Large sweet and savoury pancakes in the Old Town. Kompressor is an option for a filling meal without a big restaurant bill.
Maiasmokk draws visitors with its old-fashioned interior, coffee and cake counter. The setting is remembered as much as the sweets.
RØST is a stop for a cardamom bun and pastries. A quick coffee can start with a queue, though.
Grenka with salmon and avocado, or with duck, gives a clear reason to consider this café for lunch.
Hot chocolate, truffles and a vintage interior in a courtyard off Vene Street. Pierre is a stop for something sweet during a walk.
A café-bakery on Viru Street for warming up during an Old Town walk.
Must Puudel is an option for breakfast or brunch in the Old Town, with praised coffee and plant-based dishes. One guest found lunch portions small for the price, while another thought the tofu scramble rather dry.
Doughnuts, strawberry-jam pancakes and home-style food in Nõmme. One guest describes a well-run family celebration, while an everyday visit produced a very different account of an abrupt, unwelcoming waitress.
Nikolay serves savoury and sweet pies. Guests remember generous salmon-and-spinach filling, apple-lingonberry pie and helpful advice at the counter. The room is described as quiet; a resident cat gets a special mention in one account.
Reval Café on Müürivahe gets praise for comfortable seating, coffee and sweet and savoury choices. Hot dishes fare less well: glass noodles were too sour for one guest and dumplings bland. Another found the entrance seating draughty.
NOP’s courtyard appeals to visitors stopping on the way to Kadriorg. Food opinions differ, from praise to complaints about weak flavour and unevenly cooked poached eggs. Even a guest who enjoyed the food found service slow.
Café Narva is appreciated for meat pies, buns and an unhurried coffee. Returning guests remember familiar pastry flavours and affordable prices. The appeal is a simple breakfast or a slice of cake in a calm setting.
Cats are the main reason to visit Nurri. Guests describe sociable animals, a spacious room and friendly staff, with a separate admission charge. One found food portions small for the price; eating is secondary to spending time with the cats.
Coffee near Town Hall Square, retro music and breakfast shape guests’ impressions of Kofeman. A salmon-and-avocado bruschetta received measured praise. The coffee break and setting are the clearest attractions in these accounts.
Coffee éclairs, banoffee cake and pesto croissants are specific favourites at La Boulangerie. Guests also enjoyed quiche and Croque Madame for a more substantial breakfast, alongside praised coffee.
Katharinenthal offers a coffee stop during a Kadriorg walk. Honey cake and cinnamon buns receive particular praise. One visitor describes the café itself as small.
Caffeine on Harju works as a quick stop for sandwiches, a fish wrap, brownies and coffee. One guest worked on a laptop; another reported an accessible entrance for a wheelchair.
Shakshuka and salads stand out at Gallery Cafe; one traveller returned for lunch over several days. Laptop users are part of the scene, although the lively room can make concentration difficult.
Ristikheina offers guests a quiet breakfast away from tourist crowds. Coffee, omelettes and breakfast beyond the morning receive praise. Staff are described as friendly and organised.
Männi kohvik is a stop after park walks or playtime; one regular chooses juice and sausages with fries. Food receives praise, alongside complaints about a wrong side, water billing and cigarette smoke.
Breakfast, pastries and an almond flat white pleased Levier guests in Rotermanni. The spacious room also earns praise. Another account describes a fifty-minute food wait blamed on an ordering-system problem.
Pistachio cake, cookies and meat or chicken pies stand out at Kalamaja Bakery, alongside praised coffee. Welcomes vary: one guest received detailed explanations, while another encountered unfriendly answers.
French-inspired decor, chandeliers and espresso appeal to Meistri Lyon guests. Food opinions differ: a salmon pancake was merely filling and cake too sweet. One account mentions forgotten dishes.
Coffee and a cinnamon bun in a narrow lane beside Town Hall Square. Saiakangi kohvik appeals to guests for a quieter setting than the square itself and a choice of cakes.
