Muonio Swiss Cafe

Sometimes there are unexpected things in unexpected places. I got my moment of surprise when I drove to the tiny town on Muonio in the Western Lapland in Finland just near the Swedish border (by the road E8). All suddenly I found a Swiss Cafeteria in this tiny town. The place was founded by Swiss Agnes Bissig who moved to Muonio in 2008. She used to be a florist but they founded the cafeteria with another Swiss baker Thomas Achermann who moved to Muonio in 2009. The cafeteria makes clear that it’s a Swiss place, not even trying to be Finnish. They sell Swiss chocolate (delicious but expensive) and even Swiss Chocolate. There are also some handmade things such as pastries and chocolate from the cafeteria’s own kitchen. I have to say the place is very cozy but it’s situated in a place that can’t be accidentally found. You have to leave the E8 road and even drive a tiny distance away from the supermarkets in the center to arrive there. But the place is worth visiting. The pastries are delicious and not even extremely expensive. The Swiss Hot chocolate is fairly expensive but worth having. You can find the cafeteria using its address Puthaanrannantie 5, Muonio. #coffeeshop #café #muonio #finland #lapland #roadtrip#summervacation#urbanexplorer #cafe
