In the heart of Helsinki, a city renowned for its coffee culture, Roastery Coffee House has opened its first international outlet. This opening marks a monumental step in its journey from its Indian origins. This is not just another café; it’s a cultural exchange that brings together the rich traditions of Indian coffee with the sophisticated palate of Finnish coffee lovers.
Roastery Coffee House’s Journey From Hyderabad To Helsinki

Roastery Coffee House, founded in Hyderabad in 2017, has been a big contributor to shaping India’s speciality coffee scene. Its journey began in cities like Hyderabad, Lucknow, and Jaipur—places traditionally untouched by the global speciality coffee wave. By offering a contemporary yet approachable coffee experience, the coffee house started a revolution in Indian coffee culture. It captured hearts and fostered communities in 6 Indian cities, including Kolkata and New Delhi.
The decision to debut internationally in Helsinki is both strategic and poetic. Finland, the country with the highest per capita coffee consumption in the world, has high expectations for coffee quality. Now, with Roastery Coffee House, Indian coffee is prepared to take the world by storm thanks to its strong flavours and artisanal origins.
Brewing A Global Coffee Legacy
At the heart of this new chapter is a unique partnership. Nishant Sinha, the visionary behind Roastery, teamed up with Finnish Barista Champion Kaapo Paavolainen, now Roastery’s Global Coffee Director. Their collaboration brings together Indian artisanal coffee traditions and Finnish coffee expertise.
“Opening in Helsinki is not just a business milestone; it’s a celebration of what coffee represents—culture, connection, and craft,” says Sinha. With Kaapo leading the Helsinki operations, the café promises a coffee experience that honours both cultures.
The Helsinki outlet of Roastery Coffee House is a visual and sensory delight. Its “Modern Indian Minimalism” design concept combines Nordic aesthetics with Indian heritage. Imagine arches, chessboard floors, and bright areas where eco-friendly materials and FSC-certified Indian rosewood create a cosy and sustainable atmosphere.
But it’s not just about the ambiance. The menu also honours Indian coffee beans, with each brew expertly chosen to highlight its distinct flavours. Accompanying this is a selection of bites inspired by Indian and Finnish culinary traditions. Roastery’s commitment to quality and its ability to cater to diverse audiences make it an ideal addition to Helsinki’s vibrant coffee scene.
For coffee aficionados, Roastery Coffee House in Helsinki is more than a café; it’s a pilgrimage. It’s where Indian coffee heritage meets Nordic sophistication, where each cup tells a story of artistry, friendship, and cultural exchange.
Whether you’re a Helsinki local or a traveller seeking unique coffee experiences, Roastery invites you to make every coffee moment extraordinary.
