Freeze coffee pop-up

Want to try some really good coffee? And have it prepared by someone that really knows how to make it good? Well, then you still have a few days left to check out the Freeze Coffee Pop-up in Forum.

Right next to the entrance at Mannerheimintie you find the small cafe that serves some really good cappucinos, lattes, espressos and also some amazing filter coffee. 

The pop-up is still open until Sunday. And if you are really fast you will even get a half prized coffee there. The first 10 people that come to Freeze and mention HelsinkiIn get their coffee for a 50% discount. 

And if you want to know more on how to make really good coffee at home check out their youtube channel. There you get some useful tips.

First real electronics store in the city center

It was one of the big downsides of the Helsinki city center. There was no big and well sorted electronics store in the city center. But those times are over. With the new lower level of Forum Gigantti finally came to the center.

Normally Gigantti can only be found in industrial areas outside the city and only be reached by car. The new one at Forum spreads across two levels though and has a pretty decent selection of electronics.

Check it out!

A new level of Forum

Now the Forum Kauppakeskus in the center has gotten bigger. After a long rennovation the lowest level has been completed and opened for the public.

Check out a lot of new shops and restaurants on additional 6000 m² downstairs and stay up to date on their special events and offers through their website.

Have a great start into the week!

Under the blue sky

The sun is out but it's still too cold to sit outside. Luckily there are alternatives how you can still sit under the blue sky without the need of a blanket or warm clothes.

Forum offer not only one but many options. Their new upper level with several restaurants and cafés is covered by a glass big glass roof. Or just have an after work drink at Apollo and sit in the glass covered court yard.

Have a good start into the week!
