Johan & Nyström

Helsinki


A red-brick split-level harbourside warehouse with outsized light fittings, low sofas and a waterside terrace is the atmospheric setting for this cafe run by boutique Swedish coffee roaster and tea merchant Johan & Nyström. Organic beans are all sourced from small-scale producers; choose from a huge variety of blends and brewing methods chalked on the blackboard.
