Great coffee and good pastries (especially the super sticky delicious cinnamon buns - as mentioned before) served in a pleasingly scandi - retro surrounds. Note the 70s style wall hanging!

Nice buns, but over priced and quite overhyped 27th March 2008

Nice place, I quite like the cinnamon buns.

This is not a retail store, they only sell a bit of bread and some sweets and some very expensive bags. Their selection of food is limited, I think, compared to many other cafes in the area.

Nordic Bakery is nice enough but not that exciting. Nice coffee, okay service, the sandwiches are generally a bit over priced.

Better than Starbucks, but I would not go out of my way to go here - unless I had a craving for cinnamon buns.

Tranquil Scandinavian cafe hidden away in a Soho corner 9th June 2007

Apparently this is the first Finnish coffee shop in London. I think it's got all the ingredients for a perfect shopping break, or meeting spot.

They do good, strong coffee, and a selection of scandinavian pastries, including enormous cinnamon buns and doughnuts (it seems that the latter are called 'munkki' in Finnish which is a much more appealing name, I think). The open sandwiches looked delicious too; hardboiled eggs with anchovies, gravadlax, smoked salmon, herring etc.

The design is pleasing too, all wood-clad walls, simple designer tables and chairs, and dark blue chunky crockery. A chilled-out place to while away an hour.
