what is the best place to purchase ground coffee?

I am not sure what you mean by ground.. but if you are asking where to go for a coffee in ljubljana I would say Cacao (real center, near Preseren square). On the corner of congress square there is Zvezda coffee place. And near municipity you can find Vigo. This are by my opinion the best coffee places in Ljubljana (but the prices are a little bit higher).

If this did not answer your question, define it a little bit more.

basically what i mean is bean coffee the ones sold in bags since i am used to purchasing at starbucks i was wondering what is similar there
