In keeping with the global trends of bearded millennials, this industrial-style café on Riga’s undisputed hipster Mecca, Miera iela, specialises in exceptional coffee, craft brews and a small menu of imaginative international cuisine. The din of spirited conversation and an overburdened espresso machine creates a lively ambience that’s hard to beat, especially at lunch when you can order an affordable two- or three-course meal. Pour yourself a free glass of water at the counter, order a slice of cake or do as the locals do and fire up your laptop under funky lamps made of driftwood and recycled beams. You can also take a peek at the coffee roasting operation in the back.
