Karl Fazer Cafe is a must visit in Helsinki as it's the first cafe in Finland that Karl Fazer…read moreopened, starting the coffee trend for the country, as Finnish people are known to drink some of the most coffee in the world! And Karl Fazer is famous for being a chocolatier, so Fazer chocolate is a must try, too. Fortunately for me, Karl Fazer Cafe was located right across from my hotel, so I had easy access to chocolate and coffee here. The cafe was very popular, and what's nice is that they are open the entire day, serving meals or something lighter. They also have a chocolate shop on one side of the cafe that you can grab and go. For one of my visits here, I tried the geisha dessert, which is a specialty, along with a Fazer mocha. They were both good, and I was pleasantly surprised that the geisha dessert was a mix of chocolate and hazelnut since the lilac color threw me off, so was afraid it would be a fruity dessert. But it turned out to be better than expected. Another visit, I tried the cinnamon bun, which was solid. It wasn't the best in town, but solid - and definitely better than anything I'd ever get back home. If you're in Helsinki, Karl Fazer is a name you'll hear - and you'll need to try the famous chocolate and pay a visit to the first cafe of the country. It's easily walking distance to many sites as it's in the city center, and has outdoor seating. Glad to have checked out a place of Finnish history.

This review is for their teeny tiny treasure trove of treats tucked away at the Sandviken…read moreKauppahalli. "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.

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!

It is a small, intimate spot with 5 2 tops, one larger table in the center and a few bar seats. During the day, Way is a cafe where you can enjoy lunch (entree of the day is 11 euros which included a slice of sourdough bread) or a cup of coffee along with their delicious baked goods. After the lunch hour, it turns into a wine bar. During shrove bun season, I was able to try their laskiaispulla and it was SO good. I already can't wait until next year :) They also recently released the crack bun which was delicious as well. Think cream puff but with a sugary top crust. It reminded me of the pineapple buns I would sometimes get at dimsum. The service is nice and attentive. Overall, I would highly recommend this spot if youre in the area :D
