A cosy cafe in a beautifully renovated wooden house. Delicious cakes, sandwiches and lunch. The best thing about this place, however, is the Sunday brunch! It is so popular that you will have to reserve your table in advance (easily done through their website). In the evening, check out the pub in the basement, another hidden gem of Oulu!
