Cinnamon roll and coffee

When it comes to Finnish sweets, cinnamon rolls are a must.
In Finnish, it's called "Korvapuusti," which apparently means "flattened ear" or "slapped ear."
That looks painful.

I wonder what an authentic cinnamon roll is like.
They bought it from a different store almost every day.

Basically, it's filled with cinnamon,
Sometimes it has a cardamom flavor, sometimes it doesn't.
It's topped with sugar granules.
Like an American cinnamon roll,
It doesn't have icing on it.
It's much larger than the ones in Japan.
But it's not too sweet, so it's dangerously easy to eat it all in one go.

You can find it at cafes, bakeries, and convenience stores alike.

Depending on the shop, some focus more on bread,
It leans more towards pastries.
Something in between...
I'm sure it's made at home too.
They probably have a cinnamon roll that they're very proud of.

The coffee we'll have with it is
It's lightly roasted, has a refreshing aroma, and is so easy to drink.
Europeans might find it unsatisfying.
It's also a little different from the "thin" feel of American food.
It's a light roast.
It's called "Nordic Roast."

I was also surprised to find that coffee is self-service in cafes and other places.
From a coffee pot like the ones you often find at buffets,
Pour it into your own cup.
Some restaurants offered unlimited refills.
