The real star of Vela Placa is undeniably its ice cream. Customers rave about the creamy, decadent flavors, emphasizing that the ice cream is made from all-natural ingredients. One visitor, Martin Smatana, shared that the almond flavor "tastes like eating actual almond," showcasing the cafe's commitment to genuine flavors. Another delighted guest, Ksenia M, noted the friendly staff who encourage you to sample different flavors before making a decision — a perfect way to ensure you find your ideal treat!

Best icecream I had in the island of Krk. Really tastes natural made from real ingredient not lije the most other icecreams sold in Krk island. Tried almonds and it was like eating actual almond. Also had coffee and was very decent and I have high expectations for a coffee. Recconend. Also the atmosphere in the marketplace is very livelly.

A cafe / gelateria during day, an open air bar / mini-disco in the evening. A convenient place right at the old city central square to relax after a walk in the summer heat. The service was not particularly polite, but with neverending tourist crowd, this is understandable. Don't miss their fresh juices menu, there are a few really interesting mixes. Gets too noisy for my taste when they turn the music up. One of the two restrooms was closed when we visited.

Tried their ice cream and it's good. They say it's all natural ingredients but it's a bit pricey. Still I like to get ice cream here.

Very delicious ice cream made out of natural ingredients. Friendly staff and you can try some different tastes before you order your ice cream. High quality waffles and huge portions. Costs overavegare (10 Kunas), but worth it.

Stopped here for coffee on a rainy day. Nice location and the coffee was pretty good. Service was pretty good too. Their ice cream looks amazing but unfortunately not the right weather to try it.
