Kanniston Leipomo

This place brings back memories from my childhood. There’s something very traditional and sweet about this quaint little neighborhood bakery, which is located in a rather trendy area. The bread is excellent and so are their sweet treats. I’m a fan of their cinnamon rolls. Service is nice, but nothing really special, which kind of suits the place.

I’m so pregnant. I give up. I want 3 things these days: pastries, potatoes, and sleep. Kanniston Leipomo is halfway between my home and Neuvola. This is dangerous since I am of the belief that if I’m a good girl at the doctor, I should get a prize. My prize of choice? The apple puff pastry and chocolate croissants. Oh MY YUM. They are featuring apple right now and to be perfectly honest, they may be going a bit overboard: I don’t really want EVERYTHING to be apple-​laden everyday (oops! Did I just admit I go there almost everyday?) but it’s delicious just the same.
My real favorites are their cookies and their chocolate croissants. The health conscious me says the croissants are a good mix between between buttery flakiness and a little chocolate. The pregnant me says PUT SOME MORE CHOCOLATE IN YOUR CROISSANTS NOW. They’re still outstanding. The bread is amazing — they’re now working with a local brewery to make what my husband says is an outstanding beer bread.
On top of all that, it’s our quaint and sweet neighborhood bakery and the people running the shop are very nice. It’s both very fortunate and very dangerous that Kanniston Leipomo is located approximately 2 minutes walking distance from our house.
