Lāči — Restaurant in Riga

🌿✨ LACI – A Soulful Slice of Latvian Tradition in the Heart of Riga ✨🌿

There are bakeries… and then there’s Laci.

Right in central Riga, this beloved spot has been baking with passion since 1993—and you can taste that history in every bite. This isn’t fast food. This is slow, thoughtful, handmade magic.

The pastries? Divine. From classic Latvian bakes to more creative, non-traditional delights, everything is crafted by hand. Fresh, flaky, buttery, rich—it’s almost impossible to choose. So don’t. Just get more than one.

But Laci is more than a bakery. It’s an experience. They’ve created a boutique-style confectionery corner, stocked with their own branded line of: • 🍪 Artisan biscuits • 🍓 Dried fruits • 🍞 Rustic bread • 🍯 Jams • 🍵 Teas

All beautifully packaged, perfect for gifts—or spoiling yourself.

Then there’s the cozy cafeteria, where you can enjoy your treats inside with a warm coffee or tea. And yes—plus plus—they also have an outdoor seating area! A rare gem in Riga where you can sit under the sky, enjoy the breeze, and people-watch while munching on excellence.

💫 Everything about Laci feels real, grounded, and timeless. In a world of shortcuts, they’ve stayed true to craft.

So if you’re in Riga—go. And if you’re not—add it to your list.

Because places like Laci? They remind us that the best things in life are still baked...

Tērbatas ielas kafejnīca... kadreiz likās mīlīga. Un tur ir gardi. Ir mīlīgi joprojām. Taču te strādā divas sievietes, no kurām vienmēr cenšos izvairīties. :( Šorīt -31.08 - neizdevās, un nodomāju- visiem taču jādod otra iespēja. Vēlējos līdzi ņemšanai tikai 2 saldējumus un 2 kafijas. Liels bija pārsteigums, ka pārdevējai pat prātā neienāca piedāvāt maisiņu, kur ielikt saldējumu vai iedot paliktnīi kafijām. Tā nu es tur stāvēju un domāju, kā lai to visu paņem. Pārdevēja bija absolūti neieinteresēta palīdzēt. Un šī nav pirmā reize. Skaidrības labad jāteic, ka līdz birojam nonāca 1 kafija un 2 saldējumi, jo otrā kafija vienkārši izslīdēja no rokām. Paldies par Neko un par lieki izmestiem 2.90. Kaut gan štrunts par naudu, žēl, ka šeit turpmāk došos tikai tad, kad redzēšu strādājam to vienu vienīgo jauko, vienmēr izpalīdzigo un laipno darbinieci. Ir ļoti bēdīgi, ka darbinieki var sabojāt visu vēlmi iepirkties visādi citādi ļoti...

Stopped by after lunch for some sweet desert and a latte. I tired the Citrona Kücina and expect it to have a hint of sour of lemon but instead the yellow jelly layer was very rubbery and stretchy. Overall, it’s ok but did not expect to eat rubber band. The latte is ok but very light on the...
