… the prices at Ķuze. It’s a lovely place. But 2.10Ls for a small cup of hot chocolate? For that I could have a perfectly good lunch at Foodbox, or—more to the point—the Boulangerie Bonjour next door

… Foodbox, at Dzirnavu iela 31-1a, close to the junction with Antonijas. It’s plain, cheap and friendly, and the food (kebabs) is fabulous. Good tangy meat, fresh bread and veg, the very nicest staff. I’m there for lunch almost every day

The Air Baltic airport shuttle is good, but not good enough to erase happy memories of the 22A airport bus. Wouldn’t it be better to have a stop near the Reval Latvija? Wouldn’t it be better to post signs and timetables at all the stops? And wouldn’t 2Ls be a better price? That way two people travelling together would be much less tempted to take a taxi.

I’m going to be a regular at Boulangerie Bonjour, a new French cafe at 22 Jēkaba iela, between Ķuze and the bookshop. The 1.30Ls soup takeaway is a gift. The 0.60Ls coffee and croissant breakfast is a steal. The 1Ls slice of quiche is a feast
