About the cafe
A tea room on Strēlnieku iela, in the heart of Riga’s Quiet Centre
Art Cafe Sienna sits at Strēlnieku iela 3 in Centrs, Riga’s Central District. The official page describes it as a home of steaming hot coffee, tea pots, fresh snacks and tempting pastries — a compact cafe and tea room rather than a large restaurant.
Guests come here after walking Alberta iela and the Art Nouveau streets nearby. Directly across the road is Strēlnieku iela 4a, Mikhail Eisenstein’s 1905 façade, now home to the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga. Reviews often mention the view, the antique interior, and the books and magazines set out for reading with coffee or tea.
The kitchen and pastry case are known for cakes, cheesecake, honey cake, éclairs, quiche, pies and vegetarian-friendly small plates. Drinks include coffee — cappuccino and latte are named by guests — tea served in a proper pot, wine, champagne and cocktails. A typical visit falls in the €5–€10 range.

“The coziest cafe I have ever been in. Had a glass of port here with my partner and sat down to read a book I had with me. The atmosphere was so relaxing and the music was nice and calming. Service was excellent, extremely polite.”
“Quite busy, I took a seat at the terrace facing one of the post-modernist buildings. Pleasure to look at! The dessert was fabulous! A mixture of tastes and textures. The porcelain cup and saucer was something else.”

Cafe experience
Coffee, cakes and a room full of books
Guests describe a quiet, stylish place to linger: antique furniture, gold-toned rooms, porcelain, and shelves of books and magazines. Music is mentioned as calming. It is a dine-in cafe first, with takeaway if you need to leave with coffee or cake.
In warmer months, outdoor seats on Strēlnieku iela look toward Eisenstein’s blue-tiled façade. Inside, the listing and reviews point to a cozy, casual, intimate tea-room atmosphere rather than a fast coffee counter.
