This place is so small that customers almost start piling up. The very fact that it gets so cosy…read moreinside shows how delicious their sweet treats are. Even if you might not be crazy for the "brown gold", you should get a cup of their ice-cream that comes in three different flavours: white chocolate, dark chocolate or milk chocolate with liquorice - heavenly light and creamy and thousands of crispy chocolate bits inside! Each cup is 4,30 € and, thus, not more expensive than ice-cream from any other parlour in Finland (one scoop between 2 and 3 € is the rule, not the exception!). I usually do not crave for chocolates, but if a unique flavour comes along, I seldom refuse. The lingonberry chocolates caught my curious eye and I totally enjoyed the white chocolate coating and the light pink lingonberry filling. It had a very nice and delicate nutty flavour that reminded me of wheat bran :o)! Much to my regret, 4 chocolates were 3,40 €. So pampering yourself at Pieni Suklaatehdas (or Swedish: Lilla Chokladfabriken) will always be on the pricey side. Nevertheless, if you ever go to lovely Porvoo, which is a must when travelling Finland, walk to the cathedral and just a few steps further you will be in front of this little paradise of chocolate!

Good coffee and desserts. They also sell sandwiches but I only had an espresso and dessert…read more If you come in with more than 3 people and want espresso based coffees it will take a while since they appear to have a single-serve espresso machine (commercial but like something you would have at home). Recommend if you are in the area and want a sweet treat.

Chjoko in Kruunuhaka is THE place for chocolate lovers. The small shop offers a pretty impressive…read moreselection of classic and extraordinary chocolate products. And almost all of it is self-made. Try their heavenly pralines, cakes and petit fours. And don't miss out on their macarons! They are some of the best I've ever had. Of course there is also chocolate ice cream. You're saying chocolate ice cream is boring? Then you haven't tried the ones at Chjoko. They have several different versions all based on either white, milk or dark chocolate combined with some spicy or fruity flavors. Oh, and if you are a real chocolate fan you might want to come to their Saturday Chocolate Brunch where you can try and eat as much as you can for just 16 €.

A very fitting city for having coffee with desserts and snacks - 2 of 2…read more Fazer, or Karl Fazer, is one of the best known coffeehouse and dessert places in the Finnish capital. It appears there might be more than one location, with a few being almost too close to each other. I was trying to figure out which one is the main location. Once you find it, you will know that this is the feather in the cap of the Fazer brand. This Fazer coffeehouse is not just about getting something warm to drink and eat. It's an experience. This is a large Art Deco cafe' where they didn't skimp on decking out the exterior and the interior to be true to the genre and, of the places to sit, I wound up seating under a slightly domed glass ceiling that was beautiful, so it was no wonder I gravitated toward that part of the interior. They sell coffee, tea, and cakes, but also have sandwiches, chocolate, candy, and more. There are more bins and shelves with goods than you'd expect in a coffeehouse. They were slightly crowded a little later in the evening, but not excessively so. The service here was a little more curt than that at Roasberg, but they got the job done. I had a slice of berry flavored cake and a cup of decaf coffee since it was a little later in the evening. As soon as I saw Fazer's exterior and went inside, I knew that it would be a little more expensive. It's your job to restrain yourself and not treat it like a restaurant with a series of courses, instead opting for a hot drink and something sweet or savory. If the service was a little more upbeat and the prices were slightly more reasonable, it would get 5 stars from me. However, with what I drank and ate being good and with this being such a unique experience, it easily gets 4 stars. I'd gladly return if in this city again and I recommend visiting this landmark coffeehouse.

Very cute and modern looking cafe. Seating inside and outdoors available…read more Only a short walk from Hotel Arthur, Scandic Red, and the subway station. When you walk in you are greeted by a display case that shows an array of parties and cake slices. Staff was very friendly. I didn't spend much time browsing as I only had my eye on the prize- passion fruit cheesecake! Unlike an American style cheesecake, this had the texture of a mousse with a thin crust. The passion fruit flavor was lovely and a real treat. Can't wait to go back and try more items.

They had savoury pies like quiche as well as really beautiful cakes like the caramel cream pie that I tried. I also got a pot of white peach tea and the clerk was very helpful is choosing what type of tea I wanted. They also allow animals inside and very friendly, fast service. It was a great place to stop and rest during our day trip to Porvoo.
