Neat cafe in Vääksy. Pretty pricey but to be expected in beautiful surrounding. Good food.

The place is beautiful with a large porch by a river. Food is really good and the portions are generous . Only downside is the slow service.

A good waffel, and the salad was very big. The view and sound of water gushing past and the ambiance in general was enjoyable. The terrace chairs were a bit uncomfortable, and only one high chair in the establishment. The staff was very polite.

We enjoyed a truly excellent espresso, which is not always easy to find in Finland, along with delightful local pastries. Thank you!"

Great place just on the bi river from the canal that is next to this place. It’s a small cafe that is really cozy and with the right old school atmosphere. They also sell local art and crafts.

A splendid wine and coffee bistro by the Vääksy river. Jokiranta has sizable salad, tapas and waffle portions as well as an excellent selection of sweet cakes and quality coffee. Affordable prices and a nice view to the park or river.
