A friend of mine was impressed with the reviews of the tea house on TripAdvisor, and suggested that we should give it a visit. From the way he has described it, I was expecting to see a modern, Starbucks-like café located on the main street. It turned out to be nowhere close to how I've imagined it to be, and it was also tricky to find as the entire city is crammed with narrow, unorganized streets with tricky intersections here and there. However, the little hunt was worthwhile, as we were treated with warm hospitality and great drinks upon arrival:
 |
| Bosanska Kahva served in a džezva, along with candies, sugar cubes, and sweet tea |
 |
| A glass of warm, delicious Salep, which was perfect for the rainy day |

Čajdžinica Džirlo is definitely a place with the most soul in Sarajevo, making it a great start for those who want to get to know the city and the locals better. Books and magazines are readily available for travelers who plan on doing nothing but sipping on good tea and lazing through the day. Salep is a must-try here, even if you have tasted the ones made in Turkey.
