Café Ekberg
Café in Helsinki, Finland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ekberg is a café, pâtisserie and bakery shop located on Bulevardi in Kamppi, Helsinki, Finland. It was founded by Fredrik Edvard Ekberg (1825–1891) in 1852, which makes it the oldest café still in operation in Finland.[2][3]
At first it was located in Kruununhaka, after which it moved to Aleksanterinkatu.[4] Ekberg moved to its current location in 1915.[5][6] Examples of classic baked goods that have remained in Ekberg's range since the 19th century include the Napoleon cake, Krapfens and Runeberg tortes.[5]
The interior of the café was renewed in 1951[7] and renovated in 2016.[8] This latter renovation destroyed much of the cafe's original decor, receiving both condemnations from the locals and media attention.[7][8]
Ownership and management
The company Ekberg 1852 Oy Ab is a family-owned business managed by its fifth generation. Since 2019, it has been owned and managed by Mark Ekberg, Nina Ekberg-Tkaczick, and Martin Tkaczick.[4]
