Caf\u00e9s in the city centre<\/h2>\n

Pyym\u00e4en Oma <\/strong>is a bakery, a coffeehouse and a lunch restaurant all wrapped in one. There\u2019s been a bakery at this location for half a century and there\u2019s an abundance of sweet and savoury pastries on offer. Pyym\u00e4en Oma remains loyal to the classics and traditional recipes while thinking about the new trends at the same time.<\/p>\n

Recently opened on the prime location of H\u00e4meenkatu, Pyym\u00e4en Aira<\/strong> offers delicious lunches, specialty coffees, and brunch, along with freshly baked bread from its own bakery, artisan pastries, wines, and cocktails.<\/p>\n

The caf\u00e9 regularly hosts poetry nights and small exhibitions, as well as sells local hand-made items. A wide range of baked goods deserves a special attention. According to a visitor on Tripadvisor, \u201ca cake baked here is to die for\u201d.<\/p>\n

Waffle Caf\u00e9s<\/h2>\n

Where to start? Surely, in the waffle caf\u00e9s. That is the place where guests from Helsinki head straight from the railroad station. The good news is that Tampere has two of them. The foundation was set by the caf\u00e9 Vohvelikahvila<\/strong> on the bank of Tammerkoski in 1992. For 22 years, their waffles have been made following a secret recipe that the owner does not give neither to guests, nor to journalists. When it\u2019s warmer outside, you may enjoy the waffles on the terrace opening to a view of Cathedral\u2019s spire. The other caf\u00e9 is located on Tuomiokirkonkatu.<\/p>\n

Atmospheric caf\u00e9s<\/h2>\n

Best doughnuts and cinnamon rolls in the world<\/h2>\n

Best doughnuts in Tampere \u2013 <\/em>this reputation was earned with the ginger sugar doughnuts baked following a secret recipe at the caf\u00e9 of the Pyynikki Observation Tower<\/strong><\/a>. You can often see a queue outside the tower: people are allured not only by the spectacular view from the tower. You can also find these doughnuts from the caf\u00e9 Munkkikahvila<\/strong> located in the Tampere Market Hall<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For those looking for something really Finnish, head to Bakery Caf\u00e9 Puusti<\/strong><\/a> and try their cinnamon rolls. In this unique city caf\u00e9 you can sense the atmosphere of grandma\u2019s house as well as the urban beat of the city, as it\u2019s located by the Tullintori shopping centre, opposite to Tampere Hall and Sorsapuisto park.
