Very unique and beautiful cafe and cocktail bar with Finland´s best coffee roastery behind the counter giving a scent of freshly roasted coffee. We have a selection of craft beers and artesan wines. On the menu also cocktails and drinks. Welcome!

A hidden pearl in the Old Town, the best coffee shop and roastery lies just beneath the Fortress, near the Harbour. The building is from the early 20th century and from the inside you can find a very unique piece of atmosphere. Coffee is superb, staff is very friendly and the interior is very beautiful and cozy. Don't miss this!

You get to Wolkoff’s foyer directly from the museum shop. It’s a small place. One room, barely big enough for about four people. But it’s big in history. The whole history of Lappeenranta lives there. It is embedded into the walls, the floor and the ceiling, all wooden. A few minutes is enough to get the vibes, but an hour or two of meditation would be optimal. The whole house is nice, but the foyer is amazing. There are two writings on the wall: E.T. (!) and LETTU, which is a crepe, like a pancake. It seems that E.T. loves crepes, or Finnish style pancakes. They are to be eaten either with sugar sprinkled on top or with a good jam like strawberry or raspberry. For a drink a glass of milk if you’re a young one or young at heart. A cup of coffee if you’re a more mature person. Back to the foyer of Wolkoff’s house museum. In my opinion this is the number one place in Lappeenranta. Visit this one and you understand the history of the town.
