100 % vegan places

ALL fully vegan places in Riga. They are not many, but I recommend to visit them all. If you have time to visit just one, I'd suggest Kozy Eats for food. And OneCaCaco for cacao.

A must visit over the river. The area is also very nice for sightseeing, small cute wooden houses with a countryside vibes. You will find vegan pizza (no vegan cheese) in Vīnkalni pizza, bao buns with tofu and mushrooms in Bao (all on the 2nd floor)....
Agenskalns Market

The cafe is more of a lunch place, it is located in a school (first floor) it does not have the coziest vibes. But if you are around, go check it out, as it is mostly vegan. The best part of this brand is their soysliks and chia caviar that you can f...
Nata Cafe

This cafe has quite a lot of vegan options, pizzas, salads, falafels. But I would recommend Lulū pizza over this one, cause this is not that good for the value. Chilli pizza has less ingrediants on their pizza and thinner dough, however they taste pr...
Cili Pizza - Čili Pizza

If you are desperately hungry at night after a party, this place will save you. It has a lunch dining hall vibes and serves lunch type of foods even at night. Ask for their vegan options, there are not many, but they introduced some lately.
Lauvas nams

If you are in a hurry, you can takeaway some snacks and a vegan hotdog (ask for it, cause they dont always have it). It is a kiosk type of place, ussually nowhere to sit down.
Narvesen

It is a kiosk that usally you can find by a gas station when on a road, but there are some places in Riga center too. Great takeaway options, such as vegan burgers, vraps. Highly recoomend if in hurry or outside of Riga.

Pub vibes, funky interior, mostly youngsters. Quite many vegan options, more of a junk food side. You will find this cafe in a lot of places in Riga, also even outside Riga in some cities. I recommend the one in Tallinas pagalms in Riga, it is a part...

A new cool place, mostly serves sandwiches but has this a bit fancy vibe, it is quite small and you can see the chefs in action. There are few vegan options. A nice place to explore a more local vibe as it is a bit further from the center. Ingedients...
