Waffle café Fifty-Fifty
Fifty-Fifty is a waffle café famous for its bubble waffles, run by three young students, Joonas, Milma and Emilia. They share a passion for creating something unique and different. The waffle café concept is entirely their own creation. A good and fun atmosphere is very important to them, and they hope that this will be passed on to their customers. While you wait for your order, you can hear the cheers of laughter coming from the kitchen. Joonas, Milma and Emilia don't take things too seriously and want to bring a relaxed and calm atmosphere to your summer days, without forgetting professionalism

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day
The proverb "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" dates back to ancient Greece. Even ancient Greek philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle stressed the importance of breakfast for the well-being of the day. They believed that eating breakfast helps nourish the body and provides the energy needed for the day's activities.

Drum relaxation and drum circles
Are you looking for a relaxing experience for your whole body and mind?
Drumming retreats with soundscapes for small groups are organised by the in-house Taikalaakso Shamandrumsfinland
In a drumming retreat, the gentle sound of the body drums relaxes you and you can fall into the touch of sound without any performance or demands.
The low-frequency sound resonates throughout the body, nurturing and providing an experiential experience at the same time. Drum retreats and drum circles can take place indoors or outdoors at TiiPi.
