Why it matters: opened in 2018 by the Rūpju bērns association, RB Cafe is the first cafe in the Baltics where the majority of staff are people with disabilities – over 20 employment contracts so far, with several employees moving on into the open job market. It is also simply a very good bakery-cafe: the Pavlova cake is the house legend, backed by pies, cupcakes and coffee locals rate among Riga’s best. Order a slice of Pavlova and a flat white, and browse the counter for pastries to take away. Tip: it’s an easy stop between the Art Nouveau district and the A. Čaka street neighbourhood.
