Swedish micro roaster…read moreJohan & Nyström added their second coffee place in Helsinki at the airport, just outside the SAS lounge. They offer 2 options for hand brews (usually one African and one from South America or Asia) as well as espresso based and batch brew. The staff here are perhaps not the same type of experts as at the showroom they have in the center but still can manage a good cup of coffee. I usually opt for Aeropress as it is difficult to screw that up and the beans used are good. Prices are a bit on the high side but it is after all an airport so I am just glad that they opted for a quality addition to the selection. I actually usually think this airport location beats the one in Terminal 2 in Stockholm but it is perhaps not as good as the Terminal 4 one in Stockholm. That said it is my go to place for coffee and sandwiches when at the airport in Helsinki.

Friendly and familiar. For a shopping centre cafe, this one is a cut above the rest. For instance…read morethe local retired population can be found here solving the worlds' problems. You'll see harried mums take five from the stress of juggling shopping and young ones. (Believe me, some days....) Early in the morning the kindergarten call in for juice and buns on their field trip, while tucked in the corner students sit and study (or check their Facebook / Twitter / Yelp!). The ladies behind the counter are always cheerful and ready to chat. One morning the boss was happy for me to first pay with all my small coinage, and then offered to swap the rest for notes. I walked away with a much lighter wallet and she was smiling all the way to ... the register! The korvapuusti (cinnamon scrolls) are big with just the right amount of sugar and cinnamon. Different days have different themes, sometimes it korvapuusti, while other days voisilmä pulla (butter-eye bun) is the flavour of the day. On the savoury side you can find rice pies (with or without egg butter) and porridge with the trimming is sometimes available. The porridge was a little salty for my taste, but the serve was generous. Take-away sandwiches / rolls are always flying off the shelves. Other choices include salmon and meat pies. The regular filter coffee is kept fresh and your santsi-kuppi (coffee refill) is an 'easy on the wallet' 0,70€. While not the cheapest in town, it's not the most expensive either. Obviously the best in town are the free one :) There is plenty of seating with wide pram-friendly aisles. The tables don't get cleaned super quickly once it get's busy and there is no rack to place your tray when you leave. I've been a regular for close on 12 months and I still look for the tray-trolley rack! Remember, the café is in the Malmi Nova Shopping Centre. There are tables by the window - with a view towards Malmi VR-station or you could settle in with the 'parliament' who commandeer the tables closest to the shopping centre walkway. * Note this review if for the café only, to date I haven't taken lunch there.

This pleasant little summer cafe in a residential neighborhood of Helsinki is really a pleasant…read moreaddition to an already good coffee scene. It is in the basement of a house and has a few tables inside and plenty of seats outside, they serve excellent coffee under the supervision of the talented Finnish Barista Champion Kalle Freese. The coffee has been from Blue bottle in San Francisco but upon my last visit it was instead from Square Mile. Nice to see some variety in what is offered. When Kalle is working they do hand brewed coffee but there is also espresso based beverages as well as batch brewed filter coffee. They also have some wine on offer. The setting is very nice and relaxing and the service is pleasant albeit a bit slow. They do some very nice pastries and a real fresh and nice brunch with yogurt, fruit and granola, avocado on toast and a 63 degree egg. A place well worth visiting before they close at the end of Summer (hopefully they open next summer again).

It has gotten a fair amount for good publicity lately, and fair not, this gem also delivers. The atmosphere is happy and positive, and of course you get excellent coffee here.

But even that is a positive, isn't it?
