Cute café - Edit
I had the vegan pepperoni toast and my boyfriend had the vöner salad. Everything was delicious! A small cute café. Will revisit if I go to Helsinki again.

Tofu Skewers, Watermelon & the Perfect Pulla - Edit
Encanto Art Café in Helsinki is a charmingly offbeat spot that blends creativity with conscious dining. I visited for lunch on a sunny afternoon, a welcome shift after a spell of rain, and took a seat outside with a colleague. Despite the lunchtime peak, the brief wait was entirely reasonable and well worth it.
Read moreI ordered the salad with tofu skewers, which arrived attractively plated. The salad was fresh and generously portioned, with an unexpected but delightful addition of watermelon slices. The tofu skewers were grilled to perfection - nicely seasoned and satisfying - and the dressing, dotted with black sesame seeds, brought a subtle depth to the dish. It left me comfortably full without being heavy.
With the meal came a complimentary coffee, which I enjoyed alongside a pulla (purchased separately) taken to go. Their pulla never disappoints - soft, delicately spiced, and consistently excellent. It’s one of those rare items that could easily justify a journey across town.
Encanto offers a warm (in the human sense) and unmistakably personal environment. Its artistic flair and independent spirit make it a refreshing alternative to the more formulaic chain cafés around Helsinki. The overall experience balances nourishing food with an atmosphere that feels both welcoming and expressive.
Pros: well-balanced salad with excellent tofu skewers, Outstanding, consistently delicious pulla, Independent, artsy ambience with personal touches
Cons: Limited outdoor seating can; at peak times...

Good Breakfast - Edit
The breakfast is really fair with good price - 10 to 12€ depending if you choose 3 or 4 items. The juice and vegan cheese are not homemade though.

Cozy, calm place for a bite or a coffee - Edit
We stopped for a quick lunch and enjoyed the calm, very local ambiance. The waitress (owner) was very friendly and we were soon talking to some local regulars, which is what I love to do when traveling. Coffee was good and our small lunch was tasty and filling.

Interesting place, lovely staff, some odd flavours. - Edit
Encanto is a really unique place and the staff were lovely and helpful. Some of the flavours in our food were a bit unusual though. Not off but unusual pairings. Maybe just different to what we’re used to. Also there wasn’t anything special about the ingredients used or the quality so only a 3 star from me. They were closing early for an event so maybe I just need to go back another time. Addendum: the cinnamon buns were great (got takeaway).

Small portions - Edit
Toast was really nice, I liked the cheese. The breakfast was small - you can choose either 3 or 4 things including drinks so an orange juice, coffee, rye bread and crossaint altogether were the entire meal. Which was nice but small.

A bit disappointed - Edit
The place and the staff are lovely, but I was disappointed with the breakfast. The orange juice wasn’t good (came from a bad quality juice box), the slices of bread with toppings were barely ok, the croissant was just ok. The price went 2€ up so 10€ was way too much for that.
