01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Located in the heart of Bjelovar at Ul. Petra Preradovića 9, Caffe Bar Arteria stands out as a welcoming oasis for coffee lovers and casual visitors alike. This charming café seamlessly blends a relaxed ambiance with attentive, friendly service, creating an inviting refuge where you can truly unwind.

One of the first things that strikes you about Arteria is the genuine warmth of its staff. As Mihaela Megloba notes, the team is "vrlo nasmijano i ljubazno" (very smiley and kind), making every visit feel personal and refreshing. The café’s offerings cater well to those seeking a simple yet satisfying treat—whether it’s a perfectly brewed coffee or a delightful scoop of ice cream. Mihaela shares how their ice cream scoops are generous, and thoughtfully priced at 1.20 € each, ensuring good value without compromising portion sizes.

Customers repeatedly appreciate the calm and pleasant environment. Annie blah21 highlights it as "jedino pristojno mjesto za otići na kavicu" (the only decent place to go for coffee in Bjelovar), praising the absence of noise, overcrowding, and cigarette smoke—a true haven for those wanting to relax and chat over a cup of coffee or a refreshing summer ice cream. It's clear that whether you're there for a quick caffeine fix or an afternoon respite with friends, Arteria provides a thoughtfully comfortable setting that feels like both a local hotspot and a quiet retreat.

The professionalism and consistency of service have also earned loyal visitors like Branko Borčić, who describes the café as “vrlo profesionalnim i ljubaznim” (very professional and kind) and appreciates its reasonable prices. It’s exactly the kind of place where people from Bjelovar—and even visitors from cities like Zagreb—can enjoy quality drinks and good conversation well into the evening hours.

While most reviews celebrate the quality and atmosphere, some guests like Lorena Kireta have encountered minor mix-ups, such as receiving a coffee with whipped cream instead of the expected hot chocolate. This small hiccup, however, doesn’t seem to detract from the overall positive impression, as it reflects a personal touch and room for the café to fine-tune its offerings.

In sum, Caffe Bar Arteria is more than just a café—it’s an experience of friendly hospitality combined with a refreshing, comfortable environment that invites you to savor both your drink and your time. Whether you are a local or just passing through Bjelovar, letting yourself linger here offers a genuine taste of the town’s warm, welcoming spirit.

Osoblje je vrlo nasmijano i ljubazno. Mi smo uzeli sladoled i dobili kugle koje smo jedva pojeli, no to mi je i ok s obzirom da je kugla 1,20 €, što automatski i opravdava cijenu. Zasigurno ću biti češći gost.

Veoma ugodno mjesto u strogom centru Bjelovara s vrlo profesionalnim i ljubaznim osobljem gdje smo nas petero iz Zagreba u večernjim satima popili piće i porazgovarali. Cijene veoma korektne i kako sam već nekoliko puta bio tu svakako preporučam.

Jedino pristojno mjesto za otici na kavicu (ljeti i na sladoled) u Bjelovaru u bilo koje doba dana. Nema pretjerane guzve, buke, nema gusenja od dima, bas onako predivno i ugodno mjesto za otici i opustiti se s kolegicom na kavici.

Prekrasno mjesto u centru grada Bjelovara za popiti piće ili ispiti kavu...sve se vidi na Korzo zbog staklenih stijena...ugođaj predivan, muzika izvrsna...plaćanje narudžbi ne može se postići i na jednostavniji način...karticama, zato dajem čistu 10 - tku. Sanja Prka
