Savory
The savory side of our display follows the rhythm of the day, with a daily changing selection of savory pies and pastries. For a more filling option, your choice can be served with a side salad. Our perennial favorites are the Skagen and salmon sandwiches, served on our own house-baked bread.

Sweet
Our own patisserie counter offers around a dozen carefully crafted pastries. The selection includes a wide range of options made with gluten-free ingredients, both sweet and savory, and a vegan option is always available.

Drinks
Our drinks menu includes classic coffees, TeeHelmi’s own teas – dozens of our own tea blends – lemonades and juices, as well as wines and digestifs to enjoy with coffee. Complete your visit with a glass of something sparkling: Vilarnau cava, Taittinger champagne, or Vavesaari non-alcoholic rhubarb sparkling wine.
