Lovely lil kiosk-cafe near by the kulosaari metro. Slice of cheese cake which could be 7-10 euros in central is here only 2,50e. Other delicacies are cheap too. Ok its a little kiosk and they have only two table's but if you are searching cheap but tasty pastries and cakes this place is worth of visit <3

There is always a nice and friendly staff and A wide selection of cakes and sandwiches. Two tables.

Absolutely great products! Affordable prices. Easily full five stars! It is located at Metro station, thus only 4 stars for the atmosphere. Location is very easily accessible, for the positive.

Small café/convenience store with a selection of treats to eat on the go or while seated at the café. It is run by friendly Vietnamese ladies.

The best carrot cake I have ever had and only for 2.50€
