Such a lovely little spot where every detail has been thought through. Wonderful service from the barista, who was really friendly and kind. Love the fact that the cafe is tucked away from the main streets of the city centre while still remaining central, definite adds to the charm.

Actually one of the best coffees I have had in a while- cappuccino decaf was just perfect. It was a little loud inside with the music and as the place is small and I was there at an hour when it was quiet, it was a bit akward haha. Design is cute, great tables and an outdoor terrace. Don’t expect a nice view as the buildings on the street are very run down.

The service was good, and I appreciated that they offer single-origin chocolate. However, I was a bit disappointed that they only had milk chocolate and no dark chocolate options. The coffee was delicious—I had an Americano, but it was prepared like filtered coffee, so I'm unsure why they labeled it as Americano, as filter coffee would have been a better fit. One downside is that the place is quite small, and since it was empty, I felt a bit uncomfortable staying, so I opted for takeaway.

Located on a quiet street, it offers a cozy atmosphere inside and a lovely terrace outside. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy some quality coffee and treats.

had the best a iced americano of my life here! super friendly chatty staff which you don’t find often in riga, and let me use their charger so a double slay. keep in mind - the cafe is quite small, so bigger tables to seat a larger company won’t be possible

Aesthetically pleasing coffee/chocolate spot with a well-thought-out design and attention to detail. However, the service was a bit slow.
