Spurginė
A Soviet-era doughnut shop on Laisvės Avenue, where you can stand at the bar and enjoy freshly fried doughnuts with coffee, offering cheap eats and a nostalgic vibe.
The shop's name comes from the Lithuanian word for doughnut, spurga. With a modest storefront, the interior features a long bar, wooden paneling, and an oil painting of a jaguar. Mostly frequented by locals, the travel magazine Wanderlust describes it as an unaltered relic of the Soviet era. Freshly made curd doughnuts are available in sweet flavors like jam and savory options like chicken; some customers pair them with chicken broth or tea. During peak hours, the queue can stretch out the door. Reviews note it is cash-only. Located on the Laisvės Avenue pedestrian street, it is easily accessible and perfect for a quick snack.
