Old Town, Cathedral Square
Stebuklai | Katedra
A pioneer of Vilnius brunch culture and a Michelin Guide fixture since 2018, Stebuklai ('miracles') sits across from the Cathedral with panoramic windows and a terrace built for lingering.
Vilnius keeps it warm and homely — rye bread, curd, and cafés in the old town's cobbled lanes.

Backstage Café
Roasting since 2017, Backstage helped give Vilnius its specialty-coffee spine — locals swear the whole city knows the smell of their cinnamon buns. A small, artfully cluttered room you enter for fifteen minutes and leave an hour later.
