Berg Bazaar was Riga’s answer to the big trading arcades of Europe. Originally a high society living and shopping area, it still carries a bit of that vibe. Quiet place with great, reasonably priced restaurants, Latvian fashion, design and bakeries. Also an eco food market!

It's located in a bookstore so before having your favorite coffee and chocolate you can grab a book as well. No one will be skeptical if you sit in for too long. Take your time and indulge, maybe even grab a souvenir to-go as well?

"The River" is more than a great CD/DVD/Vinyl store with a smart taste in music, boasting a great wine selection and coffee. Drop by for an intelligent conversation with people who love their trade. We'd say in some way "Upe" recreates the feel from Cameron Crowe's “Almost Famous” movie about rock'n'roll.

Run by a beer enthusiast, the conversation is as good as the products. In fact you might end up staying and enjoying your purchase at the counter and improving your knowledge of all things beer related. It is also one of the few place to find some specific Latvian and Estonian microbrews.

In is soma days when a factory produces chocolate and the wind is blowing from right side surrounding streets fills up with chocolate aroma. Bitter, sweetish aroma. I suggest starting aroma hunting from Palidzibas street. Not every day you can get the smell. After that you take a tour of the museum and sit in a local chocolate shop.

If you want to bring home something that says "made in Latvia" then this is one of those few places to get it. I don't know what will happen when my friends will find out where I get most of the presents for them!
