Oldest Cafe in Helsinki

Ekberg is the oldest cafe in Helsinki. It is famous for its breakfast buffet and coffee. I went there before leaving Helsinki to St. Petersburg. Although the buffet time was over because I arrived there at 10:30, I still enjoyed a sandwich there with a cup of tea. It was really delicious, the cheese inside was dense without a strong flavour, and matched well with tomato and pesto sauce (but not very sure). It was not a complex one but was the one that I would never be bored with.

In fact, the thing happened in Ekberg impressed me the most was the service. When I finished and waited to pay, the waitron (originally focused on her cash register) suddenly looked at my eyes and said 'I would not charged the tea because you waited for a long time' and in one second back to the cash register. Very cool. But still, I felt friendly as well. (kind of complex emotion, different with people in Taiwan or Japan or England) 'Oh, okay' was the only word I could give. But in 3 seconds, I thought why I did not say more like thank you or something else? However, three seconds were too long to reply anything. I just missed the chance, too bad.

72 hours later, when I finished the visiting in Russia, I went back to buy the Champagne cork, which might be the most delicious pastry I have had in my life, seriously. I mean, how can you resist the charming of the service atmosphere and the wicked dessert there?
