With breakfast omelettes, smoked salmon salad and several quiches, the menu is more sophisticated than one would expect for such a tiny, mall café. If you miss out on the breakfast or lunch specials, there are an array of luscious desserts and beverages to keep your mouth occupied. We quite liked the
place, but it’s somehow just not as warm or special as their first location in Haapsalu.
