Fazer Café Tampere

Definitely one of the nicest café’s around. great view. spaceous, recently renovated. food and drinks are good.

Fazer Café, part of a chain of Fazer branded cafes, opened recently (June 2015?) in Tampere. It is perhaps the most stylish café in Tampere with a very stylish modern interior. The huge windows are great for letting the light in. The lamps are just to my liking. The drinking glasses are the ones every trendy restaurant in Scandinavia seems have bought. The counter with all the cakes, pastries etc is beautifully organised. Every detail seems to have been designed and the overall ambience of the place is classy with eye candy for the visitor.
I first visited there in June thinking I’d buy a cheap lunch since I came during lunch time. The salad was maybe 11 € and with chicken added around 13 € so I considered it a bit pricey for lunch hour. It did come with bread which was fresh from their own bakery so I did not leave hungry. And the salad was very tasty and if it wasn’t for the price I could eat something like that every day. :)
I also came here once for coffee with baby strollers and there’s plenty of room for that. So even though the coffee is not the cheapest in town, this is a good meeting place even with the «baby baggage». Did I mention the regular coffee has free refills? It does. And you get one Fazer candy with the coffee. I of course picked the Kiss-​Kiss candy which is my ultimate childhoold favorite! :)
In addition to coffee, salads and pastries, you can buy fresh bread here for taking home. So in addition to being a café, it is sort of a Fazer pastry shop («konditorio») too.
