Great place, good coffee and original old school Finnish donuts. Wonderful view from the tower. One of only real sights of Tampere.
This tiny cafe is set at the base of a circa 1920 observation tower. It is well worth it to pay the 2 euros to climb up and enjoy the view on a clear day. The Cafe says they serve the world's best donuts. They were a bit sweet for our taste, as they are coated in sugar crystals, but they certainly give the cider donuts from Cider Hollow in VT a run for the championship.
You absolutely must try the cardamom doughnuts sold in the cafe below! Best when they're fresh.
The tower has a beautiful view of the region, and the surrounding park is just beautiful for walking.
Legendary "Näkötornin munkit" (doughnuts) are amazing. Also, atmosphere, scenery and service are great.
Best donuts in the World and traditional lemonade soda also available.
The Pyynikki Tower Cafeteria has the best tasting donuts in town. A must-visit for tourists (and locals).
Very rustic and eclectic place. Was told by a local that it is a very Tampere place to visit! Apparently it's the tallest (highest) esker in the world! Who knew?
Just eat their donuts, you are gonna love it, I bet. One of the best in Europe, some people say best in the world for that matter.
THE DONUTS (MUNKKIS)! My goodness, they're good! You'll likely have to wait (and wait) as the tiny cafe can't accommodate the demand always, but it IS WORTH IT - WAIT CALMLY! AND THEN DIE AND GO TO DONUT HEAVEN.
