8 bakery places in Helsinki we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Helsinki | Bakery across every city.
Helsinki's bakery boom runs on long-fermented sourdough and Nordic-Spanish pastry craft. Levain on Pursimiehenkatu in Punavuori helped start that wave, while Layers in Töölö is rated by many for the best croissants in Finland. Older houses hold the line too: Ekberg has baked on Bulevardi since 1852, and Konditoria Hopia in Töölö still turns out Karelian pies to a Sortavala recipe.
