Café Ekberg
Café Ekberg is a café bakery located along Bulevardi in Kamppi, Helsinki, Finland. It was founded by Fredrik Ekberg (1825–1891) in 1852, which makes it the oldest café still in operation in Helsinki. At first it was located on Aleksanterinkatu, but it moved to its current location in 1915. Examples of classic baked goods that have remained in Ekberg's range since the 19th century include Krapfens and Runeberg tortes.
The interior of the café was renewed in 1951 and renovated in 2016. This latter renovation destroyed much of the cafe's original decor, receiving both condemnations from the locals and media attention. The current owner of the café is Otto Ekberg, who is a descendant of Fredrik Ekberg.
