Mamma Mia Specialty Coffee & Brunch – specialty coffee, sourdough, and brunch by the waterfront in Vis
Mamma Mia Specialty Coffee & Brunch is one of the newer gastronomic concepts in the town of Vis, located by the waterfront but in a quieter corner away from the main thoroughfare. Rather than a traditional tavern or pizzeria, the focus here is on specialty coffee, brunch, fresh baked goods, matcha, and lighter Mediterranean dishes.
Mamma Mia is particularly well-suited for mornings and the early part of the day – when one desires quality coffee alongside a croissant or sourdough sandwich, a more substantial brunch like shakshuka, or simply something light before heading to the beach.
A significant difference comes from the collaboration with the artisan bakery Kolđeraj. Fresh bread, sourdough, and baked goods are not merely an accompaniment to coffee but an essential part of the entire menu.
Specialty coffee takes centre stage
Coffee here is not an afterthought.
Mamma Mia collaborates with the Split-based specialty roasters Kava2, with careful attention given to the selection of beans and proper extraction. Therefore, this is primarily a good place for espresso, cappuccino, flat white, and other beverages for guests who prioritise coffee quality over the view from the terrace.
The selection of beans may vary, so it is worth asking which coffee is currently being used and what flavour profile it has.
In addition to classic espresso drinks, matcha plays an important role in the offering, further distinguishing Mamma Mia from typical cafés along the Vis waterfront.
Artisan baked goods from Kolđeraj
The bakery section of the menu is backed by the family-run artisan bakery Kolđeraj, which has a long tradition of bread and pastry production.
Sourdough bread is used for various sandwiches and bruschetta, while fresh pastries and other baked goods can be enjoyed with coffee.
This is one of the key details of the entire concept, as brunch does not rely on industrial toast and pre-made pastries, but on bread and dough that are intended to be an equal part of the meal.
Shakshuka, bruschetta, and sourdough sandwiches
The brunch menu goes beyond the usual eggs and croissants.
On offer is shakshuka, a dish of eggs cooked in a warm tomato sauce with spices, as well as various bruschetta and sourdough sandwiches.
Sandwiches are a good choice when one desires a substantial yet not overly heavy meal. Sourdough adds more character than plain white bread, and the fillings are combined with fresh vegetables, cheese, and other seasonal ingredients.
This type of food suits Vis well during the summer – it is filling enough for lunch but without the heaviness of a full restaurant dinner in the middle of the day.
Komiška pita with homemade sauce and anchovies
The local offering is best represented by komiška pita with homemade sauce and anchovies.
Tomato, onion, and salted fish are among the most recognisable flavours of the island of Vis, and here the traditional idea fits into a modern brunch concept.
This is an interesting choice for guests who do not want just international brunch classics but wish to try something directly connected to the island.
Burrata in various forms
Burrata holds a special place on the menu and appears in several combinations.
This creamy cheese pairs well with fresh tomatoes, olive oil, bread, and seasonal vegetables, making such dishes suitable for brunch, a light lunch, or a sharing platter.
At Mamma Mia, these simple combinations make the most sense – quality bread, good cheese, vegetables, and olive oil without unnecessary complications.
Pasta with homemade sauce
Although the emphasis is on brunch, the menu is not limited to sandwiches and breakfast.
Pasta with homemade sauce also features. A simple tomato sauce aligns well with the overall philosophy of the place, where the quality of a few basic ingredients is more important than a large number of components on the plate.
For something lighter, various salads are also available.
Summer sharing platter
For a leisurely lunch or a glass of wine, a good choice is the summer platter with prosciutto, cheese, seasonal fruit, and nuts.
This dish works best for sharing, especially if one does not want a classic lunch. The combination of salty prosciutto and cheese with fresh summer fruit is well-suited to high temperatures and the relaxed character of the terrace.
Matcha, fresh drinks, and cocktails
Alongside specialty coffee, Mamma Mia pays considerable attention to other beverages.
Matcha is available in several varieties, and there are also fresh non-alcoholic drinks. The concept includes a bar section with cocktails, so Mamma Mia is not intended solely as a place for morning coffee.
Nevertheless, it is the specialty coffee and brunch that remain what sets this establishment apart from other venues in the centre of Vis.
A large terrace amidst greenery
The terrace is one of the most pleasant aspects of Mamma Mia.
Instead of a row of tables set directly by the busy waterfront, the space is designed more like a large Mediterranean courtyard. It features plenty of greenery, bright tones, and various seating options – from classic tables to more relaxed lounge areas.
This makes the space work well for both a quick morning coffee and a longer brunch without the feeling of sitting in the middle of the main pedestrian thoroughfare.
Local craftsmen contributed to the decor, so the space does not have the appearance of a generic hotel coffee shop.
A good place for families and a slower start to the day
The spacious terrace, simpler food, and a menu that is not limited to coffee make Mamma Mia practical for families.
Children can enjoy lighter options such as sandwiches, baked goods, and pasta, while adults may opt for shakshuka, burrata, salad, or komiška pita.
This is particularly suitable for days when one does not wish to sit down early in a traditional restaurant but prefers to extend the morning with brunch before heading to the beach or on an outing.
Location and access
Mamma Mia is located in the centre of Vis, along the waterfront of the harbour.
It is accessible on foot from the ferry terminal and the main promenade, making it convenient for guests staying in the centre or for sailors moored in the town harbour.
If arriving by car from another part of the island, it is advisable to use public parking in the wider central area and continue on foot for the last part. In the narrowest part of Vis, a car is generally not the most practical means of transport during the summer.
