Lovely cafe with patisserie and health foods/products. Really lovely staff. Would definitely go back if I am in Daugavspils again.

Really friendly, wide selection for sweet-tooths but also lunch options available (freshly pre-prepared local dishes). Daily soup also available. It's also possible to buy dried teas, treats (e.g., gotiņas from Skriveri), eco products, pastas, etc. Came for pancakes but unfortunately not available. Still a cute place to come to. Compared to Riga, good prices too.

Very tasty, well prepared food in a cosy place owned by locals. The article in Russian language about the cafe owners provides a good insight into the journey of local Daugavpils people to establishing their own cafe. The owner admits she has tried more than 12 different sports, and many carriers until opening cafe. I can only recommend the same spirit to try out new things when in Daugavpils. This hidden gem certainly provides one of the best food experiences I have had in this city!

The comfiest place ever! Live the food and the desserts. Highest quality. Everything is special there: the atmosphere, the music, the waiters! Desserts are magnificent.

Tasty home made food. Very friendly and welcoming service. English is not spoken widely, but everyone gets along well. Both savory and sweet dishes were great alike.

One of the best places in Daugavpils to treat your closest and yourself to the sweet treat.

The place was nice. Despite the waitress didn’t know English very well, she tried to make herself understand. The choice among the desserts and sweets is wide and the one we tried were very good. However, (probably was my fault because I didn’t ask) my dessert wasn’t pistachio flavor, it was made with almond paste. It was very good but not what I expected.
