Favorite Coffee Spots in Helsinki

Last month, I travelled to Finland. It was my birthday and I've wanted to go to Helsinki since I was 5 years old. So I took a plane and spent 3 days is amazing Helsinki... I visited 3 great restaurants and found 3 great coffee shops. Surprisingly enough, Finland has great coffee spots and roasteries. I visited them all and were very impressed with all of them. 

Johan & Nyström

I have visited before Johan & Nyström and it is one of my favorites in Stockholm, but as well in Helsinki! The coffee shop is at Hamringevägen next to the waterline in a beautiful brick building. The red bricks and interior design on this place makes you feel like you teleported yourself to Brooklyn. They have the biggest glutenfree selection I have ever seen in a coffee place in Europe, and that includes things that aren't sweet.

Beautiful industrial red brick building.

Avocado Pie. Gluten free and delicious. I had a Latte

I really liked the elderflower limonade.

I tried the V60 as well

Good Life Coffee

Good Life Coffee has been popping up on my instagram feed for a while. I was very attracted to the amazing design on their coffee boxes. "Avoid Bad Life" is their motto, and they sure know how to make this work. They not only roast their own coffee, produce amazing merchandise and brew delicious coffee, but they make the best scrambled eggs in THE WORLD! They don't have a kitchen or a stove, but they make this heavenly airy and delicate eggs using their milk steamer. What??? a steamer? Yes! the regular milk steamer. This was by far my favorite place... And one of their roasters, actually hooked me up with some cascara, Bonus Points!

It is located in the hipster district of Kallio.

Beautiful design everywhere you look at.

Very nice and tasty coffee. I tried the espresso, latte and handbrew.

In love with the minimalist design in all products.

Kahvila Sävy

I don't quite remember how I landed here. I think the guys from Good Life Coffee sent me in this direction. But I ended up at Kahvila Sävy. They had a gluten free selection and a big of pastry selection. I tried some Kenyan brewed on V60 and it was great.

We love coffee.

Gotta love the design of Finnish coffee boxes.

Gluten free muffin for me

Very minimal and rustic interior.

Helsinki gave me a great caffeine rush!
