[2025 Helsinki Restaurant] Travel Guide for Ekberg (Updated Aug)

Transfer in Helsinki! There was quite a bit of time for the transfer, so it took about 6 hours? To downtown Helsinki! About 30 minutes by bus from the airport. Since time is limited on a transit trip, you should decide on a minimum target in advance! In my case, my goals were to shop at Marimekko, have a snack at a cafe, stop by a supermarket, and stop by a Moomin shop! All of this can be done around Helsinki Central Station! Even if I want to eat cinnamon rolls at a cafe, I research the shops in advance! For food restaurants, I usually have a backup plan! ← This is important! When I achieve my goal, I feel a sense of accomplishment...😂 Please give it a try! #transittourism #howtoenjoytransit #moomin #marimekko #helsinki #cinnamonroll #helsinkicentralstation

This is especially recommended for those who want to eat delicious pastries in Helsinki. We will introduce the popular cafe "Ekberg 1852" where you can find all kinds of Finnish bread and cakes! ⭐️Review It is said to be the oldest cafe in Finland, and Tove Jansson was also a favorite of this cafe. I visited on the last day and ordered Pernaleivos, which I had always wanted to try. It literally means potato cake. I wonder if the reason why potatoes are called peruna in Finnish is because Peru is the country of origin of potatoes 😳 From the appearance, I imagined something chocolatey, but the taste was more like cocoa. It was a cake that tasted like almond powder with a cocoa flavor, perhaps made from marzipan! It was a nice cafe with a classical atmosphere. Next time I'd like to try korvapuusti ~ 📍Location: Bulevardi 9, 00120 Helsinki, Finland #Gourmet Summary
