CAFE CARUSEL

À la Park’s coffee, tea, and treats will be served—quite literally—from the other side of the festival fence by none other than the beloved Helsinki café, Cafe Carusel! This family-run café, especially known for its delightful baked goods, has become famous for its cinnamon buns, which draw visitors even from outside the city. At the festival, in addition to their signature buns, you can expect a selection of ice cream, dip-ready donuts, sweet and savory waffles, and both hot and cold beverages. 

Located in Merisatamanranta for nearly 30 years, Cafe Carusel is a local favorite and a true family business—it's a lifestyle, hobby, and profession for those behind it. The café is known for its high-quality ingredients and close collaboration with local producers. In the summer, dishes are enhanced with herbs from their own terrace garden and items grilled or smoked on-site. 

Deeply involved in the local community, Cafe Carusel’s staff know many of their regulars (and their dogs!) by name—and hopefully, those warm encounters will be part of the À la Park experience as well!
