Hidden gem in a shopping mall. It should have been just a quick stop to buy some stuff for a car during our journey. But the cakes in the café looked amazing, so couldn't leave without two pieces of cake and cacao. The cafe has a huge variety of cakes and drinks too. (included gingerbread cacao and ketolattes!). The staff is very helpful and friendly.

One of the nicest cafes I've come across in Northern Savonia so far. Don't let the location inside a shopping mall fool you. Tasty self made paninis and delicious cakes (with soft ice cream on top!). Friendly service and prices. Definitely worth checking out!

Mikäli Iisalmessa pysähtyy, kannattaa ehdottomasti käydä täällä! Herkullinen ja kaunis salaattiannos :)

mahtava. vois sanoo kaikkee positiivista, kirjottaa paljon. yllättävän hyvä. (melkein vuoden päästä päivitettynä kommenttini voin sanoa paikan asiakasmäärän ja uusien työntekijöiden määrän kasvaneen)

Iisalmen parhain kahvila, jossa todella laaja valikoima suolaisia ja makeita herkkuja. Paninit tosi hyviä ja edullisia. Löytyy toasteja, salaatteja, ciabattaa, bageleita, suolaisia/makeita piirakoita, juustokakkuja, jne jne. Asiakaspalvelu aina ystävällistä.

Came here on recommendation and despite the 'odd' location really enjoyed the food. Large variety and catering to many different dietary restrictions (clearly labelled) e.g. Vegan, keto, vegetarian
