Kuppi & Muffini

I had the great pleasure of stopping by Kuppi & Muffini on my recent trip to (super cool) Helsinki. It is a delightful café that was pleasantly full during our entire hour there. People casually came and went, enjoying a chat, or a book… a very good vibe indeed.
First off, let me say — Helsinki as a whole knows their smoothies and juices. Whoa! Heaven for you fruit drinkers out there.
While I didn’t indulge in any of the incredible looking sweet treats and cupcakes I did have a hankering for a smoooooooothie. I requested that the girl behind the counter recommend me something without banana and with zero hesitation she pointed me to the second one down (forgive my lack of memory on the Finnish word) that contained avocado, peanuts (!?), apples and other green things.
It was MARVELOUS. Super smooth, very good balance and I very much enjoyed the WHOLE.THING. Beauteous, as you can see below. Avocado and peanuts? I’m a BELIEVER.
Kuppi & Muffini & Colleen C – we go together.

It’s such a cute and calm place in the center of the city. I’ve had breakfast and lunch there — both are very good.
For breakfast you can order oatmeal, a smoothie and of course, a cupcake (in two sizes), I vaguely remember they might even have sandwiches, but I always go for a small cupcake and oatmeal — delicious.
They also serve excellent lunch salads, I recommend the avocado one!

Cute little coffee shop with cakes, smoothies, sandwiches, salads etc, all freshly made/​baked on the spot. The interiors are calm and cozy, and my raspberry cake and coffee (free refill, yay) tasted great. Very reasonably priced, too. Helsinki aches for places like this.
