RØST Bakery

This place truly stands out with what might be some of the best coffee I’ve had in Tallinn smooth, expertly pulled espresso and beautifully crafted that any coffee nerd will appreciate. They even have a Slayer machine, which shows they take coffee seriously. The café offers a great selection of pastries and sandwiches with plenty of variety perfect for a light bite or sweet treat alongside your coffee. While they don’t serve full breakfast items like eggs or pancakes, you’ll find plenty of delicious options to pair with your cup. One thing to note: there are signs on the lower seating tables asking customers not to use laptops there. It’s a cozy space meant for enjoying your coffee and conversation. However, if you do need to get work done, there’s a bar area where laptop use is allowed, so you can still bring your computer and enjoy a comfortable setup. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, which adds to the overall relaxed vibe of the place. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Tallinn, RØST is a must visit for great coffee and quality pastries. Highly recommended for coffee lovers! Aitäh!!☕️🥄

Pros: - They bake everything fresh. - BIG sandwiches. - they heat the sandwiches - Vegetarian sandwiche options! - Adequate prices. - Water available for free. - Fast service! - Large variety of FRESH buns Cons: - No decaf (probably coz takes time to change the beans and prolongs the already long queue) - Always a queue. - No laptops on tables. Grilled pepper sandwich with black olive tapenade and cream cheese was legit, not too oily, with crunch on the outside (grilled). There was also an egg mayo option for a more soft bite. Cardamom bun suuuuper fresh (my gf said too much orangey flavour). Flat white 5/5! Perfect balance between acidity, smoothness and bitterness (and price and size!). I'd give a total 5/5 but coz of no decaf it's a 4. But definitely recommend for fresh bakery!

I had cardamom bun and flat white for a pit stop in a Saturday morning. Cozy atmosphere but very crowded (the line was quick though). No seat available when i was there so i braved the -12C temperature and ate at one of the outdoor seats. The bun was fresh but cold. Coffee was yummy. Overall it was nice but not so much to write home about.

First stop on my trip to Tallinn and it did not disappoint. Not many seats inside luckily I got one. It's busy and service was fast, very efficient. Delicious pastries, good coffee too.

I was definitely expecting way more from the quality of their menu and instead I have ended up to be slightly disappointed as the quality of the food I have was quite standard compared to the same types of pastries and bakery I previously tried in Vilnius and Riga. The atmosphere was cozy and warm and the service was kind and friendly. However, to summarize my perspective, I would say that this place looks nicer than it tastes although the espresso I had was delicious.

RØST Bakery is a very nice spot and definitely worth the walk from the Old Town, especially since it’s located in a cool, modern district. The cinnamon and cardamom buns were delicious - warm, soft, and perfectly baked. The raisin bun was less impressive for us, but still decent. We didn’t end up sitting inside, as it was very crowded, and in winter there’s quite limited space to comfortably put coats and bags. Still, a great place to grab something sweet to go.

Small bakery that had a lovely scent when I walked it. The pastry was being baked so there was a delicious smell of the baked good. I had a delicious cardamon bun that was juicy and sticky. The espresso was strong and bitter and to my liking. I was not that impressed with the croissant as that did not feel freshly baked and hence it was not that crispy on the outside. All in all, a great place to stop by for a coffee and some sweet pastry before you continue exploring the town.

These cardamom buns are incredible!! And you can tell by how many they make each day. They are cranking out pastries constantly. The cafe has a great ambiance, very cozy in the winter. Highly recommend!
