This is our local. We love going there because the owner (we call her the smiling lady) is always smiling regardless of the day she is having. A rarity in this town :)
On offer are all sorts of drinks (great coffee) and healthy breakfast (nothing cooked). At night its a very cool bar with a fire place and books on shelves, comfy chairs and a chill vibe.

Sightseeing
This is a must do on your trip to Dubrovnik. The best time is early in the morning or later in the evening while it’s still light but cool. The views are stunning and the aspect the walk gives you of the Old Town is priceless. There is a cafe/bar along the way for drinks and snacks, but we recommend you take a bottle of water. Depending on your fitness level, you can walk the entire route or come off the wall earlier.
The best value is to be had if you buy the Dubrovnik Card for 1 day as that gives you entry to the walls, a couple of museums and free public transport for the day.
