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.

Situated at the vivid Aleksanterinkatu and being very close to the university makes it an excellent meeting place for students. The place is quite small... you can call it cosy I guess but if you prefer larger spaces you might find it too small.

The new location on the same block at Unioninkatu has an interior of plain wood and concrete that seeps up noise. Even full at lunch time the large cafeteria is a nice place to sit down reading or working on laptop. Students and foreign visitors...to the university are main clients, entrance is free to everybody. Upstairs are venues for open academic talks for which the main ground floor hall can be used too. A bookshop on the corner sells literature in Finnish and English, also official souvenirs of the Helsinki University.More

If you're in the neighbourhood, you should most certainly come and visit Tiedekulma! It has a lot to offer: whether it's great lunch you want, or cool architecture, Tiedekulma has it all. Tiedekulma is the place for students and academics to hang out in, which...gives it a great, lively atmosphere. A welcoming place for everyone. Architecture For architecture lovers, you should come in and enjoy modern wood architecture at its coolest. Even if you're not into architecture, you will enjoy the cosy comfort of the place. Food and coffee The lunch salad has of a great price-quality -ratio. There is also lunch soup (you can eat as much as you want). Nice sweet treats, too and the coffee is of good quality. Events and happenings Tiedekulma (= science corner) often has events, concerts and such that are very interesting.More

A cozy and unassuming atmosphere, good coffee (typical drip coffee, cappuccino). Great place to stop after a walk or in between classes for university students on central campus.

We had cappuccino and mocha, both really good. Decent price. Good music! Free wifi. Food looked really-really good but we didn't try because we were full.

A cosy coffee shop in downtown and I believe it belongs to the university- they serve coffee beer and snacks.. the highlight of this place is their banana cake.

I stopped by during hot day. Their English name contains the word "Science" but this is because in Finnish "tiede" refers to both science and humanities. It is a cafe + store associated with Helsinki University. You can buy HU t-shirts and other stuff. Barista...makes good lattes and they have a nice beer selection. It's a good place to sit down when walking around the downtown.More
