Gaggui, Turku, Finland

Nearly 10 months since last update - and plenty of new places to write of. Today I visited the first time in a café that was launched last year (I think), 2014. They specialize in cakes, hence the name "Gaggui", dialected form of Finnish word cakes, "kakkuja". The selection of cakes is nice and the place more spacious than I thought, roughly 26 seats - and there were six customers at 2pm. I chose a blueberry cheese cake, which was delicious, so props for the café, they know what they are doing. Plates, cups, furniture and overall design in the café is well chosen, creating an atmosphere of retro 60's. The double espresso I chose was also good, one of the best in town I have so far tasted. Slightly bit strong, and thin crema, if you want to beat Roman espressos, but that's another world of cafés, of which I try to write more in the future. For a Finnish café, it is very good. So overall score very good. I will definetely come back.
