Kiva torikahvila Oulussa. Paljon vaihtoehtoja makean ja suolaisen nälkään. Pehmiksistä tarjolla sellaisiakin makuja, mitä ei ole ollut perusjätskikiskoilla. Korvapuustit valtavia ja maku priimaa. Palvelu nopeaa vaikka jonoa oli jonkin verran. Paljon istumapaikkoja ulkona, isot varjot. Pöytiä reunoilla väljemmin, joten mahtuu varmasti lastenrattaiden yms.kanssa. Lokkeja pyörii ympärillä, joten ruokia vahdittava.

We only stopped for iced coffee and a pastry. It was quite busy but the service was quick and friendly. We enjoyed seating down and enjoying the market square but found the pricing expensive.

Really nice summer restaurant/coffee & ice cream stand with amazing location! Right next to the sea in the Market Area of Oulu. Large variety of sweet & salty pastries, grill food and lot of different ice cream flavours. Plenty of tables, also big ones so you can fit in even a larger groups of people, oh and dogs are allowed too!

Hyvän makuiset ja isot annokset, lämpimäisiä joskus joutuu hieman odottamaan. Paljon eri vaihtoehtoja niin makeaa, kuin suolaista. Usein hieman jonoa tiskille. Pöytä ja istumapaikka löytyy yleensä aina. Ystävällinen palvelu.
