Ulica 22 in Skopje – A Cozy Autumn Coffee Under Falling Leaves

Autumn is here, the air is fresh, the leaves are turning golden and all you want is a warm cup of coffee in a cozy place? I have just the spot for you!

Tucked away in Bunjakovec, one of Skopje’s most peaceful neighbourhoods, is Ulica 22. “Ulica” means “street” in Macedonian, and this little café truly feels like your favourite corner of the street, the one you keep coming back to.

The coffee

Let’s start with the most important thing: the coffee. And the coffee here? Really, really good! My favourite is the macchiato. It is the one I order every single time, and it never disappoints. If you are a coffee lover, this is a must-try.

The vibe

The vibe at Ulica 22 is so cozy that you will want to stay for hours. The neighbourhood is calm and quiet, far from the city noise, so you can really rest your eyes and recharge your batteries.

But the real magic happens in autumn. The café is surrounded by small trees. You barely notice them at first, but when autumn comes… the leaves start falling everywhere around you, even on top of you while you sip your coffee. It feels like a scene from a fairytale!

And when the weather gets colder? No need to worry: they have blankets, so you can wrap yourself up and enjoy your coffee outside, even on chilly days.

My tips

  • Go in the morning. That is when I love it most, with my friends and a macchiato to start the day.
  • Expect a crowd on warmer days. It gets really busy when the sun is out, but on colder days it stays calm and just as cozy.
  • Visit in autumn. The falling leaves make it truly spellbinding.
