Kohvik Lummus is a delightful cafe tucked away on Müürivahe Street in Tallinn's UNESCO-listed Old Town. With a 4.7 rating from over 200 reviews, it is a favorite spot for both locals and tourists seeking a relaxing break. The cafe features a warm, rustic interior with wooden furniture and soft lighting, but the highlight is its peaceful courtyard garden, perfect for enjoying coffee on a sunny day. The menu focuses on high-quality coffee sourced from local roasters, alongside a selection of homemade cakes, pastries, and light meals like soups and sandwiches. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their brews. Lummus (meaning 'snow' in Estonian) lives up to its name with a cozy, hygge-inspired atmosphere that makes it an ideal retreat from the cobblestone streets outside.
