On Sunday morning in Helsinki, James Hammond visited St. George's Cafe, noting a queue at 9:15 AM for coffee and pastries, indicating its popularity among locals. Later, for breakfast, he went to Lazy Fox, which also had queues. Lazy Fox is highly rated online for brunch and serves classic breakfast dishes with big portions, with Hammond opting for an English breakfast.
“But I was up a little bit earlier and was out to St. George's Cafe, which is about 3 minutes walk from my hotel for a coffee and pastry.”
“This place opens at 9 AM on a Sunday, and I arrived at 9:15 AM, and there was a queue to get coffee. So it must be popular. So it must be good.”
“For breakfast, we're pretty hungry at this point. Even had a croissant was quite weighty as well. We went to the Lazy Fox, which also had queues outside to get in.”
“And when you go on to Google and you research brunch or breakfast in Helsinki city center, this comes top at a lot of options and blogs.”
