Ihana Kahvila Baari — Restaurant in Helsinki sub-region

Ihana Kahvila Baari, located on Aleksanterinkatu, is a compact cafe with just a couple of dozen seats. The space can feel cramped, making it less ideal for intimate conversations. The cafe is always bustling, and finding a table can be challenging.

The place is very nice and cozy, they have a great choice of cakes and everything looks delicious! I’ve tried the chai latte and it’s really good! After passing by many times I’ve finally had the chance to try this cafe today and I was so disappointed by the staff. They seemed annoyed and made me and my friend feel uncomfortable since the first moment. My friend broke a glass by mistake and the waitress came to clean, later on when we left one of our phones felt and they made fun of us, thinking that we wouldn’t understand Finnish. The place is very nice and I would like to give it a second try, but the service needs...
