It is amazing how well a sandwich can taste if it's well made. And the guys at StreetGastro now…read morethat really well. At three different locations around Helsinki they sell their "premium street food" as they call it. And that is no exaggeration. StreetGastro focuses purely on sandwiches. In fact they only have four different kinds on their menu: Possu (pork), Kana (chicken), Härkä (beef) and Vege (vegetarian). And you can't make a wrong choice. All of them are really good. With a delicious bread and lots of fresh lettuce and vegetables they these sandwiches make for an excellent snack and even a decent lunch.

Nothing can be better than lying in that yellow hammock and watching light blue summer night skies…read moreand seagulls cruising it after a marvelous Street Gastro sandwich. There is no English menu, but the staff will explain all options you have: beef, pork, chicken or vegetables only. 9 € each and knowing that portions in Finland are generally generous, I expected a huge sandwich and did not get disappointed. No matter how starved you are, you will need that hammock to relax and digest afterwards ;o). Stretching out with a full tummy feels so good! And it was a smart excuse to listen to the club lounge music they were playing much longer. So get the sandwiches, get the chilling vibes and get into Helsinki´s white summer nights!

We started with the pork and shrimp spring rolls which were freshly made and great with a homemade peanut dipping sauce. My entree was one of the best pork banh mi sandwiches I've ever had, and honestly one of the biggest too. Al had the pho sai gon, also great: a big bowl of fragrant, flavorful broth along with plenty of beef and noodles. Friendly service, good prices, tucked away off a main street. Will be coming back regularly.

This place is small but cute with good food. I am American and was unsure of what to expect from a…read moreVietnamese place in Finland. The fresh spring rolls were probably the most different item from vietnamese-american food but they were great with the peanut sauce. I ate the vegan pho in the restaurant and took home the curry for the next day. Both dishes were very flavorful and large portions. Other reviews mentioned slow service but the single waitress in the place on a busy friday night held her own. Just as I was getting antsy for my food; my spring rolls and pho arrived. I wish the rolls came first but it was a minor slip in a great dining experience.

The food is good, nothing "spectacular" or particularly fancy, but filling! And the price is right. So go ahead- enjoy a break from touring at this cafe at the end of the promenade- we enjoyed it a lot!

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
