MiiT Coffee has been part of Riga’s city centre since 2014. Every espresso-based drink it serves is built on its own specialty-grade espresso roast, and the beans are sold in bags at the bar. Single-origin coffee is brewed by hand on AeroPress, V60, Kalita and Chemex, the Chemex being the centrepiece of the filter bar, and the espresso is dialled in fresh every morning. The drinks menu also has an espresso tonic, matcha, kombucha and a decaf or guest espresso.
The kitchen is vegetarian, and nearly everything on it, from breakfast and lunch to dinner and desserts, is fully vegan, with gluten-free options. The English breakfast comes with fried eggs or tofu scramble, vegan sausage, beans in tomato sauce, mushrooms and toast with cream cheese. There is a quinoa bowl with courgette noodles, pesto, hummus and edamame, an artichoke pizza with sun-dried tomatoes and rocket, and a vegan carrot cake with walnuts, fig and blueberry, like nearly all the cakes.
The room is filled with art, and for celebrations MiiT sets tables for up to 50 guests. Tables can be reserved through WhatsApp.
