There's one taste that truly heralds summer – the first strawberries. Sweet, juicy, and aromatic, they appear just as Jūrmala fills with warm air and sea breeze. At Café Bitīte, we love the rhythm of the seasons, which is why, when the first strawberries arrive, they feature in our desserts, croissants, and drinks. This is a story about how we celebrate the gift of the season.
Why the first strawberries are so special
The first berries of the season always taste brighter. They ripen at a natural pace, under the warm sun, which is why their flavor is deeper than at any other time of the year. At Café Bitīte, we choose to work with what is truly in season – because freshness and local origin make every treat authentic. The first strawberries are just such a gift that we want to share.
Strawberry desserts that smell of summer
When the first strawberries arrive, our display case becomes more colorful. Fresh berries fit perfectly into both light and more substantial desserts:
- Cakes with fresh strawberries — soft, with cream and the brightness of berries.
- Strawberry pastries — buttery and aromatic.
- Desserts with seasonal berries — light, refreshing, perfect for summer.
You can view the entire sweet selection in the patisserie collection and choose your summer favorite.
Croissants with a touch of strawberry
Our freshly baked croissants are the pride of Café Bitīte, and in season, strawberries are a perfect match – either as a filling or as a fresh accompaniment. A crispy crust and the tenderness of sweet berries is a combination you'll want to repeat. If you're a true croissant connoisseur, also read about the best croissants in Jūrmala.

Seasonal and local – that's Bitīte's philosophy
Café Bitīte is a family business founded in 2019, and we believe in one simple yet important thing: freshness and seasonality define taste. The first strawberries are not just an ingredient for our desserts – they are a sign that summer has arrived, and a reason to welcome guests with something truly special. Every treat is made on-site, with care and love.
