  • Quality pastries: Daigas Bakery is known for its high-quality pastries that are among the best in the region and even in Latvia.
  • Cozy atmosphere: The bakery is located in a small courtyard and has a cozy interior with only two tables that can accommodate up to eight people.
  • Sklandrausis: Daigas Bakery serves a traditional Latvian dish called Sklandrausis, a sweet pie made of rye dough filled with potato and carrot paste and seasoned with caraway, which is worth trying. Additionally, the prices are budget-friendly, and there is a high chance that you will be served by the baker herself, Daiga.

Daigas Bakery (Daigas beķereja) is one of my favourite bakery places in Kuldiga. The reason is plain simple - the pastries Daiga and her team is baking here are one of the best in the whole region and I'm not afraid to say - they are among the best in Latvia.

Discovered by accident in the summer of 2014, Daigas Bakery has found its way to my heart instantly. When I'm visiting the town of Kuldīga - Daigas bakery is a must-have. And I mean it!

Although a sklandrausis is a part of traditional Latvian cuisine I first tried it just a year ago, and indeed it happened at Daigas bakery. It's filling is made from grated carrots. Here is a bit better explanation of what Sklandrausis actually is:

Sklandrausis is a traditional dish in Latvian cuisine which has a Livonian origin, but it is known by Latvians for many years. It is a sweet pie, made of rye dough and filled with potato and carrot paste and seasoned with a caraway. Read: Sklandrausis

I'm not a huge fan of them. But if you are up for trying something authentic try a sklandrausis.

Daigas Bakery indeed is one of my favourite places in Kuldīga, it's budget-friendly, and prices here are really democratic. Best of all - there is a great chance that you will be served by the baker Daiga herself. Enjoy!
