Date of visit: 9/4/2024…read more As much as I want to love this cafe, I find it really hard to do so while swallowing my overly salted reindeer stew. Came here to see what the hype is all about and ordered what were highly recommended by other yelpers: the reindeer stew and Blueberry mascarpone pie. The Blueberry mascarpone pie is definitely a YES for me. I was debating between this and the lingonberry cake and was told that the blueberry mascarpone pie is more Finnish and most popular. Hence the choice! The reindeer stew on the other hand, is definitely not for me! The mashed potatoes is lumpy and the stew is way too salty, even when it's consumed with the mashed potatoes. On the positive side however, I rate this dish better than the one I had at the higher end restaurant with the price tag doubled than this one. The meat smell is less prominent and it is more tender. As today is my last day in Helsinki, today will also be my last day of consuming reindeer. I really don't like it so I don't think I will ever eat reindeer again in my life...well, at least until one day I go to Lapland to see Northern Lights *crossfingers* For now, this is it with Reindeer! PS Bought lingonberry cake to-go to try. Not bad, but def Blueberry Mascarpone pie hands down!

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.

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.

One roll was adorably heart shaped and the breakfast was very generous and filling. We shared a freshly baked cinnamon bun too and it was wonderful.
