Definitely a NO! The food was terrible, and the interior was very strange. Payment was accepted in cash only, which felt a bit suspicious. We were short on time and very hungry, which is why we ended up there. In hindsight, we should have kept looking for another place, as we left with empty stomachs and most of the food still on our plates.

Great service, waitress was very helpful. Nice terrace :) I ordered the scrambled eggs with bacon, the kids got the pancakes and it was awesome! Family brunch successful :D

Went in for breakfast. Firstly they said that would be half an hopur before they could even give us a coffee. Then cash only ("the machine is broken"). We left. seemed disorganised.

They accept ONLY CONTAINERS, they inform it at the entrance. They lose a lot of customers on it, as many get through the door and then go. Their americano is miserable! It tastes of so bad old coffee for 3,90 euros! And their juice of 0.2 costs 3,50 euros. Their breakfast is okay, and you get your portion. But there are many purchases. The music inside is too loud as breakfast café. The waiter does not remember who ordered what, but there was no hurry. So little bad service.

We were just randomly walking around Riga in the rain and wanted to get some coffee and lunch. The menu looked very eclectic but gave choices for children and those with dietary requirements. The staff welcomed us and were warm and friendly. We were well served and the food and drink were enjoyable. I particularly liked their choice of music videos, which might grate with some, but for us it made the whole visit so much more. Bravo.

Nice place with a great atmosphere and welcoming staff. We ordered two different pizzas. They were okay, not amazing, but the overall vibe made it a pleasant experience.

They seem stressed. There was three available tables, seating four when I went inside for my second drink, one was reserved. I was asked to move to a smaller table, I pointed out none were available. The staff suggested that, as I had sat outside before that I would be again! I relented and had to ask for my change from another member of staff, whilst pointing out that I'd been asked to sit outside. I finished my drink, quick, it was 1°C outside, I placed my empty plastic glass on the unreserved table that I had been sat at previously, which was still vacant. I then asked if I could use the facilities or if that was an outside job as well? This attempt to make light of a very silly situation didn't go down well.

Deserve 5/5 for beautifuly cooked food. Great attentive, friendly & very helpful staff. The three of us really enjoyed our breakfast before visiting St Peter’s. Great relaxing music vibes on the screens was a big bonus 👍

The food here is absolutely amazing! Everything is fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I especially loved the dish with salmon, arugula, olives, and the huge crispy pancake – such a creative and delicious combination. The balance of taste and texture was perfect, and the presentation made it feel very special. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the service is excellent. Definitely a place I would love to come back to again and again!
