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.

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.

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.

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.
