Sunday, the perfect day to unwind with a cup of coffee. That's what you might think, but you'll be surprised to find that a lot of cafés in Helsinki are closed on Sundays.
Luckily, not all. Here are nine cafés that will tend to your coffee needs even on the day of rest.
1. Kahvila Rakastan
This charming vegan café is open on Sundays. Beautiful setting in an old villa, yet right in the center of Helsinki, across from the National Museum.
Mannerheimintie 13
2. Fazer Café
Fazer Café is a chain of coffee shops. They have several locations and many of them are open on Sundays. Try one of these:
Kluuvikatu
Bulevardi
Kamppi
Stockmann
3. Roasberg
Right across from the railway station, this café/bar is open late even on Sundays.

4. La Torrefazione
La Torrefazione is a (small) chain of cafés. Their locations in Kamppi shopping center, Lasipalatsi and Aleksanterinkatu are all open on Sunday.

A cup of coffee and an almond croissant? Can do. Levain's locations in Punavuori and Töölö are both open on Sundays.
