Don't miss this long-standing and delicious bakery and coffee shop ★ Long history This is a bakery with a long history. We can only know that it has been in existence for more than 100 years by the faded traces on the exterior wall of this store. This shop is a bit like a combination of a bakery and a coffee shop. When I came here to taste breakfast and coffee in the morning, I saw many local residents drinking coffee here, which added a lot of lively atmosphere to this relatively quiet place. 💦 Practical tips: 1. The per capita consumption here is 50~100 yuan, you can come and taste the food. 2. Scenic area address: Bulevardi 9, Helsinki 00120, ,Finland The desserts here not only meet the characteristics of local residents, but also border on the international. The croissants and macarons are particularly well made, which are no less than what I ate in France. When I was eating desserts here, the service staff here would also have a cordial conversation with us. He told me that this bakery used to make food for the Tsar. 🌸🌸 Recommendation: There are many kinds of food here. If we don’t know what we want to eat, there will be buffets for breakfast and lunch. We only need to spend 12.9 euros to eat everything we want to eat here. The butter stewed eggs in this store must be ordered. They are soft and delicious and cost-effective. 🌈
EKBERG was founded in 1858 and has a history of more than 100 years. Let me introduce to you here, EKBERG runs a coffee shop and a bakery. Many people choose to have breakfast in the coffee shop in the morning, and sit in the bakery at noon to drink coffee and chat about life. Finns are well-known for their love of coffee, drinking at least 3 to 5 cups a day. In a country famous for its coffee, coffee must be one of the most important enjoyments in their lives. The most famous thing about EKBERG is the bagged coffee grounds, which are made from the purest coffee beans. A cup of it has a very rich taste. The price of a bag is 8.9 Euros. Of course, the cakes here are also very famous locally. Since there is only one store in the whole of Helsinki, many people come here to try it. If you come to Helsinki, don't miss this cake shop. They are basically freshly made, with a very rich flavor and are very crispy and soft to eat.
Ekberg is not only the oldest café in Helsinki, but also the oldest café in Finland. Every morning, it is crowded with people who come to eat brunch. This has become a part of the life of Helsinki people. The café still retains the traditional craftsmanship of handmade bread and desserts, and strictly controls the quality of raw materials to keep this traditional Finnish taste. Napoleon is a pastry widely spread in Europe. It is said that its puff pastry originated in Naples, Italy. This cake is composed of multiple layers of puff pastry and cream, with a layer of meringue on top. This seemingly ordinary pastry is actually very demanding of craftsmanship. The soft puff pastry must be sandwiched with smooth cream while maintaining the crispy texture of the puff pastry. The thousand-layer cake is also a puff pastry cake, but the filling in the middle is rich in caramel flavor. The mushroom-shaped cake is called "Champagne Corg", a traditional Finnish cake. The soft cake is soaked with champagne. Finally, we took away a traditional pastry that is very popular in Finland: Karelian pie (Karjalanpiirakka). The reason why this pastry has a special place in the hearts of Finns is that it originally originated in Karelia in eastern Finland, where the Finnish national epic "Kalevala" originated. The pastry base is made of rye, and the filling in the middle is made of potatoes, rice or carrots. Ekberg uses millet. When eating, put a small piece of butter on it, which will be more delicious after heating and melting.
In Helsinki, where the sky is covered with snow and the temperature is more than 20 degrees below zero, in addition to the warm sunshine, the only thing that can bring warmth and comfort to people's hearts is food. As a high-tech country, Finland is loyal to the traditional natural way of eating that has been passed down from generation to generation. In spring, they get water from trees, pick berries and make juice in summer, pick mushrooms and hunt deer in autumn, and eat root vegetables in winter. Only Finns can do this! In addition to being particular about taste, Finns have fully utilized the artistic design talent of the Nordic people in food. Therefore, it is a very enjoyable thing to search for food in Helsinki, because it is not only an enjoyment for the taste buds, but also those exquisite dishes are works of art, which are poured with the heart and artistic feelings of Finnish craftsmen. As a café control, I first want to talk about EKBERG. This café was founded in 1858 and is the oldest café in Helsinki. Juuri is a very popular art restaurant in Helsinki. From the design of the store to the food on the table, everything looks like a work of art. The artistic spirit and design of the Finns are fully reflected in this store. Ravintola Meripaviljonki is a lakeside restaurant with large floor-to-ceiling windows with a wide view, which can take in the snowy scenery on the ice lake outside. Savotta is a restaurant with the most traditional Finnish atmosphere. It is quite famous in Helsinki. The decoration and design of the restaurant still retain the old style of the 18th century. Even the waiters are dressed in traditional Finnish costumes. Naturally, it is a good place to experience the traditional Finnish style.
