Vegan Latvian food - hit or miss - Edit
During our trip through the Baltics, it became clear that Riga would be the most difficult city to find vegan food in, especially food that mimics some of the local cuisine. I’m not sure why this is, but I would really recommend eating outside of the old town for this reason.
Read moreSeveral online forums said that Mazā Terapija was one of the few places to experience a vegan twist on Latvian food. This is true for a few dishes, with the rest of the menu comprising standard vegan cafe fare.
For starters, the carrot salmon was amazing! As someone who used to love seafood, I am not sure how they were able to so closely mimic the taste. Truly one of the best things I ate on this trip.
However, we were less impressed by the main dishes. The schnitzel was a bit too heavy (way too much cheese), and the meat substitute wasn’t my favorite. I could only eat a few bites, and I mostly just ate the potatoes and side salad (which were delicious). For the flagship dish, I was hoping for more. My boyfriend said his tofu burger was just okay and not all that crispy. I hope we just ordered wrong, and I would definitely come back to try other dishes especially for the low price and generous portion sizes.

Lunch combo - Edit
Cute little cafe offering fresh, vegan options including sandwiches, soups, drinks and desserts. It looks like their menu offerings rotate. I got the lunch combo that included a soup and sandwich and I also tried one of the chocolate cakes. Everything was good and takeaway service was quick.

First Latvian cuisine approach - Edit
Just landed in Riga i went straight to this place. Although it was late (16pm) we could have lunch and the service was quick. We had the “mushroom risotto”, with an slightly coconut flavour, and the “soy Schnitzel” which it was a very complete dish. We also had a white wine glass and the total was 25€, which i found very affordable.
Read moreWe didn’t had dessert but they all looked yummy!
They also offer homemade carrot-salmon and other stuff ❤️

Lovely little cafe - Edit
I stopped here for a quick and carby breakfast. There are lots of sweet and savory pastries to choose from... I got a cheese burek, something like a sausage roll, and a slice of Napoleon cake for dessert. Everything was really good, but I would have liked for the savory pastries to be served warm.

Delicious ramen! - Edit
The food was amazing, highly recommend their ramen. Potatoes were good too. I also enjoyed their drinks/coffee. Their sweets did look delicious and there were so many options! Only thing was that I didn’t think the place was very cosy.

Great choice! - Edit
Great place for vegan food! We spoilt Berliners were here twice during our stay in Riga and had a.o. solyanka, the herringless bowl made with aubergine and algae, the Caesar's salad, the schnitzel (which was more like a cheese-topped steak), and different cakes, and all of them were really, really good 💖
Read moreI'd most recommend the Cesar's salad, the tiramisu and anything fish-less, but you can't go wrong with anything here! Also, super friendly staff and the place itself is quite cute, too. We'll make sure to return to this lovely little place when we come back to Riga.

Great beyond words - Edit
After some mixed experiences at other places, I finally found vegan paradise in Riga. This place got it all, a wide choice of purely vegan soups, mains, snacks, sandwiches, an extensive choice of cake and great coffee, all set it a very comfy atmosphere with chill music.
Read moreThe food tasted amazing, was a bargain and the staff was super nice.
The cake was out of the world. Probably one of the best I have ever eaten.
So far this is the first and only place in Riga to say that I will definitely come back.

Absolutely crazy good! - Edit
Where do I start! Probably the best vegan waffle and tofu scramble I've had. The quality is beyond. Loved the vibe and energy. Also the serve yourself cafeteria style for the water was a plus. The cakes and desserts..,OMG! I bought 4 different slices for my friends family to try since they are not vegan and they loved it! The latte was also good but not the best. I also had a takeaway tempeh sandwich for my next day lunch at the airport, and wasn't the best. It needed some seasoning or some more flavour. Will definitely be back , next time I'm in Riga. Fully recommend! #Veganuary
Read morePros: Food, portions, taste, Energy and environment , Desserts!
Cons: Latte had too much foam and a bit cold, Sandwich could have more seasoning

What a shame - Edit
I had anticipated a positive experience at the restaurant, but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. Both my non-vegan friend and I felt unwell after our visit. The food was served cold, and the customer service was lacking. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Used to be better - Edit
We do still appreciate the rare vegan cafe in Riga that you can find, but unfortunately this one lately has been disappointing. We used to love it but in the past year food doesn't taste as good anymore but we hope for better days to come. There is definitely room for improvement.
