Johan & Nyström

The kind of coffee shop you would want to bring back home with you! Located on seafront, in a hold warehouse with exposed red bricks, this place has ALL the things that make a coffee place phenomenal: sourcing and roasting their own beans, great materials (black eagle coffee machine, Ek43, chemex, v60, aeropress…) Raw desserts, pastries and sandwiches, complimentary wifi and aleo vera infused water and knowledgeable staff.
The place is large and you could easily find a place to spend an hour or more.
As quality comes with a high price tag, expect to spend €€€ here but it is totally worth it (priced as Paris best coffee stores)

Very freshly and innovatively designed coffee shop at a very beautiful location at Katajanokka. Paid attention to lightning right after I walked in. All in all very well decorated.
The coffee is totally worth the price and the americano I had was special compared to a normal one that you get in Helsinki. Professional baristas had a lot of knowledge about coffee and tea.
One of the best spots to enjoy a cup of coffee/​tea in Helsinki. Will go again.
Card payments only.

Nice coffee… The views of the bay are amazing and tranquil

Love the interior of the café! Coffee was also good… but if I come here again it’s for the space itself. They also sell coffee and all that goes too it, it’s a science :)

Johan and Nyström, the Swedish micro roaster, have found an absolutely fantastic space in Helsinki. It is a beautiful space spread over two floors facing the water. In the summer they have seats outdoors so one can sit right by the water and enjoy the beverages. The location is not smack in the center but in summer it is an easy walk and in winter take the tram or bus.
They serve their own coffee and tea and the quality is as good as in Stockholm. Actually I do often feel as if I get better coffee here as they seem to be more focused on serving a good cup every time. In the summer they also offer really nice cold brews and of course they also serve tea.
The pastries are often raw and vegan cakes but more importantly they taste wonderful and are often very nice looking. They do also have some sandwiches but the main thing to come here for is the coffee and the cakes.

Great coffee house on the water. I like that it is away from the busier part of the city. The café has a small selection of sandwiches, desserts (vegan friendly) and wider choices of coffee, infused waters and tea. Really cute place!

A bit off from the city centre this Johan & Nyström is situated in a beautiful, assumingly, old factory building with exposed bricks just by the waterfront below the Uspenskij cathedral. The interior alone is worth a 5, absolutely lovely. They have oatmilk and the oat latte was excellent. I also spied raw and vegan treats in the display but since it was only a to go latte it was no time for that.
I love that classy hipster Swedish tea and coffee merchant Johan & Nyström has branched out to other cities/​countries than Stockholm. And that they obviously serve just as excellent beverages there too. Nb that the staff surprisingly enough doesn’t speak Swedish, at least not when we visited.
I can easily see myself upping the review to 5 whenever I return to Helsinki AND have the time to sit down to actually eat/​work there — for now it’s not really fair to give that just because of the excellent oat latte and the wonderful, cosy interior… I’ll be back!

Great pit stop and location from the market square. I think price is a bit higher due to location but my latte still tastes great. Nice décor too.

Le meilleur café que j’ai bu à Helsinki et en Finlande du sud :)
À deux pas des brise glacé, très cosy, dur de choisir entre l’intérieur et la terrasse avec vue sur les bateaux à voile.

This place is located in a beautiful old building with really nice atmosphere. Freshly roasted coffee and interesting baked goods.

Morning meeting over a doppio (excellent) and a glazed cinnamon bun (tasty, sweet and fresh). But where did they hide the water with our coffee? Did not bring it, even though we reminded them.

Good coffee and service. Cozy to sit and talk with friends and get away from the brisk wind.

Johan & Nyström is a lovely little café with a relaxed ambiance. The décor is fun and inviting– the perfect place for a quiet coffee date or to sit and enjoy a book by yourself.
The seasonal cake I had was delicious– lightly sweet with a delicious berry flavor and beautifully presented. The cappuccino was perfect. You can tell they are using quality beans and milk and know how to use their machinery.
I will be coming here again!

