Tallinn, Estonia's capital, sits on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland about 80 km south of Helsinki, and went by the name Reval for much of the 13th to early 20th centuries.¹ The two capitals are tied by ferry: in 2025 the Tallinn–Helsinki route carried about 7.3 million passengers on seven ships run by Tallink, Viking Line and Eckerö Line.²

The Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, keeps an intact 13th-century street plan across 113 hectares.³ Its best-known café is Maiasmokk at Pikk 16, whose ground-floor room, with rust-colored wooden display cases and a painted glass ceiling, has looked much the same since 1913.⁴ West of the walls, Telliskivi Creative City occupies the old Baltic Railway Company factory, and at Telliskivi 60 The Brick Coffee Roastery, Fika and Nihe Kohvik share a block.⁵

East of the center, the palace Peter the Great began in 1718 for his wife Catherine now holds the Kadriorg Art Museum.⁶ Light changes the café year: daylight lasts under 6 hours 5 minutes at the winter solstice and more than 18 hours 40 minutes at midsummer, and July averages 17.6 °C.¹

How kohv works in Tallinn

Kohv means coffee, and kohvik, built from it, means café; the word came into Estonian from Middle Low German koffe.⁷ At Maiasmokk a small coffee costs €3.00 and a large one €4.00, a cappuccino €4.00 and a caffe latte €4.50, as of 2026.⁸ Across the city, a regular cappuccino cost €2.00–5.00 in October 2026, about €3.89 on average.⁹

Coffee usually comes with something baked. Kringel, a sweet twisted bread, first appears in written Estonian in 1660, in pastor Heinrich Göseken's Manuductio ad linguam Oesthonicam; the word arrived through Baltic German.¹⁰ The everyday partner is the kaneelisaiake (cinnamon bun): RØST, a sourdough bakery in the Rotermann Quarter, sells it and a cardamom bun for €3.50 each, and Levier, on the same street, charges €3.50 for its own, as of 2026.¹¹¹²

Plenty of kohvikud also cook a weekday lunch. Purée in Rotermann serves lunch from 12:00, with a soup of the day at €6.20 and a main course at €8.20 as of 2026, and Kringel, a vegan café in Uus Maailm, runs daily offers from 11:00 on weekdays.¹³¹⁴

Tipping is not compulsory, but about 10% is appreciated for good service in restaurants and cafés, and some card terminals let you add it.¹⁵ Cards and contactless payments are accepted almost everywhere, so cash is rarely essential, and free Wi-Fi is common in cafés and shopping centres.¹⁵
