    I tried the panna cotta with rhubarb and bilberry topping with rhubarb juice. The panna cotta was a bit softer than I expected, its texture was similar to that of a flan cake. The rhubarb juice cup was really small and has no ice :( still a nice place to chill when walking along the river.

    A perfect period and unique place!!! A unique experience that is special to the place. The cafe is beautiful with a period design that is meticulous in every detail. The cakes are wonderful. Insanely delicious beauties and delicately and gracefully designed. Delicious tea and undoubtedly the most delicious coffee in Turku!

    Ihana kahvila ja miljöö. Mahtavat pannukahvit ja herkulliset leivonnaiset! Norjalainen munkki, saksanpähkinäleivos ja Britakakku veivät kielen mennessään - iso suositus! The best cafe in town!

    This cafe has a cute, historical theme that matches the yummy foods they offer. The staff wear old time clothes to match as well. I came here twice, and will probably visit a few more times before I leave Turku. The key to enjoying Cafe Qwensel is to go early; the earlier you go, the more that is made available to you. Whatever they make in the morning is all they will serve that day. First time I went right before closing; 32 minutes to be exact. There were a few slices of pie, and I just missed the last donut. Everything left didn’t really look the most appetizing, so I just got a cup of coffee. They bring your order to you, so you just pick a spot and wait as they serve you’re order on a unique tray. In fact, all of the dish ware were unique. Varying teapot styles, different teacup patterns, varying tray styles and types; I liked how each piece was very different and told a different story. My coffee came out on a little green tray in a brown pot, with a little milk saucer and cup of sugar cubes. The second time I went was well planned; it opens at 10am, so we arrived at 10:40am. At this point they were still baking a few things, but had out some fresh pies, donuts, and juice. I got the cherry juice, cheesecake, and donut while my friend got black tea and the walnut cake. THAT WALNUT CAKE WAS GOOD! I highly recommend it if you don’t have any nut allergies. They also offer cream on the side, which I also highly recommend! Overall, the prices were not bad, the staff was respectful, and the food is pretty good (if you go early). It’s also a great picture spot if you’ve ever wanted that perfect teatime photo ;) Note that the entrance is in the courtyard, so if you went to the front door by the river Aura, you actually need to go around the building to the back where the cafe sign hangs above the doorway.

    1800’s vibe cafe at the heart of modern Turku. Situated near the Aura river, the place houses a museum. Coffee and pastries on offer in the cafe. Nice seating arrangements both indoor and outside at the yard. Very lovely service and friendly attitude. Highly recommended to visit while visiting Turku.

  • 5/5 Gotzon 4 years ago on Google • 9 reviews
    Best café in Turku, especially in the summer when you can on the inner courtyard. Cakes BAKED ON-SITE throughout the day, not surprisingly they taste divine! OK, the menu is not huge but very appropriate for the venue and of amazing quality.

    (Translated by Google) So cozy and atmospheric treasure right in the center❤️ a wonderful place in all respects, minus just the high price level, on the other hand the quality is happy to pay. (Original) Niin viihtyisä ja tunnelmallinen aarre aivan keskustassa❤️ ihana paikka kaikinpuolin, miinuksena vain korkea hintataso, toisaalta laadusta maksaa mielellään.

    (Translated by Google) An all-time charming place. Tasty food and pleasant service. I recommend e.g. Breakfast tray and Afternoon tea for two. (Original) Kertakaikkisen hurmaava paikka. Maukkaat tarjoilut ja miellyttävä palvelu. Suosittelen mm. Aamiaistarjotinta sekä Afternoon tea kahdelle.

  • 4/5 Marko V. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) After a hot day, it was nice to pop a coffee on the shady terrace as the gentle summer breeze cooled the skin. Happy was the cherry pie! The environment in the middle of the city is great. (Original) Helteisen päivän jälkeen oli mukava piipahtaa kahville varjoisalle terassille lempeän kesätuulen vilvoittaessa ihoa. Hyvää oli kirsikkapiirakka! Miljöö keskellä kaupunkia on hieno.

    Ihanaa vanhanajan tunnelmaa. Kakluuni oli lämmin ja mukavasti lämmitti selän takana. Kivasti laitettu joulutunnelmaa. Tarjoilut olivat hyviä. Suosittelen todella paljon, jos haluaa vähän vanhanajan tunnelmaa ja hienon vähän erilaisen kahvihetken. ❤️

  • 5/5 Ville K. 7 months ago on Google
    Hyvällä paikalla mutta hieman piilossa. Loistavat pienet suolaiset ja makeat leivonnaiset. Mukava palvelu!

  • 5/5 Satu H. 6 months ago on Google
    Idyllinen kahvila, jossa kauniit kattaukset pöytiin tuotuna. Mikä parasta kotitekoiset äärimmäisen herkulliset ja tuoreet leivonnaiset. Ehdottomasti yksi parhaista kahviloista missä olen koskaan käynyt.

  • 3/5 Niina K. 8 months ago on Google
    Vilkas päivä ja ulos ei harmillesti mahtunut istumaan. Tunnelmaltaan ihana paikka ja maukkaat leivonnaiset. Kaunis kattaus kahvipannuineen.

  • 1/5 Huda A. 5 months ago on Google
    Olen aina pitänyt paikasta ja suositellut sitä ystävilleni, mutta viime viikolla jäi suoraan sanottuna paha mieli. Olimme ystävieni kanssa ehtineet istua puolisen tuntia klo 15-15.30, ja odotimme vielä paria ystävää, kun yhtäkkiä työntekijä ilmoitti meille englanniksi (miksi? koska emme näytä kantasuomalaisilta?), että klo 16 alkaen pöytä on varattu. Tilanne vaikutti suoraan sanottuna siltä, että meidät ystävällisesti (tai ei niinkään!) häädettiin pois. Harmi, en usko että hetkeen tulen käymään.
