Gran Delicato Café

Tuesday, March 28, 2006 at 14:53

The Finns are known to drink a lot of coffee. In fact, they consume the most coffee per capita. But it's amazing how often a Finnish cup of brown gold tastes like half warm, stale creek water; the last thing that one would expect when passing the Meira Oy coffee roasting factory, a few blocks away from our house in Kallio. Perhaps it is a matter of taste. The Finns who are responsible for most of the coffee seem to be quite happy with their products.

Me and Elles have found a few like-minded if it comes to making a proper cup of coffee. Perhaps they make the best coffee in whole of Helsinki. And besides this, they sell great ciabatta (chapata in Finnish), for example with graviera and grilled aubergine. I'm talking about the Gran Delicato Café (or 'Delicato' for short). Our favourite Saturday afternoon stopover café on Kalevankatu 34.
