Cute little place

Even though this is in a mall, I loved the interior. The staff was nice, the food very fresh and good! Tempeh & 'bacon' carrot delicious. Definitely worth visiting when in the city center. Portions are fair, prices rather high, but hey - it's Finland :)

Healthy options, good warm drinks

Date Kale offers healthy meal options plus good cookies and warm drinks. Service was kind and the atmosphere is relatively relaxed considering its location in a mall.

Lovely lunch place

I really like the food here. Feels healthy and looks colorfull. But I find the 14 euros lunch a bit expensive.,

Pure food

Been here once and had a really good experience. The stuff helped to order and were very kind. The food tasted amazing and was really healthy. Our youngest one got small easy things outside the menu. Read this: even three year old kids with hard pessimism get something to eat.

Pros: Amazing food

Cons: Situation in a mall

Nice.....but not great

This was the only place that seemed to of been opened when we were in Helsinki. Finnish places close ridiculously early.

The restuarant is on the very top floor of the shopping centre, not the best place to go out for meal, but the Finnish don't seem to enjoy eating out as much as other countries. It seems to be a very basic thing for them.

The place is small but clean and cosy. However, if you intend to eat there, I suggest you pick a less busy time as there is not much seating.

We had two different smoothies, two different salads, and two bowls of cocunut curry (We were starving.). All were very tasty but nothing special. However, the curry was one of the best that we had. It didn't look very appetising, but it tasted much better than it was.

The places in Helsinki have very odd opening hours. At least this one stayed open later. It was expensive but at least we managed to get something to eat.

Pros: Decent food, Quite central, Opens later than most other places in Helsinki

Cons: Expensive, Very few choices, Very little seating

a cozy upstairs cafe at the mall

have visited here twice now for coffee and/or lunch: nice place with variety of snacks and id say healthy dishes to choose from (i.e. rice and salad bowls)

Pros: healthy food, location, friendly staff

great

Lovely place at the top of Kamppi. Lovely clean food suitable for 801010 with small modification. Raw cakes without added sugar

Pros: no gluten no added sugars genuinely vegan

Cons: little bit loud as it is in a shopping mall

yummy and filling

I had the coconut curry and it was a better-than-expected combination of ingredients, textures, and flavours. I don't remember what my friend ordered, but she liked her dish too.

Some have commented about this place being pricey, but it is Helsinki after all, so I'd say the prices weren't too over the top.

Also, some complained about this place being inside a shopping mall, but at least you can get some natural light at this place, as opposed to being in a basement food court type of place.

Pros: delicious

Filling vegan food

Filling dishes but a little pricey and a con is that it's situated in a shopping mall if you are not into that.

Health food

A fully vegan place, so I should be able to give it five stars. I just didn't feel like it after visiting here. I kind of like the surroundings even though located in a mall. But the staff was not interested in customer service. The guy behind the counter made no effort to introduce their food or drinks, so I just had to guess. Also he didn't speak Finnish, which is not a problem to me but could be to many who don't understand English.
Everything we ate was quite tasty and quite beautiful, but after the cold encounter with the staff, fancy "health" food and high prices I felt like this is not my place.

Pros: Vegan place, Food if beautiful and it tastes nice

Cons: Uninterested staff, Leaves you hungry, Pricey

"classy breakfast"

Small place but the stuff is really nice and friendly. I had a green smoothie bowl which was really tasty and beautifully decored. Prices there are a bit pricey but I understand the location pays a part in that too. You can find all kind of healthy foods there.

Awesome salads

We went there and had salads (I took the sort of "ceasar" one) and the hote plate. Everything was purely delicious ! Not too expensive for Finland (but definitely for the southern countries). We also took deserts but unfortunately, I didnt like them. Way too much mint for me in the chocolate ball.

Pros: Salads are very good, The waitress was lovely

Healthy and delicious

This little cafe is tucked away on the 5th floor of a shopping center. There is some seating inside which looks a little nicer but if you can't find space there are a few tables in the main space of the mall that are less peaceful.
However the food looks absolutely delicious, fresh and healthy. I had the Kale & Bowl and the Golden Glow Mylk and both were fantastic. The veggies are crunchy and although it doesn't llook like much the bowl is filling. The mylk was foamy and light.
Prices are alright for Helsinki, the bowl was 14€, the mylk 5€.
I'll definitely return to try other items. I believe everything is for take-away as well, they accept cards and the mall has free wifi.
The staff is friendly and helpful. If they're swamped it takes awhile to clear the tables but that is understandable.
Definitely recommended!

Pros: great food, lovely space inside, friendly staff

Cons: seating outside is less ideal

Easily my favourite place!

This all-vegan café/restaurant is simply just so cute, pretty and minimalistic & so is the food. In my opinion, there's nothing not to love. Yes, nothing is perfect. The downside may be the price and cleanliness of the tables, as sometimes the staff is so busy they haven't had the time to clear off the tables and wipe them. The price is more on the expensive side, but for what it is, it's worth every penny. I highly recommend this place!

Fresh, tasty, pricey

This is a cafe on the 5th floor of Kamppi mall. The food is of the fresh and healthy type: kale, quinoa, cashew cream cheese etc. Mostly served cold. Tastes nice though. The coffee is good too. There is an English menu if you need it.

As it's a mall cafe there isn't much atmosphere and it feels a bit expensive for counter service. €14 for a lunch dish and €5 for an oat milk latte.

Pros: All vegan, nice coffee

Cons: Expensive, no atmosphere
