Café reviews

Café Helmi is an intimate and cozy café in middle of old town of Porvoo. The place makes you return back to the times when horses roamed on the streets. The old town provides a great backdrop for this illusion.

Otherwise, the café is quite an ordinary coffeehouse. The selection of cakes and ot... More >

Café Houkutus is a hidden gem in Kuopio. You need to know its location on the second floor in one of the Carlsson department store buildings, a block or two from the central market square. Once you've found it, you won't forget it -- the cakes are just that delicious.

The café specialises in ca... More >

Café Metro is a small chain of coffeeshops around Manhattan. We had the pleasure of living in a hotel next to one outlet on 54th Street and 7th Avenue. As most of the hotel packages in the States do not include breakfast (and the breakfast is priced to ridiculous levels), Café Metro was our salvat... More >

Café Strindberg is a very centrally located traditional coffeehouse at the corner of Pohjois-Esplanadi and Mikonkatu, on the same block as Kämp Galleria.

The first floor hosts a café that serves all the special coffees, sweet and salty pastries, cakes and soups you need to get yourself going a... More >

Cafe Succés is located in a posh neighbourhood, a little bit south from the city centre. The area is filled with boutiques, and Cafe Succés is a haven to rest your feet when shopping.

The portions are huge and usually quite tasty, too. Sometimes you may get a sandwich that really does not taste... More >

Cafe Bisketti is by far the best café I have encountered in Oulu. The cakes and buns are big enough to cater for the whole day (and maybe big part of the following one), the selection is excellent, the service is swift and prices are decent. The location at the Rotuaari walking street is superb, to... More >

Shanghai was shared between Western powers on 19th century, and the former French part, known as French Concession, contains still some French charm and is a nice area to stroll around in general.

Cafe Montmartre could be located anywhere in French, and you wouldn't spot much difference -- except... More >

Chocolaterie Café is hidden in an inner courtyard on Vene street in the Tallinn old town, and if you don't know where you are going, you may well walk past the entrance. That would be pity, as the café is an excellent place to hang out for a while, savouring the sweetness of their pastries.

Costa coffeeshop on Old Compton Street looks like any other chain coffeehouse in London; a bit worn and a bit impersonal. Things change when you've grabbed the coffee and head to downstairs. The basement has a lot of comfy armchairs and a very relaxed atmosphere that can endulge you to spend hours t... More >
