S&O accompanied by a dear friend Anna Hakala walked into Gran Delicato, where coffees scream and salads yell in greek; a language we don't speak. BUT Certainly like... specially after the delicato experience.
A place for everyone we noticed, Cozily set, built to let in a lot of sunlight in the front. Oh don't be disappointed dear fellow dark corner seekers, there is just that for you tucked in the back. Straightforward simple arrangement where you can snug as a bug in a rug for hours talking philosophy.
That smile translates to "Lock up your daughters" for I've got one a penny two a penny hot cross buns.
When S&O showed up at Gran delicato, we were oblivious to everything else as the man at the counter, gained control over our focus. Under his spell we almost ate the sand in a huge bucket resembling brown sugar, displayed on the counter. The taste of ciabattas makes one forget that we don't understand his sense of humour, nor do we comprehend the reason behind the display of random artifacts displayed in the café.
We recommend all S&O's to enjoy the pleasures of sipping on greek coffee, and munch up huge salad's soaking up the cheerful ambience. It is one of the few places in Helsinki where you pay while you leave. we noticed regular's are treated as friends. We were reminded of Hyderabadi Iranian cafes at how they remember everyone's order. A speciality that S&O hold in high regard. We also noticed how happy staff looks; happy taking pride in their cafe, their work and what they serve and how they serve. S&O complies.
PS: S&O's favourite is the eggplant and artichoke ciabatta + the toffee that comes with your cappuccino.
XOXO
S&O
