Walking along Market Square in the harbor, I was browsing for a place to have lunch and settled on…read morea crepe. Although not a fan of blue cheese, I decided to take a chance on the Ham & Blue Cheese. Like all the restaurants here, there was a small tent set up nearby. Unfortunately, the small tables were set over cobblestones which made eating difficult. A nearby table chose coffee and accidentally spilled it when theirs hobbled. Once I placed my foot on the table, it reduced any movement especially when I was cutting the crepe. I enjoyed their take on a ham & cheese sandwich with the blue cheese. The crepe was definitely a lot of food for lunch as I barely finished half of it. I would not be surprised if a single crepe were shared among couples.

Food: Ordered special fresh strawberry crepe (off-the-menu) based on recommendation from staff…read more Filled with powdered sugar & lemon juice and topped with sliced strawberries & whipped cream. Lemon juice added a nice, acidic contrast to the sweetness of the crepe and strawberries. Crepe was light and fluffy, but could've used a bit more whipped cream . Cost 8 euros. Staff: Girls who took order were friendly. Had a reasonable wait (5-10 minutes) for 1 crepe considering all tables filled. 3 euro bottle of water was overpriced. Not all seats are covered, which can lead to issues. A bird pooped on me while I was eating! Bottom Line: Tasty crepe but a bit on the expensive side. Still the best food in this market area.

We stumbled upon this place completely by accident and have been regular visitors ever since. An…read moreold fisherman's cottage by the sea has been transformed into a thriving little café that helps youth get that all important work experience. It's not just the fresh coffee, hot tea and oven-fresh korvapuusti (Finnish cinnamon scrolls) that keep us coming back, although these are perfectly good reasons to drop in! The staff here are all trainees from the city's youth program, and so get exposure to both catering operations and customer service. Everything here is prepared by the employees for sale in the café. The location is peaceful, hidden away in the forest close to the Pikku Kallahti and across the road from Kallahti beach. The summer terrace is shaded, popular with cyclists, dog walkers and pram-pushing parents alike. Come winter time, squeeze into one of the big communal tables in the back room and thaw out over a variety of reading materials. + Never too crowded. - Sometimes the staff are not so friendly, give them a chance though.

I need a cup of coffee daily. That doesn't change when I'm on vacation!…read more This was a cute cafe we popped into for a nice cup of coffee. We didn't eat, but they had a nice variety of baked goods and sandwiches. We just wanted a simple coffee with cream. The coffee was lovely and flavorful.

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
