Well, this isn't in Helsinki but as I have been to Playa del Inglés already so many times I know it better than Helsinki really so it fits here. Besides, if this café was in Helsinki I would be there most every day, like I was when I was in Inglés. Massimo and Marcus, not forgetting Massimo's fantastic mamma have a very cozy and clean café with great breakfasts (you can choose French, German, Finnish, English etc not forgetting a healthy ones) and fabulous homemade cakes by Marcus and most of all good Italian coffee - something one really starts to long in Spain (Spanish coffee sucks, sorry!) Variety of languages is spoken, too, to make you feel like home in this pool side café inside Apartamentos Teror, right behind Hotel Neptuno is you look at it from Yumbo center. Forget Café de Paris, this is the place for cakes! :-)</div>

Kahvila Suomi, also known as Ruokala Lokki thanks to a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kamome_Shokudo">Japanese success film</a>, that still fills the place with Japanese tourists years after its release. Charming little place, a strange mix of the old school Finnish food place with plates that looks like they have been frozen and brought alive from the 1980's. This said, the food is good! And reasonable priced. </div>

And do we want to talk about their pulla and other cakes? A must! Maybe a bit off the usual touristic routes (or even my routes) but indefinably worth a visit! Just hop on a tram 3B and hop off in Viiskulma.</div>
