I’ll have to pop in again another day as the doughnut I had intended in getting had run out. Awesome small coffee shop chain that make awesome artisanal doughnuts. A good competitor and alternative to UK’s crosstown but with a nicer smaller rustic twist. The consistency of doughnuts was good and there was a great filling/dough balance overall. Coffees were great, cozy atmosphere and friendly service. Worth a try!

Amazing vegan food located in the train station!! Lovely coffee and vegan doughnuts too, another reason to come back to Finland and Helsinki

There are very few donut flavours I’ve tried since 2022 that I haven’t loved! This particular Round has the nicest staff always, very attentive and friendly. Once they had problems with the ceilings and didn’t have what I wanted to order so they gifted me with a donut and a filter coffee. Today I tried a Matcha Raspberry new flavor and chocolate peanut and caramel that I loved! Super recommend for a quick stop when moving around citycenter

I can’t believe it’s vegan. The products here are solid, though some were a little too sweet for my taste. However they had many different flavours available for all levels sweetness and their drinks were amazing. They’re at a convenient location and they did have a slight queue, but it was worth the wait.

Not the best Round location wise, but fine enough. Bagel of the week deal is always a great get. Food and drinks were normal for Round, so good.

We didn’t get donuts this time but the coffee and hot chocolate were nice Atmosphere is as good as you can get in a train station, and the service was good!

I’ve picked up donuts twice from Round Steissi through the Resq app (where you can get discounted donuts that were baked the previous day). Both times they have been DELICIOUS and amazing value (ranging from 6-9€ for a box of 6-8 donuts). The dough is super fluffy and the toppings are incredible (chocolate peanuts, caramel popcorn, vanilla frosting dipped in crumbled cake). Seriously, some of the best donuts I’ve ever had. Don’t hesitate to grab one before a train ride or just pick up a box to share with friends one night. The Resq deals are usually posted first thing in the morning!

I've only ever had their doughnuts, but I have had very many of them, and they are so good! I took a star off overall because they sell out pretty quickly of popular flavors, especially at the beginning of the month when they release new flavors. I took a star off for food because I want a cow-milk latte, but they are strictly vegan, so I usually take away. I will keep coming back again and again for the doughnuts though! Please could the Steissi location open earlier so I can get one on my way to work? Staff is always very kind and friendly.
