Cadets de Gascogne, kafejnica — Restaurant in Riga

Tasty pastries at, I'd say, quite decent price. I visit this place quite randomly as it's not on my usual route, but when I visit I always grab some pastry and drink (mostly as takeaway) All pastries I have tried are tasty, but almond croissant is from heaven. Also macaroons are really tasty and looks really good. Coffee (latte) is decent, nothing special (6.5-7/10) they have also bitter cacao drink which tasted good. Location is really nice, nearby are quite a lot attractions and there is a parking lot in nezt building (when you use it you can get one free pastry if you buy coffee with the parking ticket) The place can get noisy when more people enter, but it's a Caffe where most people get takeaway food and drinks, so that can be expected. Staff is friendly...

That place seems to be very popular at local ones.

Over Summertime you can use the terrace at the top of the roof to sit with a cup of coffee... Though is a bit loud from the tram that circulating in few meters as a cafe parked just by the tram rails.

Prices... I have had flat white to go and paid 2.90 Eur, most of the sweet buns cost 0.90-1.50 Eur, Quiche, Pizza's squares varied up to 2.00 Eur.

Sweet buns are extremely tasty!!! Once you've tried, I am sure you come back.

Service is... I'd say could be more...focused on the customer.

That place does not sell traditional Latvian food but the cafe itself and the Terence is a charming, good atmosphere...

Cadets de Gascogne – A pause, but not perfection. After a long wander through the city, we landed at Cadets de Gascogne, hoping for that ideal coffee pick-me-up. We sampled the Cappuccino, Caffè Latte, and Hot Chocolate—a lineup that sadly didn’t live up to our expectations. The flavors felt muted, and none quite delivered that comforting spark we were craving. ☕🍫

Maybe our taste buds were off, or maybe it just wasn’t their best day in the kitchen—but I’ve definitely had better brews elsewhere. Still, it’s an okay spot for a casual break if you’re not chasing coffee nirvana. The setting offered a peaceful pause, and sometimes that’s all you...
