There are two specialty honey stores in Riga, Latvia but I prefer Riga Medus Honey Store which is smaller and less well known. In fact, it is so untouristed that the staff doesn’t speak English! The store owner is a third-generation honey specialist who strict honey quality standards set by the Latvian government.
What Can You Buy at the Riga Medus Honey Store?
See and sample a myriad of honey types and honey byproducts including remedies, wax candles, sweets, and cosmetics. The store literally glows amber with the products in gold, yellow, and shades of brown. One of the most interesting things in the Riga Medus Honey Store is the range of equipment and clothing for honey farmers. You can buy bee wax, bee pollen, oils, teas, and even honey suppositories!

Consider that it costs absolutely nothing to browse through Medus Store. You’ll rub shoulders with locals and even find unique souvenirs to take home. not many tourists wander down the lane where the Medus Store is located. But if you spend some time looking in the nearby stores and restaurants you’ll find some hidden gems. I discovered a nearby kosher restaurant and an excellent second-hand store.Medus Honey Shop will not disappoint! If you’re interested in other unique Riga attractions click here.
