Kafeterija

Kafeterija roasts in Belgrade, Belgrade.

Since 2014 · Zoran Stanojević, Marko Vukomanović

Overview

Kafeterija was founded in 2014 in Belgrade by Zoran Stanojević and Marko Vukomanović as a vertically integrated specialty coffee chain that has since grown to 53 locations across Serbia and Montenegro, including a four-floor flagship inside the former Robna Kuća Beograd — Belgrade's first shopping mall, designed in 1907 by Viktor Azriel. In early 2025, Bulgarian-headquartered BlackPeak Capital announced its first Serbian investment, taking a growth-equity position in Kafeterija to fund expansion across Bulgaria, Romania, and Hungary toward a 150-store target.

Why it matters

Kafeterija is the largest and most institutionally-backed specialty coffee operator in Southeastern Europe and the de facto face of Belgrade's third-wave scene to the millions of customers who pass through its locations annually. While smaller pioneers like Pržionica (now D59B, 2012) opened earlier, Kafeterija is the operator that scaled specialty quality into a chain format across Serbia and Montenegro and turned it into a regional growth story attracting institutional private equity.
