Big Korvapuusti of KANNISTON LEIPOMO, and my favorite Korvapuusti during my stay in Helsinki is...

My trip to Finland can also be said comparing the tastes of Korvapuusti (Cinnamon Roll). Early in the morning, I could make it to KANNISTON LEIPOMO closest from Hotel St.George. It's Monday and open! How nice to be able to taste Korvapuusti I really hoped to try just before I leave Helsinki!


That was a pretty big one. It is rather a little hard than soft. I accompanied Americano with Korvapuusti like I did at St.George Bakery that blew me away. 


Hotel St.George is the time-honored hotel 10-minute walk from Helsinki Central Station. And it has a fantastic cafe https://www.stgeorgehelsinki.com/food/bakery on the street level of the hotel, which serves hearty freshly baked bread. And the coffee is excellent, too. 


Walking the side road of the Old Church Park, I reached at KANNISTON LEIPOMO I missed once.


There are a lot of sweet pastries...☆


But my heart was fixed.  I ordered Korvapuusti!


It was big!!! The texture is hard and it's not so sweet. I enjoyed my breakfast by the window. I read Finnish people often eat Korvapuusti for breakfast. The woman outside is checking what kind of bread this bakery shop has? How about my big bread? 

Korvapuuski (Cinnamon Roll) I liked most was St.George Bakery's. Looking back, it was a lovely attempt to taste and compare several Finish Cinnamon Rolls. Korvapuusti, added a touch of cardamon, sprayed pearl sugar on top, has another magical charm different from American Cinnamon Roll like 'Cinnabon'.
