Layers Bakery ★ 4.5

toolo · Cygnaeuksenkatu 6, 00100 Helsinki

Hours: Wed-Sun mornings, until sold out

Layers is a tiny Töölö bakery many rate for the best croissants in Finland, run by Finnish-Spanish baker Daniel Tobal Autiokari from a small counter.

Levain ★ 4.4

Hours: Daily, mornings to late afternoon

Levain helped start Helsinki's bakery boom on long-fermented sourdough and crisp pastel de nata; the Punavuori branch is an all-day bakery and eatery.

Tip: The crisp pastel de nata is the bake to cross town for. There is a second branch in Töölö on Runeberginkatu.

Way Bakery ★ 4.3

kallio · Agricolankatu 9, 00530 Helsinki

Hours: Daily, mornings to afternoon

Way Bakery on Agricolankatu in Kallio is an all-day bakery, wine bar and eatery known for rustic sourdough and sweet buns; at night it becomes Maukku.

Tip: Daytime bakery and natural-wine room; the dinner sister Maukku takes over the space in the evening.

Hours: Daily, mornings to early evening

Ekberg has baked on Bulevardi since 1852, the oldest bakery in Helsinki, its patisserie counter turning out classic Finnish pastries and breads.

Tip: Buy from the patisserie counter to take away, or sit down for the old-school breakfast. A Bulevardi institution since 1852.

Levain Töölö ★ 4.2

toolo · Runeberginkatu 29, 00100 Helsinki

Hours: Daily, mornings to afternoon

The Töölö branch of Levain on Runeberginkatu runs the same sourdough-led programme as the original, with bread, pastries and an all-day menu.

Tip: Quieter than the Punavuori original and a short walk from the opera. Same sourdough and pastel de nata.
