Let’s Have Some Bun!
Plan your next trip to Tallinn to discover over 30 cafes & bakeries serving more than 120 unique shrove buns.
These are traditional soft cardamom buns with their top cut off and filled with whipped cream or custard, sometimes jam or marzipan.
Swedes know it as ‘semla’, Finns call it ‘laskiaispulla’, and Latvians take pride in their ‘vēja kūkas’. However we here in Estonia love it by its local name – ‘vastlakukkel’.
Tallinn Bun Fest 2026 will take place from January 15th to Shrove Tuesday, February 17th.
Plan your sweetest stay in Tallinn.
