Drink
Cafe Normal
Absolutely the cheapest cafe in Tampere. Specialty coffees (Latte, Cappuccino etc.) start from 1.9€. More of a take-out themed spot connected to a location of the dollar store chain Normal. Only a couple of seats and no latte art for your travel photos, but the perfect spot to satisfy your urgent need of caffeine, costing next to nothing.
