Turn your head toward the back of the cafe and you will see another room. This is where you can sit down to enjoy coffee,tea or read local newspapers or magazines.What gives this cafe an extra edge over others in Vammala, is the grey paneled wood which create that old Finnish countryside effect.
Grey interior coloration,woody smell, combined with modern tables and chairs.Handcraft felting on the walls appears to really match the oldish inn environment.
