"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.

It's not even my birthday ;)…read more And what better way to self indulge than a cake buffet? Yes you read that right, cake buffet! 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 have both a more casual area on the cafe side and a bit more dressy side on the restaurant area. The service is very quick. Highly recommend!

It is self serve from your silverware, drinks, and food. The place can get crowded during lunch time but it's manageable. Very nice decor, it adds to the ambience. If you order their cakes and some other quick foods they have behind the glass you can order and then sit down and get semi staff service. You can eat as much as you want so you can get energy for the rest of your day.
