Leipomo K. E. Avikainen

Traditional bakery

"Leipomo K. E. Avikainen" (est. 1950) is one of the few remaining traditional Helsinki bakeries. They also sell Karelian pies, which makes me happy!

Bar Favela

The colorful side of Töölö

"Bar Favela" is a great addition to Helsinki's nightlife. They're not only a bar w/ awesome cocktails - their food (like the 'bean bread') is amazing, too!
