Café Kaila

On Saturday evening we drove to Heinola and visited one of the most beautiful cafés I've ever been to. Café Kaila is located right by a lake and when standing on the bridges that go across the lake, you can see rapids that flow like crazy. There's a lot of traffic by the water and despite the fact that the cafe was only recently founded and that it doesn't even have a website yet, it was all crowded.

Pretty scenery on the cafés yard

The café was spread on a wide area that had ponds, beautiful sheer white bridges, flowerbeds and terraces for customers to sit down and enjoy their coffees outside. We walked around the area and were like.. really?? They have this in Heinola?? Wow. Why haven't we heard of this before?

In May I went to our cottage for a weekend with my boyfriend. I had just come back from my exchange and we really enjoyed our time there. We also got the random idea to go visit Heinola for coffee and cake but didn't find anything nice there. I think it was a late Saturday afternoon and everything was closed. Eventually we found one cafe but it was more like a pub :D Ohhh if café Kaila had existed already back then.. Next time I'll take him there as well.

The four of us trying to choose cakes

The weather was nice and warm so we decided to go sit outside in the sun. We ordered cappuccinos and two different cakes. My mom and her fiancé shared tiramisu and me and my sis chose chocolate cake with berries. Mmmmm :P

They also had an ice cream kiosk in the café area and since we only had one piece of cake for the two of us, me and my sis had another round of treats and went to get some vanilla-cookie ice cream :P

After the coffee break we had to say goodbye to our mom. We hopped into the car and took off to another destination, grand mom's! :)
