Small cozy place with deliciuos vegan deserts and tasty coffee

Tasty and abundant salad lunch + friendly service -> liked it. It's a small and cozy place, which focuses on snacks and desserts rather than lunch

A Vegans delight, this place is super clean, very environmentally conscious people and food tastes great. The portion is small for the price, but the taste is awesome. The service is super friendly and the ambiance of the place is very relaxed. Definitely a good place to relax and hangout.

The drink options from tea to coffee and more are rather unique, nice and well worth the price. The salads seem a tad expensive at first, but they do have proper "weight" to them, so to speak. I'd just wish for more in the sense of baked goods, what they do have is lovely and it might be personal preference to have more of those kinds of options in a café, but to me it's still an important part that I felt a slight bit lacking.

Came here for a quick lunch. Had salad and green tea. Salad was good but had waaaay too much dressing, I prefer more natural salad with a slight drizzle of it. The atmosphere was nice, but kitchen has no separation, so you can hear all the noises and humming of machines, which was very distracting while ordering. I would definitely come here again to try something else, but this time I know to order salad with dressing on the side.

For coffee, tee, salads & raw cakes etc, Kembuz is one of the best places in Turku. Some think that it's expensive but you get what you pay for :)

Good coffee. Baristas are friendly and speak English. Very cozy and prices are pretty good for black coffee. Granola with fruit is exceptional;. It ruined eating granola at home. My favorite coffee shop in Turku.
