Café Fontana is a good place to rest your feet after touring the shopping streets of Turku. The café has an excellent selection of both sweet and salty pastries, cakes and buns. All normal special coffees are available.

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 location at the Rotuaari walking street is superb, to... More >

Located in a prime position next to the market square, the two storey building hosts the department store and two specialist stores (electronics sto... More >

Carlson is an old trading house from Kuopio. Incidently, their flagship store is located also in the very same town. The location could not be more central, just next to the central market square -- but this is a bit deceiving, as the store continues in a series of buildings that are joined with und... More >