Johan & Nystrom’s cosy interior of exposed brick, wood and assortment of comfy chairs can hardly be beaten. The coffee too is excellent and the stocking of ‘unbaked’ cakes a worthwhile curiosity. But it’s surprisingly expensive and (outrage!) the wifi a little patchy.
The interior is pretty special. Located in what appears to be a former warehouse right on one of Helsinki’s harbours, the red brick walls and huge wooden beams (though people of height should be warned that some of them are perilously low) immediately put you at ease. Add some colourful crockery, Finnish design and a variety of furniture, and the effect is the kind of classic mix of old and new that the Nordic countries do so well.
Coffee options are espresso and a range of filter options — Chemex, Aeropress and drip from what I could see. My girlfriend and I ordered a filter coffee, cappuccino, brownie and unbaked cake. Price? 18.6 euros! Even taking into account the mystifying and marked price difference between Aeropress/​drip coffee and espresso coffee, that does seem high. Much of the coffee equipment seemed expensive too. Fancy an Aeropress? Yours for just 41.50 euros! That’s 10 euros more than in the UK.
Hence while I liked the coffee and cakes, I’d return to Johan & Nystrom more for the cool yet cosy interior than a caffeine and cake fix.

I was here because I wanted a coffee at the airport. It was Ok but I still am a Starbucks fan all the way.

Johan & Nyström is one of those places where I like to hang out in the weekend thanks to its relaxed atmosphere, its tastefully decorated interiors and not to forget its delicious coffee! It’s worth going there after a nice walk around this part of Katajanokka.

Ein wirklich gemütlich eingerichtetes Café (obwohl es nicht wirklich klein ist) mit allerlei Leckereien. Ich hab mich an einem Sandwich mit
Roastbeef versucht — super! Der Kaffee und die nette Bedienung Runden das ganze prima ab. Bei stürmisch eisigem Wetter draußen genau das richtige!

Am Nordwestufer von Katajanokka, in einem stattlichen alten Kontorhaus gelegen, macht dieses Café von Johan & Nyström echt was her.
Gut organisiert, sehr ordentliche Produkte, aufmerksames Personal, Old-​School-​Atmosphäre, aber mit modernen Möbeln und einem internationalen, eher jungen Publikum und trotzdem ein bisschen unpersönlich.
Ich finde, Johan & Nyström ist exakt so, wie Starbucks vermutlich gerne wäre — aber nie sein wird ;-)

Lots of lovely seating both inside and out, and a lovely view of the water.
I ordered a cappuccino… I’m not so good at describing coffee, but for some reason I felt it was a little too bitter as if it were roasted too much/​burnt. That made me a little disappointed… but I maybe it’s personal taste :)

So, the location is still ace, same as the interior — love those brick walls, high ceiling and all that. However, something has changed: the vibe is slightly different and the latte a little less perfect. The owner has changed recently and usually changes like that have some effect. However, it could well be so that it just takes a while for them to get everything up and running smoothly. I’ll definitely be back, but for the time being I need to change the rating from 5 to 4 stars.

Hands-​down fantastic coffee. One of the best lattes I’ve had in quite a while. Sadly wasn’t very impressed with their chai latte (not as flavorful and robust).
We completely missed out on the great selection of pastries that others have mentioned. Maybe you need to arrive in the early morning? The cookies looked good but ridiculously overpriced at € 3.50 (for something like 5 bites). Their 3 – 4 cakes on display are raw (as in, uncooked, unprocessed) — the sea buckthorn cake was light and pretty unique, but ultimately just not as satisfying.
Great atmosphere, warm and cozy. I’ll go back for another latte.

We were really excited to try some coffee in Helsinki and were really, really excited when we found Johan & Nyström. The place is stunning. It’s in an a brick building located right on the water and has seating outside, which allowed us to enjoy an amazing cup of coffee and a fantastic pastry while taking in a gorgeous day.
Inside they had a great selection of pastries and coffee. The staff definitely knows coffee and made great drinks. They used really great beans and had beans for sale as well. Also, for tea drinkers they had tea available and seemed to have a lot of different choices. Inside there was lots of seating with comfy looking couches and nooks to plop down in.
If ever in Helsinki make sure to check out Johan & Nyström, you won’t be disappointed.

This place is truely a haven of peace when it’s windy or rainy outside ! Located close to seaport just at the bottom of Uspenski Cathedral, it’s really nice to know a place so comfy with sofas, great decoration and atmosphere. You can also go upstairs if you want a little bit of intimacy with your group of firends, I mean like girl talk :)
The service is like everything else, so cool ! Ok it’s very hype and trendy but people working here seems happy and cheerful, so you will feel quickly the same.
There is a large selection of homemade pastries.
I don’t like coffee so I can’t tell you how is it, but my friend said it was one of the better he ever drank, if you like real expresso.
So it’s a major coffeshop in Helsinki, don’t miss it

Un excellent café et très grand choix de thés, cafés et pâtisseries maison. Un vrai paradis car à Helsinki le café est bien souvent «à l’américaine», une souffrance pour les addicts au petit noir bien serré.
