It’s always difficult to get a seat at this tiny teashop owing to its size and the delicious cakes and pastries it bakes on the premises. Tea, coffee and freshly squeezed juices are all available here in a pleasant, if a bit cramped atmosphere. The giant hourglass hanging above the door has somehow managed to escape destruction despite the preponderance of inebriated youth that roam Old Riga in the evenings.

Paris 27 September 2011 Originally from Riga I now live in France and come back home 2-3 times per year. I have been craving for a real pastry "Vecriga" for more than 10 years now and it has been a true surprise to find this tea and coffee shop by chance and to FINALLY get my TRUE VECRIGA which tasted the same as 15-20 years ago. Also try their "vatrushkas" - it's a killing and tastes as if my Grandma baked those.
