Café since 1895

Situated on the corner of Ülikooli Street, the café has historically hosted famous writers, poets, actors, musicians, artists, and chess players, who would gather over coffee to exchange ideas, debate, and, of course, create.

The prominent Estonian writer and professor Gustav Suits even used to conduct exams at Werner Café.

Such a beautiful and cozy atmosphere, especially on the second floor. A perfect place to slow down for a moment, enjoy a warm drink, and get a little creative.

Üks vähestest söögikohtadest Tartus, mis on säilitanud oma ajaloolist hõngu… Linna ühed parimad koogid, tordid ja kohvikukultuur on just seal.
