The salad base was comprehensive; it's very rare to find salads this good in cafés. The café’s atmosphere, products, service, and the terrace were reason enough to visit. I intend to come back, this is the best or second-best café in Tampere.

This café may offer a full menu, but for us, it was all about the cappuccino—and it did not disappoint. Perfectly balanced, with velvety foam and a rich, smooth espresso base, every sip was a small moment of indulgence. The atmosphere matched the experience: warm, unpretentious, and inviting, with the gentle hum of conversation and the scent of freshly ground beans filling the air. No unnecessary frills, just a well-made cappuccino in a space that makes you want to linger a little longer.

Very good cafe. Cafe ambience is perfect. Kahvi(Coffee) was good taste. Cappuccino single shot was good too. Tried blueberry muffin, that too was yummy and made perfectly. Staff was very nice and English speaking. Good design cups and mugs to serve. Intend to go again and try other offerings from the menu.

A little cafe with comfortable seating both indoors and outdoors. The coffee and cake/dessert menu is yammy and plentiful. I hate Cafe Americano, and I was happy to find filtered coffee available. I ate Chiaseed and mango pudding with it. My friends took choclate cake, which looked like it was made out of chocolate mousse. My friend said that the cake was a bit on the dryside, but my pudding was delicious!

Nice and cosy cafe with small town vibes. The service is very nice and everything tasted good and prices are really decent as well. I was especially excited to try the pärämäts, haven’t seen it anywhere else.

This coffee shop by the library is great. The iced latte is my favorite, and the coffee is always good. The staff are really friendly and make you feel welcome. It’s a nice spot to grab a coffee and relax.

Probably my favourite hidden gem in Tampere and a great place to stop after a trip to the library. Great coffee, great food, a peaceful atmosphere that’s never too busy or too quiet. A place with heart. The portraits of local heroes are also great!
