Brooklyn café, oh, how you have made my days so much better every time I’ve visited you. Your mellow and delicious bagels, be it cinnamon-raisin or my favourite, blueberries and cream cheese, with the sweet company of a Toffee Macchiato. One that’s not only tasty but also comes with affectionately perfected coffee art, by one of their wonderful baristas  – oooh how the little things in life can make a day so perfect!

Cupcakes, brownies, cookies – you name it. Whether you fancy something hearty like a bagel with turkey or something sweet like the aforementioned, these guys will fulfill your wishes. Recently the place was expanded and now is more than twice as big as it used to be, but I’m happy to report that it’s still as cozy and intimate as before.

The café is run by two American ladies who missed bagels from their home country too much and decided to open their own cute little shop in Helsinki. It’s just so comforting to be there, and it smells so good that I could lounge about the place for hours.

They also opened a bakery just a few doors further down the street for more cupcake-cookie-brownie-cakes-pie-more-cupcake-madness.
