Finnish Cafes in Vammala, Finland located in an ancient village with a rural style!

Small brick house, with stone foundation.Granite foundation is at least 1-3 feet thick.

Glean off these cafes in Vammala for some gift shop design ideas.

Mieli Aitta's Cafe is a place you will want to stop by even if you are only driving through Vammala. Vanhankirkontie 17 is where this old Finnish brick cafe is located. Is that a Viking style fence?
Drink your coffee inside or in the outside area,but do be sure while you are enjoying your coffee,to also look inside the cafe. .

Blue,green,red,all the colors of the rainbow.Socks are knit by hand on display.colorful and attractive!Then walk in and you may notice handknitted socks hanging on the right side.
Socks are always 'In Style'in Finland when it is cold!


Felt eggs are soft to the touch. These felt gifts are about the size of your hand.More on display near the entrance: Felt hot pads,a hand-made mobile phone case-holder,and other felt gifts.

...up closer...

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.Inside Mieli Aitta shop...

Fluffy white rabbit skins on a table.Turning 180 from the previous picture.Yep,the door you walked in. Now you see the entance door of Mieli Aitta's cafe.To the left some rabbit skins, the walls are decorated with handcrafted felt designs.

Aitta Kahvila -A Granary style Cafe near Holy Mary's church in Vammala.

Red oil painted wooden granary,two storys high as large as a small house.Converted into a cafe, near to where our fishing tour guide 'Mikko' launches his fishing boat. His Mom runs this cafe.She offers coffee with pasteries, ice-cream,drinks, and Finnish designed handcrafts. Cafe a' la Granary...

The outside of the granary cafe.Facing the opposite direction of the previous picture.Looking down the road we travelled on.
The Granary...

The upstairs is also the attic.After walking through the cafe door, you see the downstairs of the cafe,(not shown) but what is worth the look is in the attic.So we walk up the wide wooden steps and see..10x10 inch wooden cants holding up the roof...
The Granary's attic...

An old table with benches upstairs in the attic.What cought my eyes at first.This table with benches.On display.
The table...

Natural light coming from the outside shining on a small table illuminating flowers.
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.

Looking down from the attic to where Mikko's mom is serving up the coffee.A 15 foot drop to the ground floor.

There is Mikkos mom serving up some coffee.She serves some yummy pastries too!!
Looking down...

Walking back downstairs through the cafe going out.The main door.Original as it gets! Made by a country blacksmith.
The door going out.Huge,old style with large old iron handle,grey wood.
The iron door handle...
