This place is one of the pleasant surprises I found during my visit to Helsinki. Chocolate from Finland can be just as tasty compared to Swiss, French, and Belgian chocolate. This place also serves some great lunch dishes at a reasonable price.
A lady I was travelling with told me that she loves dark chocolate more than milk chocolate. After getting both the milk chocolate and the dark chocolate bars here at this place, I realised the reason why she said that. The milk chocolate was way too creamy and sweet, but the dark chocolate had an excellent flavour, and it was not too sweet. If the dark chocolate was melted, it could be a great complement to some fresh, cold vanilla ice cream.
As for my lunch, I had a salmon sandwich, which was pretty good, the salmon was pretty fresh, the sandwich had some fresh greens to complement the salmon, and the bread had a nice rustic taste. I also got a "Bébé", which was this tart-like pastry, and it had a pink cream filling on top. That was pretty good with an excellent creamy and sweet flavour.
This place is at a great location in Helsinki, not too far from the harbour, Senate Square, and the central train station. Even better was that this place has very reliable wi-fi internet, so once we got in, we were looking at our phones a lot. It was also one of the smoothest and cleanest cafes I have been to.
Overall, if you are looking for a great and versatile lunch with some excellent chocolate in Helsinki, this place is a great choice. The Dark Chocolate was one of the best, if not the best souvenir I got from Helsinki. I really have to give that lady credit for mentioning how much she likes dark chocolate.
