Welcome to the Fotografiska Tallinn Ground Floor Café, an enchanting spot that seamlessly combines art, culture, and culinary delight in the vibrant heart of Tallinn. Located within the prestigious Fotografiska framework at Telliskivi tn 60a-8, this café is more than just a place to grab a bite; it's a haven for art lovers, food enthusiasts, and anyone looking to enjoy a relaxed atmosphere.

The moment you step inside, you'll be captivated by the café's inviting ambiance, bathed in natural light and adorned with lush greenery. This carefully curated environment creates an uplifting backdrop that sparks creativity and conversation. Customers, like Tommy Carstensen, have noted the great vibe complemented by chilled music, making it the perfect spot to unwind, chat, or even enjoy a thoughtful escape from the outside world.

The menu features a diverse array of offerings, ideal for both a quick lunch or leisurely breakfast. Patrons rave about the delicious omelet and freshly baked sourdough. For the sweet-toothed, the almond croissant is a must-try. Ekaterina Belova, a satisfied customer, fondly recalls her delightful experience, particularly praising their excellent quality Papermill coffee, that even comes in a decaf option.

However, if you're planning to settle in for longer work or study sessions, take note that the evenings can get quite crowded, as Daniela Esquivel Romero mentions. While the atmosphere is fantastic, availability of power outlets is limited, so plan accordingly if that’s a priority for your visit.

The café is notably family-friendly, providing spaces for strollers and kids, as well as toys to keep the little ones entertained—a feature praised by visitors like Tommy.

Good coffee. The cheesecake was delicious. The atmosphere is great with a lot of natural light and plants, however not the best place to work/study in the evening since it might get a little bit too crowded, and there are only a couple of power outlets. Besides that it was great.

Great cafeteria for a quick lunch for a good price. They have daily lunch menu with cheaper prices so it’s quite fast. The cafeteria has a great vibe to it. We went on a Monday so had the tagliatelle with ragú. The sauce was excellent but the tagliatelle were cut into small pieces and a bit overcooked for my taste. Other than that really liked the experience

This place has a great vibe to it. Chilled music. Lots of space to bring your bicycle and park it inside. Food nice. Staff friendly. Photo exhibition you get for free on top of it all. Super happy I chose this place for my breakfast. Wheelchair accessible. Toys for kids.

Apart from the museum and the restaurant at the top, this ground floor is really great for breakie and lunch. The omelet was delicious just like their sourdough. They serve Papermill coffee which is one of my fav, and fortunately they have decaf too (it might not look that nice, like muddy water as my friend put it, but it tastes great). Previously I tried their almond croissant which was nice (but didn't win the 1st place though). The space is big and airy, a lot of different sittings, and the background music adds to a great vibe. Looking forward to my next visit - with my book or a laptop!

The place has an amazing vibe to it and is a great place to sit down and have a chat in. They also have a variety of pastries and sandwiches as well as more filling meals. I personally recommend to try the almond croissant which paired well with their iced latte.

After visiting the exhibitions one can need a break for a drink or small/big bite. And this place delivers for all needs. In our case we were happy with home made ice tea with rooibos and a pastel de nata with sea buckthorn. Both were delicious. A lot of people around were eating proper lunch meals and seems this place is popular with the locals and tourists.
