Inside the Mieli Aitta Shop
An open room where you can see the roof pieces join, no ceiling.Grey wood panels of light and dark gray, 4 x 2 panelling run vertically and horizontally

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.

This cafe has an eye catcher best seen during the summer when there is lot's of daylight.Enter into this sort-of-dark attic and enjoy the site of illuminated paper-string hand-made flowers on a table.
