Shelter from the wind
Cafe Vanille
Why locals love it
This quaint little cafe is located in the old Russian merchant's quarter opposite the Suomenlinna Church. Cute, personal, granny-like service with yummy treats.
Why you should visit it
You'll walk past it as you head inside the fortress walls along what could almost be called Suomenlinna's main street. It offers tasty homestyle sweetbuns (pullaa), coffee and snacks and welcome shelter from the wind in the less gentle seasons.
Special tip
Check seasonal opening times - they can be a little unpredictable in the winter months.
