Third location. Dessert shop/tea room cafe has a cozy atmosphere and offers coffee and tea with plant milks, and some vegan baked sandwiches and desserts, plus a wide variety of vegan cakes. Sells Chaika handmade chocolate, tea, and house coffee. Mostly vegan except for dairy milk option. English language menu available. Please note it is almost always full so you might need to wait a bit for a table. Open Mon-Sun 10:00-20:00.

Impressive, worth coming back to Kaunas just to chill here. - Edit
I'm 8 years vegan and to be honest it's hard to impress me with vegan food these days, however, the cakes at this cafe were next level. As I don't like too sweet, the owner (French guy) advised me which one to pick and the blueberry/cookie was a winner. The pulled jackfruit sandwich was also amazing!

I had a delicious coffee with pea milk (yum!) and a cranberry cake (sorry, forgot to take photos, I practically inhaled the cake, that's how good it was). Highly recommend! 🤤

All vegan, great desserts - Edit
I do not know why it is marked as "vegetarian". Because CHAIKA always was and is 100 % VEGAN.
Read moreThey make delicious cupcakes and cakes. Latte is also great. You can usually choose your milk (all plant based).
And they recently went soya free as well. Which is great for me with soya allergy!
Pros: All vegan, Very delicious cupcakes, Coconut cream instead of soya
Cons: Price

We absolutely loved this vegetarian cafe which had various options of plant-based milk (soya, almond, etc). All the cakes were vegan, we tried the lime cake and the blueberry one and both were delicious. Also loved the idea of metal straws ☺️ Highly recommend!

Delicious sandwich! - Edit
Vegetarian restaurant with a lot of vegan options. We tried a jackfruit-avocado-veggie sandwich (€4,50). It was quite busy but the interior and also terrace is spacious so it was not annoying. We had to wait 20 minutes (told on forehand) but it was definitely worth it. The sandwich was really tasty and copious! We had a similar good experience with Chaika in Vilnius. Nice concept!

Great place! - Edit
Chaika is a cosy cafe in the middle of Kaunas old town. If the weather is good, they have tables not only outside but some outside as well. The menu is mostly focused on large variety of teas, coffees and desserts but they also serve a few light meals, such as sandwiches. Everything in the menu is vegetarian and most of the things are vegan-friendly. For example, most if not all fancy cakes are vegan which makes Chaika the best place in Kaunas to deal with one's vegan cake addiction.
Read moreI would give Chaika five starts if they switch to being 100% vegan and stop charging additional fee for plant milks (now it's 0.3€ extra). Despite that, the place is highly recommended, so please visit them if you are in the old town.
Pros: tasty, wide selection of desserts, cosy
Cons: extra charge for plant milk, not completely vegan
kryska
They are not charging extra for the milk anymore! I visited them 2022 June.
