Caffe Tamaris – Coffee, Homemade Desserts and View of Maslinica

Caffe Tamaris is located by the sea in Maslinica, in a quieter part of the coast not far from the town center. It is a family café that has been operating since 1998 and is one of those places where people return for good coffee, a simple atmosphere, and a view over the Maslinica bay.

We often visit Tamaris in the morning, while the place is still calm and the daily crowd is just beginning to form along the coast. The terrace faces the sea, allowing guests to enjoy coffee while watching boats, the marina, and houses on the opposite side of the bay.

Throughout the day, both locals and guests from nearby apartments come here, but Tamaris does not have the atmosphere of a transient tourist spot. The ambiance is relaxed, the service is direct, and the terrace is close enough to the sea to sit for a long time without feeling like you are in the middle of a busy promenade.

Coffee, Drinks and Homemade Desserts

Tamaris is primarily a café bar, so it is most often visited for coffee, cold drinks, or evening cocktails. The menu includes wine, beer, craft beer, soft drinks, and homemade lemonades, which are particularly refreshing during hot summer days.

One of the things that sets Tamaris apart from an ordinary café is its homemade desserts. The selection may vary, so do not expect every cake or sweet treat to be available every day. It is best to ask what has been prepared that day.

This is not a restaurant with a large menu and traditional lunch offerings. Tamaris is a better choice for breakfast with coffee, a sweet treat during the day, an aperitif before dinner, or a drink after a walk in Maslinica.

Atmosphere During the Day

In the morning, Tamaris is pleasant for the first coffee, especially before the arrival of daily visitors and a larger number of boats. Later, the terrace fills with guests returning from the beach or stopping by during a walk along the coast.

In the evening, the atmosphere becomes livelier, but it generally remains calmer than in establishments located in the very center of the harbor. The view of the bay is particularly beautiful when the lights on the boats and houses along the coast begin to illuminate.

Tamaris is not a beach bar with loud music or a place for nightlife. It is more suitable for those who want to have a normal conversation, enjoy a good drink, and sit by the sea for a while.

Location and View

The café is located on the coast of Maslinica, close enough to the center to be easily reached on foot. A car is not necessary from most parts of the town.

The terrace offers a view over the bay, with moored boats and the Maslinica coastline. Although Maslinica has several places known for sunset views, Tamaris is particularly pleasant due to its view within the harbor and the quieter rhythm of the coast.

The location is also practical for guests who arrive in Maslinica by boat. The marina and mooring can be reached with a short walk without the need for a taxi or other transportation.

Arrival and Parking

The easiest way to reach Caffe Tamaris is on foot from the center of Maslinica. The coastal part of the town is not large, so the café can easily be included in a walk along the promenade, a visit to the marina, or a trip to the western beaches.

There is no large separate parking area next to the café. During the peak season, available spots along the coast and local streets may be occupied.

It is more practical to leave the car in a permitted area in the wider Maslinica area and walk the last part. Do not park in front of private entrances, on narrow parts of the road, or in spaces needed for residents to pass.

Opening Hours and Season

Tamaris is most active during the tourist season. In the summer months, it operates from the morning hours, when people come for coffee, until the evening when cocktails, wine, and other drinks are most frequently ordered.

Opening hours may vary depending on the part of the season, weather, and number of guests. In spring and autumn, it is best to check before visiting, especially if you are coming to Maslinica specifically to visit the café.

Who Will Enjoy Caffe Tamaris

Tamaris is a good choice for guests looking for:

  • quality morning coffee by the sea
  • homemade dessert or lemonade
  • a quiet terrace with a view of the bay
  • a cocktail or wine in the evening
  • a relaxed family café
  • a place close to the center but away from the largest crowds

It may be less suitable for those looking for a large restaurant, an all-day menu, or loud evening entertainment.

It is best experienced as a place for a break during the day. In the morning for coffee, in the afternoon for homemade lemonade or dessert, and in the evening for a glass of wine or a cocktail. This simplicity and location by the sea are the reasons why people return to Tamaris during every stay in Maslinica.
