Review: Bookcafe (Kirjakahvila) is the number one cafe in Turku for someone who likes culture, books, good conversations, delicious vegan bakery and good atmosphere. It is a non-profit co-operative place and the staff are volunteer workers.It is located in the most beautiful place in Turku, right in a medieval inner yard. By day time it's open for everyone and a variety of cultural events and theme days take place there. In the evenings after 7 o'clock different organisations and groups can organise their own events there. Handicraft, comics and books are sold in Kirjakahvila and the kitchen is truly one of a kind. A variety of freshly baked delicious pies, cakes, muffins etc. are sold there every day. The price is right and it's all suitable for vegans! The only down side of this place is that it's not open on weekends. It is my favorite place!
 
Pros: atmosphere * bakery * staff
Cons: not open on weekends * difficult to find *

Review: lovely little cupcakes with mint flavour the day i was there! small salty pies and sandwiches was also on the menue, larger cakes as well. small cafe with places outside in nice old town environment. yes, it was a little hard to find even though it's really in the centre. nice books and fanzine collection, and friendly poeple working, that gave service in english.
 
Pros: delicious cakes * good atmosphere * woman friendly
Cons: could offer bigger sortiment * not organic * bit difficult to find
