The best places to get an espresso macchiato in Tallinn

Fika

Tucked away in Kalamaja, Fika brings a slice of Scandinavia to your coffee break. Think minimalist design and warm wooden details. Much like the café itself, their macchiato is tiny but mighty—just how we like it.

Kringel

A neighbourhood gem in the Uus Maailm area, Kringel is a cosy vegan café that offers fresh pastries and whole day breakfast. Calm and family-friendly, Kringel makes you feel it’s Sunday whenever you’re there, but their delicious macchiato certainly packs a punch.

 

Tassikoogid

Known primarily for their cupcakes, Tassikoogid (“Cupcakes” in Estonian) surprises with a seriously solid macchiato. The space is cheerful and bright, with pink pastel tones and sweet smells wafting through the air.

Paper Mill

Industrial-chic meets top-tier barista skills at Paper Mill. The vibe is cool without trying too hard—exposed brick, good tunes, and a staff that treats coffee like an art form. Their macchiato? Smooth, rich, and just the right amount of creamy.

Salt's Up

Salt’s Up is part specialty salt shop, part café, and 100% full of surprises. The space is bright and modern, with a fun selection of salts to browse while you sip. Their macchiato has a clean, balanced flavour that feels like a fresh start in a cup.

 

RØST

RØST is a love letter to Nordic baking and quality coffee. The smell of fresh cinnamon buns hits you first, followed by the sight of sleek espresso machines and serious coffee aficionados. Their macchiato is small but fierce—a bold little boost for your day.

Gourmet Coffee Kadriorg

Elegant and unfussy, Gourmet Coffee in Kadriorg is where locals go when they want something reliably excellent. The macchiato is silky and bold, served in a space that’s just fancy enough to make you sit a little straighter.
