Which cafe will be your favourite continued;

Pierre Chocolaterie

The historic setting of the Masters’ Courtyard adds an extra touch of charm to this little café where tempting truffles are the speciality. Visitors can sip coffee or cognac at one of the tables in the frilly, 19th-century interior, or weather and, season permitting, opt for a table in the open air.

Bogapott

A popular destination for the discerning tourist, Bogapott is an intriguing pottery studio, shop and cosy café all rolled into one. This is a unique family run set-up, where there are many creations on sale that can' t be found anywhere else in town. In summer, visitors can relax in the café' s courtyard, sipping coffee from cups that were made right on the spot.

Olematu Rüütel

Located in a well-renovated stone house on Toompea hill, the Non-Existent Knight comes complete with café, bar, Estonian wine room and a Medieval-style restaurant hall. The menu covers popular European trends as well as Estonian traditions and the chef ensures that whatever you try will be of the highest quality.

Saiakang

This small café on the Saiakang lane, just off Town Hall Square, has been a neighbourhood staple for years and continues to offer the essential café experience. This is a place where you can drop in for a cup and a chat, have a slice of cake and be on your way. Alternatively, you can settle down with a bowl of soup or stick around to chat with friends.

Wabadus

Located right on Freedom Square, Wabadus not only has commanding views of one of the busiest spots in Tallinn, it also boasts of stunning, colourful interior. Chicken pasta, salmon fillet and a burger with fries are all on the menu. Head upstairs to find more room and less bustle than on the ground floor.

Sõõrikukohvik

Doughnuts sold by the kilo are the speciality at the Doughnut Café' s two Tallinn locations. They are created the classic way, fried and then sugared. The doughnuts only come in one variety, but other food is also available including salads, pancakes and even spaghetti.

Narva Café

A visit to this friendly, downtown café is a must for those who want a glimpse of the Soviet era. Pastries, salads and a long list of hot dishes are on offer, all at prices that are considerably lower than elsewhere. Narva Cafe' s bakery is also known throughout the city as a worthy place to pick up birthday cakes and tasty pretzels.
