South Kurzeme offers to open a café in your backyard — in Riga they'd demand a license and two loans for that
While cafés in the capital cost like small countries, South Kurzeme reveals a revolutionary concept — you can actually brew coffee at home too.
South Kurzeme municipality today announced a sensational initiative — Home Café Days, where local residents can transform their homesteads into cafés. While in Riga such entrepreneurship would require a license, food certificate, fire safety permit and two more loans, in our municipality good intentions and grandma's recipes are enough.
The event will take place over four weekends in various territories — from Rucava to Grobiņa, allowing visitors to embark on a culinary journey that will be more interesting than any Riga restaurant with a menu nobody can read. Local enthusiast Jānis Kalniņš comments: "My wife makes pancakes that are better than anything offered by the cafés on Rose Square. Why not make some money from it?"
Homeowners are invited to a meeting on April 21st in Grobiņa, where they'll explain how to turn an ordinary farmyard into a tourist magnet. While opening a café in Riga is a business plan with investors and consultants, here it's enough that you can brew good coffee at home and aren't ashamed to show your garden.
It's a great opportunity to prove that in South Kurzeme hospitality isn't a paid service, but a natural trait. And unlike the capital's cafés, here nobody will ask you to pay 15 euros for an avocado toast that looks like a work of art but tastes like cardboard.
