to work with small batch designers, artists, and artisans to tell the story of Croatia through locally made or designed products.

The shop is located in a converted garage just outside Ploce Gate, a few minutes walk from the center of Dubrovnik's Old Town. We look forward to welcoming you!

COGITO COFFEE / CO-WORKING SPACE

Cogito Coffee is now available at KAWA. Drop by for your favourite cup of coffee to go! Or grab a chair and enjoy our comfy seating area and co-working space (with the best view in town;). Once you finish your work, reward yourself with a Croatian craft beer or wine.

BOUTIQUE ACCOMMODATION

KAWA has partnered with The Byron Dubrovnik to offer accommodation for creative workshops, retreats, and digital nomads.

The Byron offers simple luxury accommodation in an amazing location. 7 modern en-suite rooms spread out over 350m2 on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors of an UNESCO world heritage building, centrally located in one of Dubrovnik's oldest quarters. Each room offers landmark views and will keep you comfortable and delighted no matter what time of year you visit (i.e. air conditioning for the summer and cosy underfloor heating for the cooler months).

If you are planning a visit to Dubrovnik, The Byron has some great itinerary ideas, restaurant recommendations, and local tips & tricks.
