Nice caffeterias in Helsinki region
Note: many gas stations also have cafeterias. Some of them are even open 24/7 - this is suitable for cyclists! But I'm not listing them here because:
- they tend to be located next to highways (not most attractive places for cycling)
- they make money by selling gas, so they probably do not need my advertizing
- there is usually little romantic inside place like Esso or Shell.
This page focuses on small, quiet, country-style places. Unfortunately such places often are opened only a small part of the week.
Update: More cafeterias are placed on collaborative Google map.
