Passionate about coffee!
The story of Espresso House originated from the aspiration of two students, Charles and Elisabet Asker, to find a favorite place to spend time at. They opened a small café in Sweden, inspired by Italian coffee culture and a living room-like milieu. Since then, that small café has grown into the largest café chain in the Nordic countries, with almost 500 cafés in five different countries: Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and, most recently, Germany.
Despite the growth, the values of the family business have remained at the core of our operations. We offer our own bakery products and the quality level of our coffee is very high. We take our coffee seriously and only the best quality is good enough for our guests.
Our coffee meets the Specialty Coffee quality rating, and only 5% of all coffee in the world meets this quality requirement. Our motto is: “The best coffee to be enjoyed for the best guests in the world”.

I am delighted to announce that our outlet concept offers all this at incredibly affordable prices!

What makes Espresso House unique? – The brand's story, values, and taste experiences
Our story began in 1996 with a small passion in Sweden, and now we are proudly the most loved coffee chain in the Nordic countries! But do you know what makes us truly special? It's three things we never compromise on: authentic quality, respect for craftsmanship, and sincere hospitality. These values are evident in every encounter at our Helsinki Outlet café.
Each of our coffee beans undergoes strict quality control and ethical screening. We have seen the facilities where the beans come from with our own eyes – I dare say that you can see and taste the difference! Our baristas are passionate professionals for whom making the perfect espresso is an art form. Our selection includes both classics and bold new additions – yes, even the latest seasonal flavors that I secretly look forward to myself!
Environmental responsibility is not just a buzzword for us. It is part of our everyday life. At our Helsinki Outlet café, our packaging materials are environmentally friendly, and we are constantly striving to reduce our carbon footprint. I am particularly proud that our customers can enjoy premium coffee with a clear conscience.
Espresso House Helsinki Outlet – a café experience worth experiencing in person
Our café is located right in the heart of the shopping center, so it's easy for you to sit down for a moment and catch your breath while shopping. Sometimes I see our customers arranging to meet up with each other here – "Let's meet at Espresso House!" is a familiar phrase.
In our interior design, I wanted to combine typical Scandinavian clarity with a warm atmosphere. Have you noticed our large windows? They let in wonderful natural light, and our comfortable armchairs are a lovely place to relax. Our team – those wonderful people behind the counter – do their utmost to make every customer feel welcome. They often remember regular customers' favorite orders, which I think is the essence of good service!
A selection that charms – premium coffees, teas, and treats
It's hard not to boast about our selection – I'm a foodie myself, and I can say that whether it's a rich cappuccino (my favorite!), a fresh fruit smoothie, or a delicious filled roll, we have something for every taste.
Specialty coffees and smoothies – find your favorite
At Helsinki Outlet, you can treat yourself to specialty coffees. Our selection includes all our classics – lattes and cappuccinos, of course – as well as seasonal specialties (those pumpkin spice lattes in the fall that some people secretly wait for all year).
And you know what? Every cup is made with great passion. Our baristas are constantly training, and you should see how they froth the milk to just the right temperature!
Our tea selection is on par with our coffee selection – I'm extremely picky when it comes to tea, so I've only selected teas for our menu that I can wholeheartedly recommend. Black, green, white, rooibos – the selection is wide. Our customers particularly praise our Earl Grey tea, which is slightly more aromatic than usual.
On hot summer days, I can't think of anything better than a cold, refreshing smoothie! We make our smoothies from real fruit and berries – no concentrates or ready-made mixes.
Sandwiches, salads, and pastries from the café – fresh, high-quality, and always affordable
Our coffee deserves equally wonderful food options, and we certainly have them! At Helsinki Outlet's Espresso House, sandwiches and salads are not just "something to eat" options, but real taste experiences. We make our breads on site every morning, and the fillings are fresh and generous. Our avocado and goat cheese bagel is so popular that it often sells out by lunchtime – so be sure to come early!
Baked goods are my passion and my pride and joy. The aroma of croissants in the morning will make your mouth water as soon as you walk in the door, and our chocolate cookies are the best I've ever tasted (and I've tasted a LOT of cookies in my life!). Our classic cinnamon bun is made according to a Swedish recipe, but slightly adapted to Finnish tastes – with a little more cardamom than usual. Every pastry is handmade, and you can really taste it.
Our Espresso House team has worked hard to tailor our selection to Finnish tastes. We have asked our customers, interviewed coffee enthusiasts, and tested countless versions ourselves to get everything just right.
The changing seasons are reflected in our selection. In winter, we bring out our Christmas selection, which is full of gingerbread, cinnamon, and star anise. In summer, our summer menu offers fresh, light flavors. Every time I change the seasonal menu, I feel a little wistful—but then I get excited about the next flavors!
