About Roasberg
Roasberg opened by Helsinki’s Central Railway Station in 2015 with one idea: a coffee house that works like a living room. Stay for an espresso or stay all day. Nobody will hurry you out.
Our story
Savas Akpirinc and his brother had spent years in Helsinki’s restaurant trade when they opened Roasberg on Mikonkatu. They wanted what the city’s cafés didn’t yet offer: craft coffee, food made on site every morning, a glass of Italian wine in the evening, and enough room to settle in.
Ten years on, there are two Roasberg cafés, a basement bar called Sivukonttori and a gallery wall that has introduced more than 40 Helsinki artists. The idea hasn’t changed.

Who is Mr. Roasberg?
Mr. Roasberg is our invention: a cultured adventurer from another century, with a wild streak and a passport full of stamps, who still longed for one perfect place to share with friends. You’ll find his travel photographs on the stairs down to Sivukonttori.
Salads, sandwiches, soups and pastries are prepared in our own kitchens with produce from local suppliers. Vegan or gluten-free, there is always something for you.
Our walls are a gallery for Helsinki artists. A new show every month, free to see with your coffee.
Laptops welcome. Meetings welcome. Long lunches especially welcome.
