Gault&Millau's review 2026

Regardless of the pastry trends arriving from all over the world - French, Italian, Austrian, Hungarian, Oriental and many others - the good old kremšnita (custard slice) remains the most sought-after cake in Croatia. And the very best of them can be found in Samobor, at the pastry shop U prolazu. Many people from Zagreb don’t mind driving about 30 kilometers just to sweeten their day. The kremšnita from this pastry shop - light, airy, filled with plenty of cream and topped with crisp puff pastry - is truly a long-kept sweet secret of the owner, Branka Žganjer, who shares the recipe only with her pastry chef Ivančica Vitko. Another pastry chef, Snježana Frklić, is the master behind their other specialties, which change seasonally. In summer, the focus shifts to fruit desserts. Cakes with fresh strawberries, berries, or peaches are often a better choice during the warmer months than creamy cakes. During Carnival season (Fašnik), the entire main square of Samobor smells of their doughnuts. Their Hazelnut Slices and Cheese Cubes are also highly recommended. U prolazu is located in the pedestrian zone in the historic part of town. Besides its interior styled like an early 20th-century café, it features a large terrace on the main town square. When it gets crowded, service can be slower, but there is always the option to take your favorite desserts home.
