The service and food were very good and I enjoyed a peaceful time before getting on the train. Will happily visit again next time I'm in Vaasa.

Great collections of coffee beans from Pori Roastery. Also good, and well done espresso.

Best cappuccino in Vaasa. Good price sandwiches. Chilisandwich and chickenfeta salad is good way to treat you sometimes.

Fantastic! Brilliant! A lovely seating area, under the old station awning but still fully enclosed in the glass shell of the new station. The chorizo ciabatta with the Finnish soft cheese is delicious. The cold smoked salmon bagel is also very, very good. Their take on the traditional Finnish cinnamon and cardamom sweet bun is very large and equally scrumptious! The dark roast coffee is some of the best in Vaasa and the take away mugs come in small, normal and HUGE! I can't recommend this place enough.

I d say -- best capuccino in Vaasa is in Cafe Solo!

Tasty selection of local delicates with friendly and cosy atmosphere.

Great coffee served with a smile, a must visit when in the station and worth a trip just for the coffee.

The manager is very friendly and helpful. The coffee is good and there is a good variety of food and snacks.
