Coffee, tea and cakes! Where is a good place in Old Tallinn to warm up on a cold day.

Shh... This will be our secret

Tallinn is especially beautiful in winter. A festive atmosphere envelops the city, looking like a scene from a fairy-tale film. But the cold forces you to look for cozy shelters with invigorating coffee or warming tea. Sometimes in Tallinn it is impossible to choose between dozens of different cute cafes generously scattered throughout the city. Our 120 Degrees team will share their experiences and tell you about our favorite places.

1. Maiasmokk cafe

Let's not be original and start the list with the oldest and most trusted cafe in the city. Translated from Estonian, the name means “sweet tooth”, and this is not surprising. Since 1864, the cafe has been delighting us with handmade marzipan, and later with factory-made marzipan.  Beautiful restored late 19th century interior, stunning location and excellent desserts.  Everything is made on site. A good reason to try coffee with traditional Old Tallinn liqueur.

2. Pulla Bakery

A new, but already favorite cafe with a good selection of fresh pastries. The bakery with display windows opens onto a pretty narrow street. When you come to visit, you have a strong desire to wrap yourself in a blanket and, with a cup in your hand, look at the falling snowflakes outside the window.

3. Vanalinna Rahva Raamat

What could be better than the combination of coffee and a good book? We definitely know the answer and it's a cafe in a bookstore. You can leisurely leaf through your favorite books over a cup of cappuccino in one of the most beautiful bookstores in Tallinn.

4. Dopamyne Matcha Tea Bar & More

Tallinn will also delight matcha tea lovers. The new Dopamyne Matcha Tea Bar & More specializes in drinks and dishes with this wonderful ingredient. We highly recommend matcha tea to all believers. And of course it is worth noting that this is an excellent choice for those looking for environmentally friendly and vegetarian cuisine.
