Coffee gives a start to a new day, brings people together, sets the rhythm and inspires, making life brighter. And also it symbolizes the philosophy of Paulig Kulma — a unique place where you can taste aromatic, fresh and hand-selected coffee from one of the most famous Finnish roasteries.
The two-storey Paulig Kulma cafe is located on the corner of two central and busiest streets in Helsinki, Kluuvikatu and Aleksanterinkatu.
Paulig — the Story Behind
Concern Paulig is one of the oldest family-owned companies in the food industry in Finland, founded in 1876 in Helsinki by German-born Gustav Wilhelm Paulig. The Paulig concern has reached a global scale and operates in thirteen Nordic countries, the Baltic States, Russia, Central Europe and the UK.
Paulig Kulma is part of the Paulig coffee division with its largest roaster in Vuosaari, where about 45 million kilograms of coffee are roasted annually.
Paulig Kulma — Starring Coffee
Paulig Kulma is a Cafe’-Roastery-Barista Institute at the same time, where coffee is the centerpiece.
Here, in a stylish design surrounding you can enjoy coffee made from different varieties and beans, learn the secrets of preparing this amazing drink, and try yourself in a role of barista.
There is the famous Bertha pure biogas roaster on the ground floor of the café, where the head roaster Tomi roasts beans for the Café.
The frequently changing coffee selection at Paulig Kulma depends on the most interesting and popular varieties at the moment. The entire range of Paulig Kulma Tomi develops together with the Paulig purchasing department and constantly follows the trends of the coffee world. This is reflected in both the choice and the way the coffee is roasted.
The best moments in the coffee industry are concentrated within the walls of Paulig Kulma — from the origin and roasting of coffee to obtaining professional skills and barista training.
