Mīkla
A pastry-led bakery café known for fresh sourdough, croissants, buns and specialty coffee. A good daytime stop for a relaxed breakfast or coffee date; expect a contemporary café atmosphere rather than a formal dinner setting.
Better Bread
Pick two pastries and a coffee and split them. A good stop for couples where one of you avoids gluten.
Kūkotava
A cosy cake house with homemade cakes and pastries; drop in together for something sweet before or after an evening walk.
Mulberry
Pick an eclair and a coffee for a gentle morning date. Order pancakes to share and stay for a second coffee.
Mils
Take a late, slow breakfast: shakshuka in the pan and a pastry from the counter to share. Reserve a table on weekends.
KD konditoreja
Split a cake and a savoury pancake with coffee. A quiet, unhurried break in the middle of a walk.
Bulka
Fill a tray from the buffet and share a dessert. A cheap, cosy stop for a daytime date.
Big Bad Bagels
Split two bagels, one savoury and one sweet, and take them for a walk. A quick, cheap morning start.
Buberts
Order a dessert and coffee to share, or come in the evening for cake and wine. Book a table if the evening has live music.
Cadets de Gascogne
Pick two pastries and a pot of coffee, then carry them across to the nearby park for a slow stroll. A good low-pressure opener that costs very little.
CakeHouse Amalija
Share two slices of cake with tea and take an outside table on a sunny afternoon. A sweet, unhurried stop between other plans.
Pietura
A simple daytime coffee-and-cake date. Share a slice and take the window seat on a grey afternoon.
Gardumiņš
A simple coffee-and-cake stop on a local square. Share a pastry and watch the neighbourhood go by.
Cruffins
Stop by for a daytime pastry date and sample over twenty-five sweet and savoury fillings. You can share flavours like pistachio or blue cheese alongside a cup of hot coffee or a glass of champagne.
Crumble Cake
Choose one cake each and swap bites over coffee, ideally at an outside table. A short, sweet pause while exploring the lanes.
Vanilas debesis
Pick two different cakes and share them while strolling the market stalls. A sweet, cheap detour before or after a longer date.
