really chill vibe and friendly staff! I enjoyed the matcha latte

A bit out of the way but the coffee and korvapuusti were great. Coffee was light roast and pretty mellow. Perfect milk temp and texture. Went back for seconds.

The standard of coffee in Helsinki is fantastic and yet this place stands out. A chill spot that is well worth coming too… And yes the Beatles music is playing ha

Lemon cake is very good, very balance sweetness and tangy combination, it's so moist as well,perfect paired with their tasty americano. Definitely will come back again soon.

Many time i heard about this cafe on group but today get a chance to visit here. and it quickly became one of my favorite spots. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with soft lighting and comfortable seating that makes it perfect for unwinding. I ordered a coffee, which was rich, smooth, and clearly made with care—truly one of the best I’ve had in a while. What made the experience even more special was how peaceful it was to sit by the window with my book. The staff was friendly but unobtrusive, letting me enjoy my quiet time without interruptions. It’s the kind of place where time slows down, and you can just savor the moment. If you’re looking for a calm, charming spot to sip great coffee and get lost in a book, this café is a gem!”

Fantastic almond croissants and quality cappuccino with oat milk. What a wonderful little place in a surprising location. Feels like entering a different world from the stuffy mall and metro station area to this cozy cafe. Inviting ambience with relaxing music, comfortable lighting and friendly service. Only had a chance to take out this time, but would definitely love to come back and sit down to enjoy.

Yesterday Cafe is a lovely, calm and welcoming cafe that is a hidden gem. Amazing pastries and wonderful coffee with talented baristas passionate about their craft. A joy to visit and experience

Wonderful little café with a lovely atmosphere. The coffee is super good and they have delicious cakes and pastries. In the summer they have iced version of the coffees. You can buy specialty coffee beans for takeaway. The place is also dog friendly. :)
