American visiting Helsinki here. I woke up at 4:30AM this morning jet lagged AF, so naturally I…read morestarted "the scroll" to find places near my Air BnB that might help fuel me through. Sävy was a short walk, and the coffee shop I found that opened the earliest. Though it's listed as being open at 7:30, they actually open at 8am. I showed up at 7:47, and happily waited the extra 13 minutes until they invited me in. (What else am I going to fucking do with 13 minutes?). I ordered a breakfast combo that included a croissant, granola/yogurt bowl, and upgraded my coffee drink to a double cappuccino. The barista asked me what perfume I was wearing because apparently I smelled good. I remarked that it may have been the woman ahead of me, but it happened to be the dude's girlfriend, so he was pretty sure it wasn't her. I wasn't wearing a fragrance but the air BnB had a Linden Blossom bath wash...anyways. I was feeling good about smelling good even though I felt like shit. I digress I was stupid hungry, so I demolished that croissant before my coffee drink and granola bowl was ready. It was buttery, flaky, fresh and delicious. "On point" as the kids say. I was too tired to remember to order oat milk with my coffee, so I drank it with whole milk. It was rich, and chocolately like I like my coffee drinks. I might pay for the whole milk later, but it couldn't be worse than the airline food I had yesterday. So fuck it. The granola bowl with yogurt was legit. Breakfast here just hits different. The presentation was great, and it had the perfect ratio of fruit, honey, and cinnamon. I had a little more time to kill so I ordered another single cappuccino with oatmilk this time (internally convincing myself it would offset the whole milk drink) it was also delicious. Additionally, they have a pretty dope music playlist, wi-fi, and cool art on the walls. I'll be coming back every morning until my stay here is up. Kiitos, Sävy

The service is laid-back and friendly and it is really a nice place to hang out in. It is sort of outside the city center but if you happen to be in the area it is a must to visit and I would say for anyone interested in coffee it is a definite stop if you happen to be in Helsinki.

I was hoping to get a pastry here and while they had a few there wasn't anything that made me want to try it. They had a couple of savory breakfast options. Service was good and I got my hot cappuccino pretty quick. I sat outside with a nice view of the boats and water. Good people watching spot. Nice cozy place. Was a little disappointed with the food selection though.

This is a tough call, but their neighboring rival La Torrefazione in Kluuvi is still the best in terms of overall quality. Kuuma has the best takeaway cups though - much better than anywhere else. However, they need to try harder to reach the level of other places. Coffee is good, attitude seems complacent. Go here for excellent takeaway coffee, but go somewhere else if you intend to sit down for a more pleasurable, customer-focused experience. Kuuma = great takeout coffee, but not worth a stay.
