This is dangerous since I am of the belief that if I'm a good girl at the doctor, I should get a prize. My prize of choice? The apple puff pastry and chocolate croissants. Oh MY YUM. They are featuring apple right now and to be perfectly honest, they may be going a bit overboard: I don't really want EVERYTHING to be apple-laden everyday (oops! Did I just admit I go there almost everyday?) but it's delicious just the same. My real favorites are their cookies and their chocolate croissants. The health conscious me says the croissants are a good mix between between buttery flakiness and a little chocolate. The pregnant me says PUT SOME MORE CHOCOLATE IN YOUR CROISSANTS NOW. They're still outstanding. The bread is amazing - they're now working with a local brewery to make what my husband says is an outstanding beer bread. On top of all that, it's our quaint and sweet neighborhood bakery and the people running the shop are very nice. It's both very fortunate and very dangerous that Kanniston Leipomo is located approximately 2 minutes walking distance from our house.

Service was a little slow and she didn't seem sure about what some items were on the menu. At the end managed to get what I wanted ! I went with the bubbly and a glistening looking chocolate croissant. Both were fantastic and the bubbles works well with the chocolate!! I normally would do coffee and they had some great options but was feeling the bubbles. Nice flaky pastry that you can layer through, my favorite kind. Chill atmosphere, lots of people working or Sunday morning coffee folks. Family's out . Mixed bag of people. Nice clean place though and great pastry option. Some savory breakfast type stuff too. Great little find !

This place is literally a gem. Meant to be a cupcake shop from the same owners of Brooklyn Café, you will find a variety of cakes, sweets and a nice cup of coffee here. If you prefer, you can order and get your cakes to go - and even cater an event! I stopped here for a couple of hours to enjoy a nice magazine in Swedish (yes, it did take me over an hour to read it, but I made it), and have their specialty: Red Velvet Cupcake. Decor is adorable, staff is super nice, and I had a fabulous relaxing time. They don't have WiFi, but if you need to work on your computer just walk two blocks to their big brother.

Brklyn Bakery is owned by the Todd sisters - own the Brooklyn cafe you know? - and they do know how to treat our taste bums! I'm not lying when I say that they make the best cupcakes in Finland! Stop by and take some sweets home with you! You can also place an order for a bigger order. Oh yea, almost forgot! Go to Brooklyn Cafe if you haven't been there yet!

We tried three different things here and I'm sorry that I don't know their names, not even in English. A baked something with a rice center that was quite moist. A "danish" pastry with a blueberry center that was sweet and very delicious. And a baked rye and cinnamon item that was almost savory. Interesting. Very tasty to try the Finnish treats for sure!

Secondly, they have a great selection of pastries all of which I recommend. Particularly, the pink raspberry filled donut, and the vanilla pastry (can't remember the actual names) are delicious. Alternatively, if you want a simple croissant (the also have apple ones) this is a good place to come to. They also sell baguettes here, so it's a good place to come to and pick one up if you're planning on wandering around Helsinki the whole day!
