Best Breakfast Places in Tallinn: 5 Restaurants and Cafés to Start Your Day Right

31. May, 2026

A good breakfast can make the whole day better. Sometimes you need something quick and nourishing before work; other times, you want to take the morning slowly with good coffee, fresh pastries or a generous buffet. Vabalaud.ee features 5 restaurants and cafés in Tallinn that serve breakfast — and they are worth visiting even if you are not staying at a hotel.

These places are suitable for a quick weekday morning, a relaxed start to the weekend, a morning meeting or simply for making the beginning of the day a little more enjoyable. The selection includes hotel breakfasts, a French-style café, a Kadriorg spot known for quality coffee and cafés in Tallinn’s Old Town where breakfast can also be enjoyed later in the day.

Allee Restaurant – Aia 18 / Kanuti 2, Tallinn
Located on the border of Tallinn’s Old Town and seaside area, Allee is a great choice for those who want to start the day with a fresh, rich and wholesome breakfast. The breakfast buffet welcomes guests from 7:30 and is open to everyone — including those who are not staying at the hotel.

Allee’s breakfast is a good option both for a calm morning and for a quick start before the workday. If you are short on time, you can grab a hot coffee and porridge to go, but if your morning allows for a slower pace, it is worth taking time for the buffet. It is exactly the kind of place to visit before a meeting, at the start of a city day or simply when you want to begin the morning without rushing.
Breakfast is served until 11:00.

Cafe Lyon – Meistri 22, Tallinn
Located on the edge of Õismäe, Cafe Lyon is a French-style café, restaurant and bakery where the morning begins with the aroma of fresh pastries and a cosy café atmosphere. Cafe Lyon opened on Meistri Street in 2013 and has since become a familiar place for many Tallinn locals to enjoy breakfast, coffee or a sweet break.

One of Cafe Lyon’s greatest strengths is its own bakery. From early morning, real butter croissants, baguettes, kringels, cakes, éclairs and other bakery and pastry products are prepared on site. Head baker Roman Klotsihhin always adds something distinctive to the pastries, and Lyon’s éclairs have become a favourite for many people in Tallinn.

For breakfast, Cafe Lyon offers a varied selection — porridge, fresh croissants, freshly pressed juice, scrambled eggs with bacon, smoothies and other morning favourites. It is a good choice for those who appreciate French café culture, fresh pastries and a relaxed start to the day.

Egg dishes are made with free-range eggs, giving the food a high-quality and homely feel. Gourmet Coffee Kadriorg is a great fit for anyone looking for a breakfast spot with good coffee, a pleasant atmosphere and the chance to start the day at a calm pace.
