Sävy

Sävy is such a cute, cozy little corner café with the best hipster vibes. I had a black tea with cardamom, ginger, clove, and black pepper seriously delicious and perfectly spiced. We also ordered a latte and it was exceptionally good smooth, balanced, and clearly made with care. They have fresh baked goods and sandwiches made in house. Big chocolate croissants yumm! Great spot to relax, and the location is awesome too right on the corner with two big parks just across the street. Will definitely be back!

I like the atmosphere in the place. No-one’s in a rush and everyone seems to come in there and enjoy whatever they’re ordering. The space feels open, spacious and cozy. I wish they would stay open for longer during the evening since I’ve many times wanted to come here after work… Note: They have good almond croissants (I always have one if available).

A delightful and cozy place. I had the best espresso I’ve had in over a year - great beans, perfect extraction! Yoghurt with granola, apple, and cinnamon was delicious, grilled ham and cheese sandwich excellent, and croissant crisp, chewy and tasteful. Filter coffee on point. Staff were welcoming and accommodating, although very busy (and also working very efficiently). Great atmosphere, too. Sävy delivered just a bit over my expectations (which were high). Now, please open a branch in Copenhagen!

How have I not written about my favourite cafe in Helsinki up until now! Not much more to say than it serves the best coffee in Helsinki consistently, lovely & friend owners and staff, baristas that know what they are doing and talk to you about the characteristics of coffee if you want to nerd out and a delicious selection of pastries and sandwich breakfast combos. Going to add a few notes to here to help discovery for coffee artisans. They serve milk-based coffees (of course non-dairy plant milks are available), high quality filter coffee, pourovers (v60 / chemex style). I'd describe it as a third wave coffee location. They primarily serve Good Life Coffee beans, but once a month bring in special beans from different roasteries around Europe.

This small and cozy space offers delicious coffee. I recommend this place to have a moment of concentration to work. By the way, their playlist is nice with classic rock vibes.

Went for a quick breakfast stop, pastry was good, atmosphere and service were inviting. Been here few times before, finally write a review to support. Some construction going on around the hood at the moment so not the most pleasant view now, but it’s just a phase.

I stopped by for breakfast and it was a pleasant surprise! The prices are in line with the average in Helsinki, but the quality of the pastry I had and the cappuccino surprised me positively. The barista was super friendly, the atmosphere very relaxed and casual. Perhaps the atmosphere was too quiet for my taste, but still: highly recommended!

Unfortunately the cafe had run out of sandwich options by 13:30 on a Saturday, which was about disappointing, and only had a few breakfast items remaining. There was also limited seating with an odd arrangement of tables. Nice to see the cafe is dog friendly though. The flat white was very good as was the chocolate banana bread. Also highly recommend the yoghurt and granola bowl.

American visiting Helsinki here. I woke up at 4:30AM this morning jet lagged AF, so naturally I started "the scroll" to find places near my Air BnB that might help fuel me through. Sävy was a short walk, and the coffee shop I found that opened the earliest. Though it's listed as being open at 7:30, they actually open at 8am. I showed up at 7:47, and happily waited the extra 13 minutes until they invited me in. (What else am I going to fucking do with 13 minutes?). I ordered a breakfast combo that included a croissant, granola/yogurt bowl, and upgraded my coffee drink to a double cappuccino. The barista asked me what perfume I was wearing because apparently I smelled good. I remarked that it may have been the woman ahead of me, but it happened to be the dude's girlfriend, so he was pretty sure it wasn't her. I wasn't wearing a fragrance but the air BnB had a Linden Blossom bath wash...anyways. I was feeling good about smelling good even though I felt like shit. I digress I was stupid hungry, so I demolished that croissant before my coffee drink and granola bowl was ready. It was buttery, flaky, fresh and delicious. "On point" as the kids say. I was too tired to remember to order oat milk with my coffee, so I drank it with whole milk. It was rich, and chocolately like I like my coffee drinks. I might pay for the whole milk later, but it couldn't be worse than the airline food I had yesterday. So fuck it. The granola bowl with yogurt was legit. Breakfast here just hits different. The presentation was great, and it had the perfect ratio of fruit, honey, and cinnamon. I had a little more time to kill so I ordered another single cappuccino with oatmilk this time (internally convincing myself it would offset the whole milk drink) it was also delicious. Additionally, they have a pretty dope music playlist, wi-fi, and cool art on the walls. I'll be coming back every morning until my stay here is up. Kiitos, Sävy

They really know customer service ;) and great coffee- couldn't rate this place higher. There is a great community and vibe in this place!

Such a great coffee shop. The best thing is that they don't have a winelist. Baristas know what they're doing even though customers are a little weird.

Loved the service, the coffee and carrot cake. Super friendly staff and one of the best cappuccinos I've had while visiting Helsinki.

I just spoke with the two associates working there (13:00 12/23). They were both so lovely and professional. They made time for me even though they were busy. A+++

One of the best specialty coffee places in Helsinki. They have a varying assortment of coffee from mainly Nordic roasteries offered as aeropress, I have had some excellent coffees from DaMatteo, Kaffa and a Turku based coffee roastery (whose name slips my mind at this time). The service is laid-back and friendly and it is really a nice place to hang out in. It is sort of outside the city center but if you happen to be in the area it is a must to visit and I would say for anyone interested in coffee it is a definite stop if you happen to be in Helsinki.

Just from looking from the outside it was so clear that savy was going to be the trendy coffee club that it was supposed to be. We read about it on our flight from New York and had to visit, the coffee was delicious and the seating was perfect for a mid morning chat with friends! The only downfall was that the cups were definaltey not big enough, I didn't want the coffee to end :)

Best coffee in Helsinki!! We had a cappuccino and a ice Latte and they where both super rich and tasteful!! Also nice and smiley service. Being a person that seeks up good coffee this was truly a great find.

This spot was great! Cool guys behind the counter. There was no WiFi but the cream was in a beautiful swan pattern. A total hipster joint to those of you who enjoy the environment. Extremely stylish.

Only a few food items are offered, but the croissants are incredible, and the coffee is delicious as well. Two croissants, a double espresso, and an aeropress coffee only set us back 11 euro.

Love it! They have one adorable old ticket machine :) nice selection of coffees and pastries! Good place to go in a rainy afternoon
