Katja from Tampere

About me Entrepreneur, runner, mum, writer... I have many roles! I came to Tampere because of... you know the story: because of a man. It was in the year 2001 and Tampere had been my dream since a little kid because of our amusement park Särkänniemi even back in the 1990s, and I still love that park!

Tampereen Bakery Cafe Tampere

Wonderful salads and cakes!

""Tampereen Bakery Cafe" in, yes, Tampere, is the best place to have a salad for lunch. Or how about some soup or one of their amazing cakes?"

Do you love salads for lunch? Maybe a glass of wine? Or really good coffee and a piece of cake? Then Tampereen Bakery Cafe is a place for you! In my opinion, it is one the best places to eat a salad for lunch. You can add e.g. sweet potato with goat cheese to your salad- wonderful!

In Tampereen Bakery Cafe they also have soup for lunch every day, if you need something warm on a cold winter day. What would you say about some carrot-ginger soup or salmon soup? It's really good, I can guarantee it! Or you can choose a sandwich, wrap, pie or a smoothie - they have everything!

Tampereen Bakery Cafe also bakes one of the best cakes in town, you should try them! They make all the cakes by themselves in the cafeteria. The chocolate one is my favourite, go on and check what will become your favourite cake. Maybe the cheesecake? It is also really nice!

There are several seats on the terrace as well, so you can enjoy the sun in the summertime and get a glass of sparkling wine!
