This is definitely one of the best places in Tallinn for pastries and desserts. Nice atmosphere, good service and there is always a huge variety of sweets. From savory dishes, we tried Niçoise salad and Croque Madame and we liked both. They also make good matcha and coffee.
But the main focus here is definitely the desserts. The croissants are incredibly tasty and the éclairs are also really good. There are usually a lot of desserts on display and they all look very delicious.
Overall, it’s a really great place and definitely worth visiting. But it can be a bit hard to get in, on weekdays it’s possible to make a reservation, so it’s better to book, but on weekends it’s quite difficult to get a table.
I stopped by La Boulangerie Bakery and it turned out to be such a solid find, especially if you enjoy classic pastries done really well. The place has a simple, relaxed vibe—nothing too fancy, just good quality baked goods and great coffee.
Their Danish croissant was honestly one of the best I’ve had—perfectly flaky on the outside, soft and buttery inside. It had that fresh-out-of-the-oven feel which makes all the difference. I also tried their éclair, and it was just as good—light pastry, smooth cream filling, and not overly sweet.
The coffee paired really nicely with everything, which made it a great spot to just sit for a bit and take a break. It didn’t feel rushed or crowded, which I appreciated.
Overall, it’s one of those places you go to when you want something simple but done right. Good coffee, really good pastries, and a calm atmosphere—definitely worth stopping by if you’re in Tallinn.
This place is a must if you are in Tallinn. This bakery/coffee shop is amazing. We were told the pastries here were incredible and they were. We ordered a quiche and a pesto croissant and both were very good. We also ordered a pastry, the cinnamon caramel roll and it really was one of the best, if not the best, we have ever tried. We also ordered some coffees and both were very good, they have great beans and they know how to prepare it. The place is a little small and it was very busy when we were there, but still we were able to get a table.
Staff was really friendly. We went at about 11 oclock and they had a lot of yummy pastries and great breakfast options the wait was not longer than 6 minutes. The seating area is quite limited so be aware. Everything was nice and clean.
The caramel eclair was definitely 10/10
The Salat was great and you could tell everything was super fresh!
The breakfast croissant was spectacular but makes u fuller than u expect 😂
Definitely 10/10 experience overall
We just went back there after the first visit and this time we tried the marvelous pistachio croissant. Very nice coffee place with delicious pastries and sweets. We will come other times during the week.
