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.
Café Osiris
Book a table for an evening, share a dessert or two and take your time. Cafe lighting and a short menu make it easy to talk.
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.
Raunas Dārzs Eklērnīca
Build a mixed box and split each flavour, then take it to a bench or home. Sweet and cheap.
Tuta Un SaldĒJums
Indulge in a sweet treat together, reliving childhood memories with a traditional ice cream made from real milk and carefully crafted recipes that have been perfected over decades. You can enjoy it on a stick, in a cone, or share it with family and friends in a larger container.
Molberts saldējums
Buy two scoops and walk through the park by the canal. A light, sweet addition to a stroll, best on a warm afternoon.
Vanilas debesis
Pick two different cakes and share them while strolling the market stalls. A sweet, cheap detour before or after a longer date.
Grand Hotel Kempinski Riga Lobby Lounge (Afternoon Tea)
Dress up for a slow afternoon tea with sweets and sandwiches. Ask about the tea ceremony, and make it a treat for no special reason.
