11 editor picks in Vilnius.
11 bakeries in Vilnius, editor-picked for bakeries open sunday. Bakeries baking on sundays. All bakeries in Vilnius.
Pinavija on Vilniaus is a family-run Lithuanian bakery cafe known for hot kibinai pastries, šakotis tree cake and brunch in a softly-French Old Town corner.
TipIndoor seating fills early on weekends. A šakotis to-go travels home well in checked luggage.
Grudas inside Senatorių Pasažas bakes Lithuanian sourdough and pastries from Lithuanian-grown flour, with a daily-changing pastry menu in the courtyard.
TipInside the Senatorių Pasažas complex along with 14Horses and Nineteen18. The sourdough loaf is the standing order.
Holy Donut on Vokiečių bakes handmade donuts and large bagels, with one of the bigger vegan-donut selections in Vilnius for the Old Town brunch crowd.
TipVegan glaze sells out fastest on Sundays. Bagel sandwiches at lunch are the better lunch order.
AJ Šokoladinė on Pilies makes handmade Belgian-tradition truffles and hot chocolate at its Old Town brand store. Sit by the window for a slow Vilnius.
TipThe hot chocolate is thick enough to stand a spoon in. A box of truffles travels home in winter.
Holy Donut's Vilniaus branch sits a block from Pinavija on the same shopping street, with the same handmade donuts and bigger bagels at a quieter counter.
TipLess queue than the Vokiečių original. The chocolate-glaze donut is the consistent best-seller here.
Cake Shop on Trakų is a small patisserie producing seasonal tarts, mousse cakes and patisserie classics to order in a Senamiestis side-street counter.
TipOrder whole cakes 48 hours in advance; the seasonal slice case turns over weekly.
Halės Bistro inside the main hall of the 1906 market makes fresh bagels, vegan plates and quick lunch trays alongside the produce stalls and butcher counters.
TipCheap, fast and good. Quiet on weekday mornings before the lunch rush from Naujamiestis offices.
Gusto Blynine on Aušros Vartų cooks Lithuanian pancakes including bulvių blynai, sweet curd-cheese varškės blynai and savoury versions from a small counter.
TipEat in or take away; cooking is to order so allow ten minutes for the bulvių blynai.
Mama Pica on A. Stulginskio bakes daily cinnamon rolls, sourdough loaves and small Lithuanian pastries in a small neighbourhood cafe-counter on the strip.
TipCinnamon rolls fresh from the oven at 10:00. Sells out by mid-afternoon on weekends.
Augustas ir Barbora is a Stiklių cafe and bakery known for pavlovas, soft sponge cakes and brunch plates served under a flower-decorated ceiling.
TipReserve a window seat on weekends; the flower wall is a magnet for groups and photographers.
Keulė Rūkė on Stiklių is a stop for Lithuanian smoked-pork buns built around the city's anti-Soviet political-art tradition, in a small open-counter cafe.
TipA snack stop, not a meal. The mural reading is half the visit.
