If you find yourself wandering the charming streets of Bol, Croatia, don’t miss the chance to unwind at Barka, a delightful café that effortlessly captures the essence of this beautiful coastal town. Nestled at a prime location with stunning views across the marina, Barka is not just a café; it’s an experience waiting to be savored.

As you step into Barka, you’ll be greeted by a laid-back atmosphere that perfectly complements the surrounding natural beauty. The terrace beckons, offering a lovely spot to enjoy your morning coffee or sip on a refreshing afternoon drink while soaking in the enchanting sights and sounds of the Adriatic Sea. Many visitors have noted the lovely views as a highlight, making it the perfect backdrop for moments of relaxation and connection.

According to customer experiences, Barka strikes a balance between quality service and fair pricing, although it is good to keep in mind that the café operates on a cash-only basis. This quirky detail, while occasionally surprising to guests, does not significantly detract from the overall charm of the place. Customer Tom Pocock enthusiastically shared, “A great place for an afternoon/evening drink or a morning coffee.” His enthusiasm reflects the varied times of the day when Barka shines the brightest.

While some visitors, like Agustina Rosario Elias, noted the need for clearer communication regarding the cash-only policy, many others emphasize the overall pleasant experience. The atmosphere remains inviting, as locals and tourists alike find solace in its warm embrace, often returning for repeat visits. The café has also earned praise for its attentive service, with staff consistently working to ensure guests feel satisfied and cared for.

However, it's worth mentioning some feedback regarding dishware quality. A repeat visitor expressed disappointment over receiving drinks in broken dishes. Although it’s rare to encounter these issues, it highlights an area for improvement that Barka could address to enhance the customer experience further.

In summary, Barka offers more than just drinks; it delivers an ambiance filled with comfort, friendliness, and scenic beauty. So, whether you're tipping back a cup of locally brewed coffee or enjoying a delightful cocktail as the sun sets over the marina, Barka promises a moment of bliss in your day.

We stopped here 3 times during our stay in Bol. A great place for an afternoon/evening drink, or a morning coffee. Lovely views across the marina. Attentive service and reasonably priced. It is cash only which isn’t a problem as lots of places are in Croatia.

Conveniently located and fair prices. Service is not the best necessarily… also We found out it was cash only when it was time to pay, would be helpful to say so beforehand.

I really like to relax here. Come and sit on the terrace, local menu, all drinks are available. But I come for the second time and they bring me a drink in broken dishes. I was silent a couple of times. On the third I made a remark, on the fourth, when they brought the same glass again, they replied that there were only 4 of them in stock. It is unacceptable for an institution to have such dishes. It spoils the whole impression

Cafe didn't really have a sign; hope I'm reviewing the correct place. Nice laid back coffee looking out to the sea in the sunshine, a lovely atmosphere. The waiter was constantly seeing to people. Clean toilet.

I saw only drinks. But it's wonderful to sit here in the shade and drink coffee while waiting for the ferry. It's really nice in the harbor and fun to watch people passing by.

Came a few nights over our week in Bol, for a drink or two. Great location. Staff have been available when we needed them. Great for people watching
