I have to say it again, it was &#8220;SUNDAY&#8221;. Though I wanted to have sweets and coffee at my favorite Cafe Gabriole, they were closed on Sundays. And it was about 4 pm when we tried to have a coffee break after walking a few hours taking photos of beautiful &#8220;ruska&#8221; (colored leaves in Finnish) and started feeling tired and cold. Most cafes which were open on Sundays close at 4 pm there. My other favorite Porvoo Roastery which is well known for their freshly roasted coffee \u00a0was, of course, open for their generous opening hours, even on Sundays 10-23 o&#8217;clock. But I wanted to have good Finnish pulla.<a href=\"http:\/\/cafe.www.smileyumi.com\/2013\/10\/16\/charming-cafe-in-old-provoo\/wp_20131013_010\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-727\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cafe.www.smileyumi.com\/2013\/10\/16\/charming-cafe-in-old-provoo\/wp_20131013_004\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-723\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" alt=\"WP_20131013_004\" src=\"http:\/\/cafe.www.smileyumi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2013\/10\/WP_20131013_004-280x375.jpg\" width=\"280\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It took some time for us to find the one but we were delighted to find &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.porvoonhelmet.net\/tee-ja-kahvihuone-helmi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Helmi<\/a>&#8221; was still open until 5 pm.\u3000It looked like a good old cafe and we were excited once we opened the door and saw the coffee room. It was lovely lovely cafe with antique (Russian, I think) decoration. \u00a0(Now I read about the cafe in their web page and it has been there since 1983). They didn&#8217;t have pulla but I didn&#8217;t mind anymore \ud83d\ude09 Cakes look super. They had only coffee and black tea but no herbal tea which I wanted to have. But it didn&#8217;t bother me that much. Cakes look lovely! It was easy for me to make a choice.
