Beautiful parlor-like setting in an old home or bank building (safe in basement holds supplies)…read moreoutside of the old town area. Far fewer tourists here, which is a plus for me (also a tourist). A wonderful team of ladies taking orders from their fully stocked refrigerated cases, where you pay, they fill your tray, then you select the seats you want. You can reserve seats like big upholstered chairs for two by a window. Our cafe seating was just fine. Ordered ham and cheese quiche plus a Karelian pastry with a rice-egg porridge in the middle. I liked it better than the quiche. It was so rich in flavor, you could probably only eat one. Buy more for later at home. The coffee was perfection and their soup-bowl sized cups were perfect for burying your face in each sip. If you are hitting old town, carve out an hour to savor this gem. Settle in, shut off those phones, and talk. Good gluten-free, dairy-free options!

Walking around the town doesn't take too long (2 hours), so it's nice to have a place to kill some time/get out of the cold/heat, and grab some nice coffee/drink and kick up your legs. This GEM of a cafe/bar is right under the main overpass/road into town. The downstairs area is bustling and cozy, but the upstairs area is the really cute place so I definitely recommend everyone to go up there to check it out after you get your wine/coffee/etc. It's got a great wooden decor inside, a really romantic vibe, but I could see it getting my happening at night/on the weekend nights. There were seriously like 3 couples on coffee dates there. I've heard the coffee here is great but didn't have any, just had a nice glass of red wine. One thing I'd say is that it gets really crowded/long line when a big crowd walks in, they should probably figure out an easier way to serve people. BTW, this place was listed in Lonely Planet, and normally I don't love all their suggestions but this place is definitely worthy, especially for a smaller town like this.

This pleasant little summer cafe in a residential neighborhood of Helsinki is really a pleasant…read moreaddition to an already good coffee scene. It is in the basement of a house and has a few tables inside and plenty of seats outside, they serve excellent coffee under the supervision of the talented Finnish Barista Champion Kalle Freese. The coffee has been from Blue bottle in San Francisco but upon my last visit it was instead from Square Mile. Nice to see some variety in what is offered. When Kalle is working they do hand brewed coffee but there is also espresso based beverages as well as batch brewed filter coffee. They also have some wine on offer. The setting is very nice and relaxing and the service is pleasant albeit a bit slow. They do some very nice pastries and a real fresh and nice brunch with yogurt, fruit and granola, avocado on toast and a 63 degree egg. A place well worth visiting before they close at the end of Summer (hopefully they open next summer again).

It has gotten a fair amount for good publicity lately, and fair not, this gem also delivers. The atmosphere is happy and positive, and of course you get excellent coffee here. A café run by the passion for the art and making everyone happier deserves every one of the five stars. Any criticism? Not really. Arrive by bike, as there isn't much parking around. But even that is a positive, isn't it?

Outdoor seating gives a view of the old Porvoo town and is very relaxing. Do try the Runeberg cake - you must since Porvoo is the place where it was created. Runeberg torte (Finnish: runebergintorttu; Swedish: Runebergstårta) is a Finnish torte flavored with almonds and arrack or rum and weighing about 100 grams. It usually has raspberry jam encircled by a ring of icing on top.
