Kaapelitehtaan Kahvibaari <3 RetroHelsinki
This year, near the entrance to the Retro Helsinki fair, you will find an atmospheric resting place in the middle of the fair tour! Kaapelitehtaan Kahvibaari sets the table with a good mood, delicacies and wonderful coffee, just the kind that makes it easy to sit down for a moment and let the fair atmosphere take you.
The specialty coffees, high-quality teas and cold refreshments prepared by the barista are accompanied by a sweet and savory snack with a touch of retro that tastes good both during a quick stop and during a longer breather. The coffee bar invites you to rest, chat and enjoy!
