"Count the memories, not the calories" is their mantra and I can get behind that 100% based on the quality of the confections they're peddling. The kauppahalli stall is adorably and overflowing with cupcakes, bars, candies, and mueslis, granolas, etc. Standout treat is the peanut butter-banana cupcake. I walk through nearly daily to pick one up. If they're out of the pb&b as I lovingly refer to my favorite food in the world, the carrot cake is also amazing. As is the meringue pie. I have it on good authority that they have American style cheesecake and I will update as soon as I've had it. Oh my god I love sweets and this is the best find ever. Don't tell, but I kind of like them even better than I like Kakku Galleria....eeek! ps - the lady who pushes the goods at the marketplace is awesome! She is funny and chatty and will remember you after just a few visits. You'll feel special. That will make you feel ok about eating tons of sweets. It's ok. You're at the kauppahalli - walk a few laps around the flea market and -bam!- calories burned.

For €12.50, you can sample as much cake as you want from their cake case, which had 15 types of cake. I was determine to sample all, but only made it to 9. My favorite surprisingly was their Laku-Sitruuna (salted licorice & lemon) cake. I found the flavors interesting and balanced. It's a great cake for those that don't like sweet desserts. Overall, I found most of their fruity cakes to be light in texture. The chocolate was delicious as well. If I had to choose a cake I didn't care for, it would be the mocha. I thought it was fine but it didn't impress me like some of the other slices I sampled. In addition, the cake buffet gives you a choice of either coffee or tea. If you want a refill, it will cost you extra. I didn't realize it when I asked for a coffee refill, but it's only just €1 extra. Not too bad. Overall, it's a great place to get your sweet tooth on in a quiet, relaxing cake shop.

They definitely don't skimp on salmon - large tender chunks. Soup was creamy but not too rich. A variety of bread along with whipped butter and pumpkin spread.

Inside, the café has a cozy, lively, and relaxing atmosphere that makes it an inviting place to spend time. The café offers a salmon soup buffet along with a wide selection of pastries, sandwiches, and salads. The restaurant, on the other hand, is well known for its reindeer dishes. I really loved the location, which is perfect to visit during a day of sightseeing or as a stop between exploring Helsinki. Personally, I enjoyed the café more than the restaurant. While it isn't fine dining, the café offers healthy, simple dishes and a great variety of local favorites. The restaurant has a good selection of menu options; however, aside from the reindeer dish, I found the other items to be quite salty. The service throughout our visit was very good.

Their sandwiches are fantastic! The choices are endless and all ingredients are fresh and yummy. All sandwiches are made to order so no need to fear for a soggy bread roll. Also their coffee is of good quality and so are their salads that are popular among the hungry businessmen and -women who come here for lunch. I like to come here for a late breakfast or brunch, or to just grab a sandwich on the go when in a hurry.
