Cozy armosphere

Fully vegan cafe. Very nice, relaxed and laid back atmosphere. Serves lunch which was a salad (14,50€) and had 3 topping options (tofu skewers, Vöner or vegan cheese). I had it with vöner and that was beautifully presented and tasty. Lunch includes coffee or tea.

Pros: Fully vegan, Cozy atmosphere, Tasty food

Favourite breakfast spot in Helsinki.

Cozy spot with friendly staff and exceptionally tasty food.
We had overnight oats, croissants and cinnamon buns with a coffee each and it was all exceptional (seriously, try a croissant, best I've ever had!)
Highly recommended this wonderful place.

Cute place

The staff was very friendly, even though they had a lot to do. I had a toast and a cinnamon bun, which I was lucky enough to get fresh out of the oven. Both were really good.
The paintings around are a nice add-on.

Pros: Good food, Friendly staff, Nice art

Cute place for lunch

I went there for lunch and didn’t get disappointed. I had the tofu skewers with salad and they were absolutely delicious. Also, there was a free coffee included afterwards, which I did not expect and therefore was extremeley happy about. Loved the place!

Fantastic cinnamon bun

I forgot to take a photograph, but the cinnamon buns are superb. So is the pepperoni toast.

Really cozy breakfast place

You get the feeling that you are in your best friends living room, and you get to eat freshly baked pastries. They don't look great, but they taste AMAZING.

Pros: Cozy, Freshly baked pastries, Cheap

Sunday afternoon

Arriving early in the morning, I didn’t have many options in the city centre. Luckily, I found Encanto.
The atmosphere was incredibly cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy a leisurely meal.

The coffee was great and I liked the croissant and toast. Service was also tremendous.

los smooties no son naturales

vi que los smooties los hacían directamente del tetrapack de jugo de naranja del súper, mínimo tuvieran las naranjas pero te venden una cosa por otra, la ensalada muy X, sin sabor

Pros: no me gustó

Cons: jugo de naranja de paquete en smooties, sin sabor la ensalada

Tofu Skewers, Watermelon & the Perfect Pulla

Encanto Art Café in Helsinki is a charmingly offbeat spot that blends creativity with conscious dining. I visited for lunch on a sunny afternoon, a welcome shift after a spell of rain, and took a seat outside with a colleague. Despite the lunchtime peak, the brief wait was entirely reasonable and well worth it.

I ordered the salad with tofu skewers, which arrived attractively plated. The salad was fresh and generously portioned, with an unexpected but delightful addition of watermelon slices. The tofu skewers were grilled to perfection - nicely seasoned and satisfying - and the dressing, dotted with black sesame seeds, brought a subtle depth to the dish. It left me comfortably full without being heavy.

With the meal came a complimentary coffee, which I enjoyed alongside a pulla (purchased separately) taken to go. Their pulla never disappoints - soft, delicately spiced, and consistently excellent. It’s one of those rare items that could easily justify a journey across town.

Encanto offers a warm (in the human sense) and unmistakably personal environment. Its artistic flair and independent spirit make it a refreshing alternative to the more formulaic chain cafés around Helsinki. The overall experience balances nourishing food with an atmosphere that feels both welcoming and expressive.

Pros: well-balanced salad with excellent tofu skewers, Outstanding, consistently delicious pulla, Independent, artsy ambience with personal touches

Cons: Limited outdoor seating can; at peak times...

Good Breakfast

The breakfast is really fair with good price - 10 to 12€ depending if you choose 3 or 4 items. The juice and vegan cheese are not homemade though.

Cozy, calm place for a bite or a coffee

We stopped for a quick lunch and enjoyed the calm, very local ambiance. The waitress (owner) was very friendly and we were soon talking to some local regulars, which is what I love to do when traveling. Coffee was good and our small lunch was tasty and filling.

Pros: Great local ambiance, Neighborhood vibe, Good food

Cons: Vey limited menu
