Even if you might not be crazy for the "brown gold", you should get a cup of their ice-cream that comes in three different flavours: white chocolate, dark chocolate or milk chocolate with liquorice - heavenly light and creamy and thousands of crispy chocolate bits inside! Each cup is 4,30 € and, thus, not more expensive than ice-cream from any other parlour in Finland (one scoop between 2 and 3 € is the rule, not the exception!). I usually do not crave for chocolates, but if a unique flavour comes along, I seldom refuse. The lingonberry chocolates caught my curious eye and I totally enjoyed the white chocolate coating and the light pink lingonberry filling. It had a very nice and delicate nutty flavour that reminded me of wheat bran :o)! Much to my regret, 4 chocolates were 3,40 €. So pampering yourself at Pieni Suklaatehdas (or Swedish: Lilla Chokladfabriken) will always be on the pricey side. Nevertheless, if you ever go to lovely Porvoo, which is a must when travelling Finland, walk to the cathedral and just a few steps further you will be in front of this little paradise of chocolate!

We visited Porvoo, Finland a couple of weeks ago during our summer holiday. Our tour guide highly…read morerecommended stopping by Brunberg Oy to 'taste' their amazing chocolate. This store creates artisanal chocolate truffles, bars, blocks, and also candy. The original store/factory was established in 1871. Visitors can try the chocolates before buying as long as you are in the store. Brunberg offers many flavors and types of chocolate for sampling. All of them were absolutely tasty--the chocolate really bursts with flavor when you eat it. "Delicious traditional chocolate confection with an intensive soft flavor." The 'milk chocolate' truffle was my favorite. Really soft - just as described, and with an intense/pure chocolate flavor. We purchased a 500g bag to bring back home. Flavor and texture is consistent even after 3 weeks. "The mocca truffle is a confection developed from the traditional truffle with a fine taste of genuine aromatic coffee. It actually melts in your mouth". Also holds true; our friend loved her coffee infused chocolate. It was unlike any other chocolate I have tasted. They get a 10 for quality and service. When in Finland, I highly recommended this store when visiting the old town of Porvoo.

Good coffee and desserts. They also sell sandwiches but I only had an espresso and dessert…read more If you come in with more than 3 people and want espresso based coffees it will take a while since they appear to have a single-serve espresso machine (commercial but like something you would have at home).

Chjoko in Kruunuhaka is THE place for chocolate lovers. The small shop offers a pretty impressive…read moreselection of classic and extraordinary chocolate products. And almost all of it is self-made. Try their heavenly pralines, cakes and petit fours. And don't miss out on their macarons! They are some of the best I've ever had. Of course there is also chocolate ice cream. You're saying chocolate ice cream is boring? Then you haven't tried the ones at Chjoko. They have several different versions all based on either white, milk or dark chocolate combined with some spicy or fruity flavors. Oh, and if you are a real chocolate fan you might want to come to their Saturday Chocolate Brunch where you can try and eat as much as you can for just 16 €.

The woman who assisted me was beyond sweet and incredibly helpful. I asked for vegan options, and…read moreshe personally walked me around the store showing me everything from chocolate and jelly beans to pastries, sandwiches, and cake. Please note that they do not carry oat milk version of Karl Fazer chocolatees. I came in around 1000 in the morning, and it wasn't crowded at all. The flagship store is absolutely beautiful.

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.
