"We had a morning meeting here. I really like the place and it's close to metro station. The meeting room was free of charge for the first two hours. After that it was 10€.
There was a really cool 'pyörä' (bike) neon light on the wall. However it made a weird electricity sound that was somewhat disturbing. There isn't a projector (is that what it is called?) at the room but everyone can probably see from a laptop, the table is not that big. I guess that at least 6 can fit nicely.
The place has good breakfast options with plenty to choose from if you are vegetarian or don't eat gluten. The most popular choice in our group was toast with peanut butter and bananas. They told that it had plenty of toppings.
Service was super friendly and I've been told that the place offers good lunch as well.
