Brunch in Riga is a recent import that the Centre's cafe culture has taken to readily, mixing late breakfasts with all-day plates. Innocent Café on Blaumaņa iela and Rocket Bean Cafe on Miera iela anchor the weekend crowd, with LOWINE on Dzirnavu iela bringing a wine-led angle and Big Bad Bagels on Baznīcas iela covering the savoury end. For a more local start, the Centrāltirgus Pīrāgi counters at the Central Market serve filled pastries from early.
