Why not go for a coffee and maybe a small snack somewhere in the center? One recommendable place is…read moreKiasma Café. The centrally located café at the entrance of Kiasma Museum for contemporary art has its very own atmosphere. The interior is simple and just gets some color through the neon green plastic chairs at each of the metal tables. The big windows allow you to look towards Lasipalatsi and Mannerheimintie. So it's a good location to sit down and watch people, cars and busses passing by on the street. The stuff is friendly and the food is good. You should try the sandwich with traditional bread from Lapland. It's delicious. And while you are there why not also take a look at the recent exhibition of Kiasma?

Was here 21 years ago with my husband. Wanted to come back to celebrate him. so very sorry to have…read moreexperienced such hostile service. We made resvations as we had been told the crowds had gotten large since ownership had recently changed. The only thing that had changed was how unkind to staff was. The lady with the fuschia hair was very kind and so helpful much to the dismay of the two other women. The two women with the darker hair - one had a pony tail( acted like the manager) - so rude openly laughed at is for our accents when we said thank you. - Very heartbreaking as this place held such charming and important memories.

A great stop off for coffee & treats if you're in the neighborhood!…read more We stopped here for a quick take away coffee before we headed off to see some sights, but we succumbed to some pastries as well after seeing them in the display cases. Delicious! The strawberry croissant-like thing on the counter was particularly good - there was a slight sugary glaze on the berries that made them utterly delectable. Prices were fair, ok for Helsinki standards (1,95 for the large strawberry pastry), and the coffee was decent as well. There was also a nice selection of options for coffee fixings out on the counter - different milks and creams, and both white and brown sugar. Service was a little slow as there was only one person working, but certainly not the worst compared to some other places in the city. If you're walking by, don't hesitate to stop by and get a little sugar or caffeine derived energy!

The pistachio thing tasted like cream on top of a roll of something. I thought it was not bad but the creme was not sweet at all which was interesting. The roll tasted more like straight up bread which was not what I was expecting! The chocolate pastry thing was small but very dense. That one was more sweet. The inside was very moist. There is also free water that you can get on the side as well.

Delivo is my local cafe of choice. I've eaten there countless times since around 2006. The place is…read morecozy, so I really prefer visiting in spring or summer when the terrace is open. Sitting inside it gets pretty crowded -- both downstairs and upstairs -- and there are so many regular customers that I hypothesize are permanently attached to the inside tables. Delivo publishes their daily lunch menu on their website, but I rarely check it -- they always have hearty salads with many toppings to choose from, so I take that if I'm not feeling the lunch specials. My favorite salad here is smoked salmon with goat cheese -- massive toppings! They also offer soupe du jour -- both their tomato soup and borsch are extremely flavorful. The artisan bread on the side is fantastic. So if you find yourself in Munkkiniemi, and weather allowing, drop by Delivo and grab some affordable, tasty lunch to enjoy on the terrace!
