Roasteries, espresso rooms, and the two places I actually get work done.

The roastery on Miera iela, and the reason Rīga has a coffee scene at all. Ask for the filter, not the flat white. Get there before ten or the whole street brings its laptop.
Miera iela 29
Espresso rooms, minimal, eight seats and no pretence of being a café. They roast their own and they are seriously good at it. Stand up, drink it, leave.
Z. A. Meierovica bulvāris 10
Where I sat out an entire winter. Cheap vegetarian lunch, a courtyard in summer, and nobody has ever made me feel like I should give up the table.
Lāčplēša iela 10
A proper French bakery that happens to be in Teika. The croissant is the best in the city and it is gone by eleven. Coffee is secondary here and that is fine.
Brīvības gatve 314
Cinnamon bun, black coffee, ten minutes on the step outside. This is my actual morning, not the aspirational version of it.
Tērbatas iela 12
Brunch that is worth the queue on a Sunday, which is not a sentence I write often. Eggs, window seat, no rush.
