The menu features a variety of appealing options, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a light snack.

While some have wished for an added zing of lemon to elevate the flavor, the overall experience is sure to leave you satisfied. Pair your meal with a selection of Estonian craft beers on tap, adding a local touch to your cafe experience.

Picked shrimps and chips, nice portion, two sauces but I missed lemon, simple thing to add to give the shrimps more kick because the crease taste finally took over. For desert chose tiramisu, first felt coffee, but I missed the taste of liquor but maybe they want to sell it to kids also, but it felt a bit blend due to that. Overall nice sitting outside and this is a cafe not a restaurant, so well done!

Super cozy cafe, especially when the weather is nice and you can sit outside. Food is good, Estonian craft beer also on tap. But eating outside keep a sharp eye of the smart jackdaws ;)

I was riding by and the smell enticed me in. Scrambled eggs with bacon, delicious. The girl at the counter was great. I highly recommend this place

It is confusing to get to and located in a parking lot area but once you orient yourself and find the restaurant, it is beautiful. The beach is a 10-15 minute walk away and the restaurant overlooks the pier. There is also a small playset for children. I suggest going before or after a long beach day. GREAT staff, food, and location.

Absolutely a must visit place for backpackers and truckers. Warm shower for 2 euros, no time limit. Clean showers. Also Sauna available for 5 euros. Cozy living room where you can enjoy coffee or snacks and charge your mobile devices. Friendly staff, I rate this place 5/5!

What a gem! Extremely good value buffet lunch, stunning Tom yum soup, meat loaf, loads of salads etc for 13euro and very very reasonable alcoholic drinks. Lovely staff, so helpful. Fab terrace with sofas and great views in the sun. 100% recommend!!

Found it when we were looking for a place to chill and drink coffee. Staff is very nice and polite, coffee is good, shakes are sweet, there are some homemade pastries/sweet things as well. We liked the atmosphere, so we returned there a day after and tried soups - and they were very delicious as well! Next time in Tallinn, we'll be back again :D
