If it was only the coffee quality I’d give a 4. Unfortunately, for some odd reason, the barista misunderstood me when I asked for an oat latte. Instead I got a cow’s milk latte AND an extra cup of warm milk?! And then suddenly they didn’t have oat milk, but soy milk when she had to redo the latte? And no I didn’t get a refund for the extra cup of milk charge. The soy latte was excellent though. And they do sell innocent smoothies and juices too. If that hadn’t been the case I would have rated a 2 for the service that left a lot to be desired. I’m sure it was just a bad day, unfortunately it was the day I popped by.

The best coffee at the airport and not only due to lack of better options. Swedish micro roaster Johan & Nyström added their second coffee place in Helsinki at the airport, just outside the SAS lounge. They offer 2 options for hand brews(usually one African and one from South America or Asia) as well as espresso based and batch brew. The staff here are perhaps not the same type of experts as at the showroom they have in the center but still can manage a good cup of coffee. I usually opt for Aeropress as it is difficult to screw that up and the beans used are good. Prices are a bit on the high side but it is after all an airport so I am just glad that they opted for a quality addition to the selection. I actually usually think this airport location beats the one in Terminal 2 in Stockholm but it is perhaps not as good as the Terminal 4 one in Stockholm. That said it is my go to place for coffee and sandwiches when at the airport in Helsinki.

The security check at the airport Helsinki Vantaa normally goes quite fast. That leaves lots of time for a hot drink and a small snack. And the probably best place for that is Johan & Nyström. The Swedish coffee chain that also sells its coffee through other vendors runs a really nice little café here at Terminal 1. You can find delicious hot and cold sandwiches with e.g. egg and caviar, peanutbutter and tomatoes or cheese and melon here. And of course you can get their delicious coffee as cappuccino, espresso or just black. Enjoy and have a good flight!
