Café Regatta
A tiny red cottage by the sea where you grill your own sausage over the open fire and sip coffee by the water.
Possibly the most photographed café in Helsinki. Queue for a korvapuusti (cinnamon bun) and coffee, then sit on the rocks watching canoeists. Loyalty card: every 10th coffee free.
