Warm Dishes Cafés in Vilnius
What started as a dessert subscription has become one of Vilnius’ most inventive bakeries. Asta Petrus and her team make everything in-house at Desertų klubas (“Dessert Club”): croissants, buns, donuts, and their own ice cream. The lemon tartlet with unsweetened cream is a good place to start.

A converted factory loft houses a café, gallery, and Michelin-starred restaurant in one.

By evening, conceptual tasting menus are presented by award-winning chef Tadas Eidukevičius.
