Amazing! For a start this wonderful café is situated in a lovely old corner building two minutes work from the city square. Brilliant use of the space for tables and chairs, and the art (which is for sale!) on the walls is very good too. But the food. Oh my, the food! Cakes. To. Die. For! The bagels (especially the Parma ham and mozzarella cheese one) and delectable. The coffee is so fresh and so perfectly brewed it's heavenly! If you are in Vaasa and do not visit this amazing cafe you really are missing out. A true "must visit" if there ever was. If they don't have a vegetarian/vegan option in the chiller, just ask! Even when it's busy the staff will be only too happy to cater to your wishes.

A good cafe for a friendly get-together or a quick coffee. The freshly baked cakes served here are delicious. The staff is very friendly. You can pay by card. Instant coffee (3 euros) is available. The chairs are comfortable. Wheelchair or pushchair accessible. There are also a few chairs outside the cafe where you can sit in the summer. Most of the nearby parking lots (covered or on the street) are paid, but in front of the cafe you can park for free for half an hour in the summer. You can also get here by most bus lines.

All was perfect!I love this place for the wide assortment really good cakes. Huge thanks for the cake «Kiev” and “Pavlova” One inconvenience is the lack of a ramp for entry for people with a stroller, baby carriage.

Pharmacy House is a gem! It has such a cozy and inviting atmosphere that feels like home. The coffee is fantastic — not only delicious but also presented beautifully, with attention to every detail. It’s clear that the owners genuinely care about each customer, making everyone feel special and welcomed. It’s far superior to chain places like Espresso House, where everything feels rushed and impersonal, with a factory-like vibe. At Pharmacy House, you can truly relax and enjoy your time, knowing that you’re in a place filled with love and sincerity. Highly recommend stopping by for a coffee break that’s truly a treat!
