Good Life Coffee Oy - Helsinki

This place has a lot of positivity to it: great relaxed atmosphere good food options that are not uptight soft spoken and cool baristas after all, if you are here for kahvi, it is probably the best in town. I live pretty close to this place and the proximity is always tempting me ever morning to visit here just for the coffee and granola (home made, but sadly not for sale to take home). People who visit here are very casual and sharing tables is a joy. The music is nice, but a bit on the louder side. Worth a detour from the city centre.

This is a nice little cafe on the outskirts of the city center in Helsinki. They are focused on providing good quality coffee from mainly roasteries across the Nordic countries. There is usually at least 3 or 4 different roasters represented here and several different coffees from those ones to select from. Coffees are made to order, usually on the Aeropress which produces a nice smooth cup. There is of course the option of having espresso based beverages as well. All the coffees here are prepared close to perfection so the coffee itself is a reason to come here and I always try to visit when I am in Helsinki. There are of course other things than coffee here and the teas and soft drinks are good as well as the chocolate. They do also sell a lot of coffee gear for home so if you are in need of a grinder, cups, scales etc this is also the place to go. Service is always friendly and they often take the time to chat about coffee or music for that matter (the owner appears equally interested in music). Only drawback has been no wifi, otherwise I would be able to hang here and work.

Love it here! This is the first coffee place I have encountered in Europe that has made me feel so much at home. Yes, there are lots of super cute or cozy joints that I have gone to, but this one just felt like a place I would have spent a lot of time in back in California. So maybe it's just that West Coast vibe that I love. The coffee sold here comes from all over not just Nordic countries but even a place in Portland, Oregon. The wall has minimalistic design, with framed indie rock show posters, which serve as a nice companion to the underground hip hop I heard playing that day. There is also ample seating, inside and out. I like that this place is also run by coffee lovers, and that the fact is evident. While there are a handful of other snacks and beverages, coffee is the main focus, and there is plenty of merchandise on sale, including presses and other necessities. The folks at Good Life know what's up, and if you want to too, stop on by.

This place is indeed quite famous. I tried cappuccino and aeropress and both were excellent. I will definitely visit here again when I go to Helsinki.

Your first coffee break in Helsinki. They have Batch, Aeropress and pour overs with a rotating selection of beans, plus all espresso drinks. The menu has good breakfast snack and vegan food (more! . I would get the aeropress and a bag with the same beans so you can make them home and know what to shoot for.
