Our story

A pastry shop on the street that leads to the square

Karlobag is a small coastal village at the foot of Velebit, facing the island of Pag. It fills up in summer; for the rest of the year a few hundred people live there.

Slastičarna Plavi 9 stands on Ulica Ivana Vrbana, a narrow street one row of houses back from the seafront, running up towards the main square. It is not on the promenade and it does not look out over the sea. It is a shop on a street, not a terrace with a view.

The sea on one side, Velebit on the other

The village sits between the water and the mountain. That sets both the season and the rhythm of the day.

A day that runs for seventeen hours

The door opens at 7 in the morning and closes at midnight, every day. In the morning it is a place for coffee and burek, in the afternoon for ice cream, and in the evening for a cup or a slice of cake after a walk.

There is table service, and there is a terrace. How many tables are outside and until when depends on the day, so this page does not claim a number.

What you will not find on this page

No founding year, no story about generations, no use of the word tradition. Different accounts circulate, none of them from the shop itself, so nothing is stated here.

No prices, no flavour list, no ratings taken from the internet, no reviews written by other people. And no photographs of this shop: every photograph on this website is licensed stock imagery showing product categories, not this business.

What is written here was verified on 6 August 2026 from public sources, above all the shop's own Google Business Profile.

The list of photographs and photographers is on the Photographs page.

The best plan is simply to turn up

Open every day from 7 until midnight. Cash.
