I searched out Tin Tin Tango 'cos I'm a Tin Tin fan. I was expecting more Tin Tin paraphernalia to live up to the name, but I was not disappointed with the service which was excellent. I had a snack and a beer and both were on the money. The staff were really friendly and they had a nice mix... More

Variety in Helsinki can sometimes be challenging and this place has a cool vibe with some life. Food is just average and choice is limited but the variety part comes from the atmosphere which is much less utilitarian than other coffee shops in the area. Good place for breakfast or even an afternoon coffee or beer. I come here about... More

I sometimes eat breakfast at Tin Tin Tango when I want something else than a chain coffee shop. The best about the place is the atmosphere - tango music and Töölö residents. The breakfast itself was basic - croissant, jam, orange juice and cappuccino. (Cappuccino is not included in the breakfast options - just regular coffee.) The croissant was freshly... More

Love that they play tango music and make sitting outside possible year-round. However, the breakfast is not special (anymore) and price-value has suffered. There are nowadays better breakfast/brunch options in Helsinki thus I would expect to have some upgrade/variation on the food selection. It is the ambiance that makes me come back and enjoy a special beer or a glass... More

We visited this place on Sunday afternoon, it was difficult to find a table. Tin Tin pictures are great, but otherwise it's quiet plain. Menu was also quite limited, we were quite disappointed. We were mainly looking for a nice dessert to enjoy on a lazy Sunday afternoon but only found an apple cake (tasty) and a few biscuits. Salads... More

Tin Tin Tango is definitely known for its breakfasts. Linger in for a late breakfast or an early lunch. Enjoy the slight French feeling in the middle of Helsinki. The Tintin theme is a great bonus!

We go to Cafe Tin Tin Tango for late Sunday breakfast. The coffees are well prepared and the breakfast croissants with boiled egg and yogurt are perfect for a leisurely Sunday morning. I've never tried the other pastries but they look wonderful. There's a back room if the front room is full and if you need to do laundry, they... More

A great restaurant. The only real Tintin, the famous coin on the wall. Will be renovated one of the next few weeks. How can we survive?

Only place that I know that you can have a breakfast or go to sauna while washing your laundry. Or just to have cup of coffee / glass of wine on saturdays while following the Töölöntori market day.

A nice place to hang out. Baguettes are good. The salads are a bit simple (home-makish) but the price is ok. Nice international atmosphere: many students with different backgrounds, academics and business people.
