Café Ekberg is a café bakery located along Bulevardi in Kamppi, Helsinki, Finland. It was founded by Fredrik Ekberg [fi] (1825–1891) in 1852, which makes it the oldest café still in operation in Helsinki.[2] At first it was located on Aleksanterinkatu, but it moved to its current location in 1915.[3][4] Examples of classic baked goods that have remained in Ekberg's range since the 19th century include Krapfens and Runeberg tortes.[3]
The interior of the café was renewed in 1951[5] and renovated in 2016.[6] This latter renovation destroyed much of the cafe's original decor, receiving both condemnations from the locals and media attention.[5][6] The current owner of the café is Otto Ekberg, who is a descendant of Fredrik Ekberg.[3]
