This handsome, brick-vaulted creperie-bakery stands out from the crowd on Vilnius’ busiest tourist street, mixing old-world charm with a fresh, upbeat vibe. The 9am omelette here is a must, as are the savoury pancakes, stuffed with spinach or ham and cheese and topped with sour cream. The poppyseed cake is reputedly the best on this side of town.
