El Fant - Cafe & Bar

A really nice place, I keep wanting to come back again and again. They have a great selection of drinks, including some you don’t find anywhere else in Helsinki, plus delicious cakes and pastries! I haven’t had the chance to try their savoury options during brunch yet, but I definitely will one day

A decent café nearby the Senate Square, vibrant colours in the cafe offering coffees, matcha, and hojicha drinks 😋 The raspberry lemon cake is delicious, fillings are just nice and not too sweet. This cafe can be busy with tourists so prepared to wait for an available table.

It's not a good place for lunch or drinks. The food is snobbish and pretentious. It's expensive and doesn't have the best flavor or presentation. The blackberry pie is dry, the cheesecake is tiny and partially broken, the salmon bites are dry, and the one with avocado is pathetic. The orange juice comes from a Tetra Pak. My recommendation is to leave the museum and go to the Fazer, around the corner, or to the Roberts Cafe. The service is good, but I won’t come back just for a friendly hello. I need good coffee as well.

Just came for coffee/drinks, but they were delicious! Iced americano was very good, and they provide cream/milk as well as sweeteners for coffee drinks. Nice seating with lots of space, lighting and atmosphere very nice.

The brunch options were absolutely delicious and the salads had such an amazing dressing that we had to ask the waiter about it, so good! As for the french toast, I wish it had less jam, for it was too much, too sweet and a little overwhelming. As for the drinks, they were good and so was the yogurt. The service and the place itself were great too!

It is a bit pricy, but it is a really cute cafe. Really interesting interior, i like it! You get cute coffee mugs from hk living, and the latte art is insanely good. Loved the taste of the coffee.

Food was delicious, both lunch menu and desserts. Plus amazing coffee and great service.

I’ve been there a couple of times and I have to say that the place is nice and they make a decent coffee, but I had to put a 3 for one of the worst matcha i had in a while. Atmosphere is very pleasant, there’s not so many hipster coffee shops in Helsinki, this is almost that.

Legit cappuccinos and great service. Best cappuccino I had while in Helsinki. Cute ceramic cups and some tasty food options. Come here for third wave coffee.

El Fant has amazing service, food and coffee! I am a coffee snob and by far the best coffee in town! The breakfast food is healthy and well done! I loved this place so much came back for more! The mango chia pudding is to die for!
