Our Review
Cafe Jaalan Helmi is a cozy cafe located in the middle of the most beautiful Jaala, near Kouvola. They offer homemade cinnamon buns, pastries, cheesecakes, roulades, meat pies, and other savory pies. During lunch, they serve delicious home-cooked meals with a fresh salad bar and homemade buns. The cafe has seating for 32 people, and a small terrace for 12 people opens in the summer. They also have an alcohol license. They also mention Areena Café, a cafe located next to the Jaala Arena summer theater.
We stopped at this place on our way to our lake house in Huutotöyry. This cafeteria has super friendly service by the owners and all the bakery delicatessen were fresh and delicious. I highly recommend this place if you visit Jaala!
