Cafetoria has roasted coffee since 2001, offering espresso, filter and decaf blends alongside single microlots such as Ecuador La Josefina sidra-washed and the Marquino from Brazil. Named Roastery of the Year 2026 at the Helsinki Coffee Festival, it runs cafés in Töölö, Aalto University and Lohja plus a gelato lab.
Best for Single-origin microlot coffee
Kallio, Helsinki
Good Life Coffee has roasted specialty coffee in Helsinki since 2012, buying directly from producers it names on each bag. Its lots include an Ethiopian Siko Washed and a Colombian La Colorada Geisha, sold alongside monthly subscriptions.
Best for Helsinki-roasted direct-sourced coffees since 2012
Good Life Coffee has roasted in Helsinki since 2012, building its business on direct relationships with producers rather than buying blind through import brokers -- a sourcing model the company says has stayed consistent through more than a decade of roasting. Its current single-origin list includes a Siko Washed from Ethiopia, singled out on the site as the roaster's own pick, and a La Colorada Geisha from Colombia, naming a variety prized among specialty buyers for its floral, tea-like cup.
The catalog rotates seasonally with harvest timing rather than running a fixed menu year-round, spanning filter, espresso, dark roast and decaf coffee alongside drip bags and equipment. A subscription service delivers new arrivals and special editions monthly, with free shipping within Finland on orders of two or more bags and flat EU rates for smaller international orders.
The roastery lists recognition from the Helsinki Coffee Festival and a 'Nordics best roaster' distinction among its credentials -- claims made on its own site rather than independently verified here, but consistent with a company whose stated identity, 'Been At It Since 2012,' rests on sourcing and roasting longevity rather than cafe count or retail footprint.
Helsinki
Helsingin Kahvipaahtimo has roasted coffee at Teurastamo in Helsinki since 2011, selling beans, office-coffee subscriptions and gift products, and running roastery tours. In winter it also operates the Päiväkahvibaari café in Vallila.
Best for Small-batch roasted coffee beans
Punavuori, Helsinki
Kaffa Roastery runs a Helsinki cafe and roastery selling house blends like AINA and Espresso Inferno alongside single-origin and cascara products. Its Fermentation Project with James Hoffmann features Guatemalan beans processed using different post-harvest fermentation methods.
Best for James Hoffmann fermentation-project coffees and Espresso Inferno blends
Kaffa Roastery runs its cafe and roastery in Helsinki's Punavuori district on a mission stated plainly on its own site: that Finns should drink not just the most coffee in the world, but the best. The house range includes named blends such as AINA, AINA Tumma, Espresso Inferno, Herra Korppi, Lempea Voima and Go'morron, alongside a decaffeinated DEKAFFA line and cascara -- dried coffee cherry, sold as its own product rather than discarded as processing waste.
The roastery's most notable current release is a collaboration rather than a house blend: The Fermentation Project, developed with James Hoffmann, the coffee writer and former World Barista Champion known for his coffee-review channel. The project is built around Guatemalan beans processed through multiple different post-harvest fermentation methods, sold as a limited-edition set that lets customers taste the same origin coffee treated in different ways side by side.
Beyond retail bags, Kaffa runs office coffee programs, HORECA supply for hotels and restaurants, private-label roasting and coffee machine distribution, plus public cupping and brewing courses at the Punavuori roastery -- positioning itself as both a neighborhood cafe and a working supplier to Helsinki's wider coffee trade.
