Now actually managed to make it to Andante after previous tomes when they just randomly decided to be closed and it is undeniably a very cute combo of flower shop and café. They have nice old(60s-70s style) style furniture and the place does have charm and character. They focus on coffee from high quality Nordic roasters so expect to find the likes of Coffee Collective, Drop, La Cabra, Tim Wendelboe and Maja here but also the occasional roaster from outside(I have for example seen they have serves Heart). The coffee is nicely prepared, especially the filters are good. Food-wise it is mainly home made cakes and pastries(often raw and vegan) as well as rye bread sandwiches and yoghurt on the menu. The service is however weirdly inflexible — they had a set breakfast menu including coffee but the option was then espresso or americano. I asked if I could substitute for an Aeropress(that was cheaper than the Americano) and got no as answer but it was ok to substitute for the even more expensive latte. I even offered to pay extra but that was then not possible so ended up ordering the breakfast and adding an aeropress and telling them to just not make the other coffee but they insisted on making it and brining it over. Still the coffee is good and the sandwiches as well. They also have free wifi so good place to hang forma while.

A tiny professionally vibed café close to the hipster heaven of Helsinki. Has a little flower shop inside which smells great!

This café is a wee cutie in the middle of one of my favorite streets in Helsinki. The service was laid back and caring, the music, décor and overall atmosphere was lovely. And fantastic coffee.

One of the best pour-over coffees I’ve had anywhere, perfectly and lovingly presented. Cozy and delightful décor, with the bonus that the café shares the space with a flower and plant shop, so the air is wonderfully fragrant. I spent an hour working here and was quite happy.
