STRADA Coffee Bar

The only non-chain specialty coffee shop that truly deserves all the respect! The interior is cozy and full of character, with a rare and wide variety of teas and coffees, and the terrace during warm months adds a lovely touch. It’s also amazing that they roast their own beans and do it exceptionally well. It might not be “the” spot for someone looking for a full meal with their coffee, but they do offer some cakes and sandwiches that pair nicely. On top of the wonderful tea selection, you can even buy a teapot or a cup for drinking mate. Speaking of their specialty offerings, their V60 is magnificent, I often order it along with chocolate cake. Sometimes I go for a cappuccino, which is always velvety, or an iced latte with a perfect balance of flavours. Another standout aspect is the service. Baristas are always caring and thoughtful, taking drink quality seriously and investing time and effort into preparation. You can ask them about ingredients, recommendations, or even the origins of a particular drink. Special kudos to Daniels for never hesitating to share his knowledge and kind energy. Finally, it’s a wonderful space to work in. There is no discrimination against people using laptops. Perhaps, don’t just work: make sure to try the many amazing options from their drink selection.

Nice small independent cafe you find when u stroll in the old town. Daniel was serving nice kool guy. Calm and peaceful place with a kool vibe with a character. Coffee is house roasted good blend. You can find Argentinian mate aa well.

Strada gave a decent impression with food that was steady and reliable rather than remarkable. The service was fine, and the restaurant handled guests smoothly. It did not stand out compared to other meals in the city, though it was acceptable for a casual dinner.

Amazing coffee bar, the atmosphere is cozy, calm and self-conscious. I wish we would have a coffee bar like this one in Stuttgart.

There are a number of coffee places in Riga (most of them outside the old town) that claim to serve specialty coffee. Some of them are quite decent. Strada however is exceptional. Judging by the coffees (did not eat anything) I have had there, they have superior water quality, a great grinder and very good beans. If you have high standards when it comes to the taste of coffee, go there: You will love it!

Really bad cortado. You cannot call this coffee ‘specialty’ at all. At 3.50 for a cortado it’s expensive but exactly the same as any cheap coffee you get in a supermarket. The worst offender is the milk they use. It’s that carton stuff that has a disgusting strong taste which means you can’t taste anything but the nasty milk. Anybody saying this is ‘good coffee’ needs their head checked.

Awesome coffee place! I went there for a breakfast (filtered coffee + cheesecake) and it was really tasty. Also the atmosphere was very nice and cozy.

Great coffee at a very affordable price, right in the heart of Old Town Riga! Don’t miss this place if you’re ever in the city.
