Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Delicious food and really kind service. Very welcoming and such lovely menu options. The kids were delighted with their hot chocolates and we all loved our food - we had the fried chicken waffle and the salmon bowl. Our children loved their chicken bowls too.

Great address we eat very well! Nice discovery for us. We stayed with family (2 adults and 3 children). The children's dishes are hearty and very affordable (around €7.90) and for adults idem. Waffles are sublime.

This particular shop is located in the city center and is ideal for all hours of the day. From morning for a coffee or chocolate and breakfast, then for lunch or dinner or a relaxed drink in the evening. The place is beautiful and warm, and they also sell a variety of souvenirs for the city of Rovaniemi. The menu has specific options, while the prices are tight as of course everywhere in the country. Finally, the staff was very friendly and helpful, with excellent command of English. I highly recommend it!

I ordered a portion of waffles. It was average, neither good nor bad. The service experience was not particularly brilliant. First we queue at the counter, then the waiter brings the order to the table, quickly "drops" the portion on the table and leaves. Lunch and food portions are also available. There was no flexibility in the service at all, and it was not possible to take into account the customers' individual wishes regarding food portions when I inquired about them. A full cafe.

I’m really not sure what to say about these guys. We ordered 3 ice cream desserts and they took over 30 minutes to arrive. Our waitress also made us feel awkward asking to have all our main dish plates removed from our table so we could eat the desserts. Whoever owns this place needs to get the team together and give them a good talking to so that the service improves. If not, business will disappear. Good luck

Cafe&Bar 21 in Rovaniemi is the perfect place to relax with a drink with a local touch. The bar offers a selection of Lapland-inspired drinks that perfectly capture the character of the region. In addition, the hot chocolate served at Cafe Bar 21 is absolutely delicious - sweet and perfectly warming, especially on chilly evenings. If you're looking for a place with a pleasant atmosphere and exceptional drinks, it's definitely worth a look here.

The cafe/bar is really nice inside and constantly a stream of customers coming inside for lunch/coffees. The menu is small but a good selection on offer. We both had waffles with bang bang cauliflower which was huge - so make sure you’re hungry! Everything tasted great so we went for a waffle salted caramel dessert which was ok (a little flavourless). The only downside was the service. It was very slow, we had to clear our own table to sit down, they forgot about the dessert and we were left for a long time without service.

The salty waffles are very rich and large. The chicken one with a great salad around it and the salmon one also very delicious. The coffee is free, you serve yourself. It has a part with cakes. I was surprised that it was so delicious. The only downside was that the waitress was rude, but not everything has to be good.. (About €13 per waffle)

We had a few extra hours to spend in Rovaniemi city centre and decided to pop into Cafe & Bar 21 for a drink. The cafe has your standard coffee shop options and the quality of the coffee is also good - our only comment is that the drinks could be warmer or served quicker. We were also tempted by the numerous food options; from bao buns, extravagant salads and open sandwiches, Mexican tacos or more local flavours such as traditional Finnish salmon soup. We both opted for the salmon soup and were extremely pleased with the dish. It was a hearty portion, accompanied by traditional rye bread - both of which were flavourful and well balanced. The decor and ambiance of the restaurant added to our experience and we would definitely want to visit again.

Went for dinner with DH and it was delicious. We got two waffles and the bao buns. I got chicken, he got bang bang cauliflower and we got pork buns. The buns were huge and def not needed. We were both full after eating our waffles. Both waffles (with a side salad) were delicious. I have had similar Asian flavored dishes before but certainly never on a waffle so it was a bit unique. We each also had a glass of wine with our meal and although choices were limited both wines by the glass were quite good. You order at the counter so you might have to queue a bit to wait your turn. Desserts looked amazing but we were too full to be tempted. Very good meal.

Bad service. We waited in line at the checkout so we could have placed an order. When it was our turn, the cashier announced that he couldn't take our order until the group of ten people behind us had placed their order and directed us to the end of the long line. We voted with our feet and changed places to eat. It was not the first time that the place received bad treatment.

We had a very warm welcome from a member of staff who spoke excellent English. He was friendly and helpful, as we're the other staff but we had less interaction with them. The coffee is lovely, had a vegan milk option and was surprisingly cheap, with free top ups. My meal of bang bang cauliflower and tofu salad was the best salad I've ever eaten. My friend loved her halloumi salad too. And her perfect aperol spritz. Although the menu is small, it all looked delicious. Meat and veggie/vegan options available. Lovely atmosphere. Lovely staff. Lovely stuff.

Been on here two occasions while I stayed in the area. Salad was amazing flavors, little bit to much chilli's for me but unsure if they gave me the wrong crispy chicken salad or if it comes with spicy sauce and chilli's. It was tasty anyway and would highly recommend this place. Another visit was for cake, great selections

This is arguably the best lunch place in Rovaniemi. Their salad bowl with organic, fresh salmon is divine. A must try. I wish I could have their salad bowl every day! Their home-made waffles and ice cream are also delicious. Perfect dessert.

We spent four days in Rovaniemi and this was the best best place we ate. They have a crazy range of foods. The owners travel around the world and bring the recipes back. My husband has to try the Mexican food (we’re from California) just as a comparison and it did not disappoint. Our guide recommended the Chicken and Waffles and it was swish! Spicy with and Asian Fusion feel incorporating kimchee. So good! Excellent beer, too. Didn’t try dessert but they have an on site bakery and the dessert display looked fabulous. Such a great find. Be sure to make a reservation in high season
