Beskid Desserts – modern desserts, ice cream and specialty coffee in Maslinica

Beskid Desserts is located by the sea in Maslinica, along the coastal road west of the main promenade. This new establishment distinguishes itself from the traditional island patisserie with its modern desserts, carefully crafted coffee, and an interior that resembles a small urban dessert bar rather than a typical ice cream kiosk.

We would stop by here when, after swimming or strolling through Maslinica, we fancy something sweet, but a bit different from the usual scoop of ice cream. The seaside location is particularly pleasant in the evening when the sun is less intense and more people are passing along the coast towards Punta beach or returning to the promenade.

Cakes, ice cream and baked goods

The main reason to visit Beskid Desserts is for the cakes and desserts. The selection is designed with a modern twist, featuring neatly arranged confections, combinations of various creams, fruits, chocolates, and crunchy toppings.

In addition to individual desserts, there are also baked goods and ice cream available. The selection may change from day to day, so it is not guaranteed that every dessert will always be available. For this reason, it is best to first check the display case and ask what has been freshly prepared that day.

Beskid also offers custom cake creation for birthdays, weddings, and other celebrations. The design and flavours are agreed upon in advance, so this is not a service to leave until the last minute.

Specialty coffee and matcha

Beskid is not just a patisserie but also a place for quality coffee. They offer specialty coffee, which will be particularly appreciated by guests who care about the quality of their espresso or milk-based drinks.

Alongside classic coffee varieties, there are also more modern drinks, with matcha standing out in particular. This is not a common offering in smaller island locations, thus Beskid fills a niche between a traditional café and a contemporary dessert bar.

The best combination is to enjoy a dessert and coffee while seated by the sea, especially in the morning or later in the afternoon. During the peak summer heat, cold drinks and ice cream are more refreshing.

Atmosphere by the sea

The venue is situated on the waterfront but slightly away from the busiest part of the Maslinica promenade. This allows for a quieter break without the feeling of sitting in the middle of a thoroughfare to the harbour and restaurants.

The atmosphere is relaxed, yet visually more polished than in a typical island patisserie. It is a suitable spot for morning coffee, a sweet break after lunch, or dessert following an evening stroll.

It is liveliest during the summer months when Maslinica fills up with guests from nearby apartments and sailors. Since the space is smaller, it may be necessary to wait for a free table during the busiest parts of the day.

How to reach Beskid Desserts

Beskid Desserts is located at Obala braće Marchi 37, along the coastal area of Maslinica. It is just a few minutes' walk from the main harbour and the centre of the village, making a car unnecessary.

Guests staying in Maslinica will find it easiest to walk along the sea towards the western side of the village and Punta beach. The establishment is located along the route frequently taken to the bathing areas, making it easy to incorporate into a daily walk.

It is also accessible to guests arriving by boat, as it is a short walk from the moorings in Maslinica harbour.

Parking

Beskid Desserts does not have a large private parking area adjacent to the venue. The streets along the coast are narrow, and during July and August, finding free spaces can be challenging.

The most practical option is to leave the car in a permitted area in the wider vicinity of Maslinica and continue on foot. Guests already staying in the village will not need a car to get there.

It is important not to park directly by the coast if the vehicle obstructs passage, access to a house, or entry to other establishments.

Opening hours and seasonal offerings

Beskid Desserts is primarily a seasonal venue, aligned with the summer rhythm of Maslinica. Opening hours may vary depending on the month, weather, and number of guests, so it is advisable to check before visiting outside the main season.

It should also be noted that the selection of cakes and ice cream changes. The most popular desserts may sell out later in the day, which is why it is better to arrive earlier for a wider choice.

For a cake or larger order, it is necessary to contact them in advance to arrange the size, flavours, appearance, and collection time.

Who will enjoy Beskid Desserts

Beskid Desserts will particularly appeal to guests seeking higher-quality cakes, specialty coffee, matcha, and a more modern approach to desserts.

It is a good choice for couples, families with children, and anyone wanting ice cream or dessert by the sea after swimming. It is also suitable for guests looking for a cake for a celebration during their stay in Šolta.

It may be less appealing to those expecting a traditional Dalmatian tavern or a large restaurant with a full menu. This is a place for coffee, dessert, ice cream, and a brief respite, and this is its greatest advantage.

Beskid is an interesting addition to the hospitality offerings in Maslinica as it provides something that is still not commonly found on the islands – a blend of contemporary desserts, specialty coffee, and a location right by the sea.
