Café Culture

Where to warm up on a cold day.

 

There’s nothing better than a good bowl of soup or a great cup of coffee on a cold winter’s day. Here are a few local favourites to try while in town.

Klaus Kohvik
Kalasadama 8, Tallinn
www.klauskohvik.ee

Sometimes you’re in the mood for some good, simple food and Klaus is just the place to get it. Daily lunch specials during the week offer a soup and main. Even better they have a fabulous brunch on Saturdays and Sundays.

Maismokk
Pikk 16, Tallinn Old Town 
www.kohvikmaiasmokk.ee
Maiasmokk has great pastries and an even better interior. The rooms have been used as a café for almost 200 years! Tables are small like in old-time Parisian cafés. The walls are covered with wood and mirrors, originating from its heyday when the place was called Stude. Pastries and freshly made salads line the display, and hot meals are available to order from the small kitchen.

Björn Espresso Bar
Maakri 28, Tallinn
www.facebook.com/BJ%C3%96RN-Espresso-BAR-966948210026880/
If you’re into modern design and great coffee made by people that actually know how to make it, look no further than Björn Espresso Bar. And if that weren’t enough, later in the day they prepare great cocktails too.

Kohvik August
Väike-karja 5, Tallinn Old Town
www.kohvikaugust.ee
Excellent coffee, delicious pastries, and creative meals are what’s on the menu at August. The interior is a mix of modern and retro where you can come for lunch, dinner or just cocktails in the evening.

NOP
Köleri 1, Tallinn
blog.nop.ee
If you want to venture out of the Old Town to see a different neighbourhood, take the tram to NOP in Kadriorg, a cosy organic café and food shop just off of Narva mnt. The shop sells local and speciality products to take home, and offers a delicious selection of meals and breakfasts and dinners to enjoy in the café.

Energia Kohvik
Kaubamaja 4, Tallinn
Walking into the Energia Café you are immediately taken back in time. Established in 1964, this café is located next to Kaubamaja department store and has served hungry Tallinners for decades now. The menu has almost remained the same, just like its clientele.
