Espresso: common questions

What is Espresso?

Italian-style coffee in modern cafes. It is listed in the TasteBridge Bosnia and Herzegovina guide as a coffee.

How much does Espresso cost in Bosnia and Herzegovina?

Expect the budget band: usually under US$8. Prices move with the city and the venue, so treat this as a planning figure rather than a fixed menu price.

Is Espresso vegetarian?

Espresso is not tagged vegetarian in our data, because the tag is aimed at dishes rather than drinks. A plain black coffee, tea or fruit drink usually contains nothing animal-based, but milk, cream, honey, egg white or a pre-mixed powder can change that, so ask what goes in the cup.

Where can I try Espresso?

Our index lists it across Bosnia and Herzegovina, so it is not tied to one address. Ask locally which version is served at breakfast, lunch or late evening, because the same name can cover different presentations.
