Pyynikki Lookout Tower Munkki Café
Pyynikin munkkikahvila
Tampere's most famous doughnut shop, at the foot of the Pyynikki ridge lookout tower, serving freshly fried handmade iced doughnuts with coffee.
This café sits on the ground floor of the lookout tower on the Pyynikki ridge and is known for handmade doughnuts (munkki) fried fresh all day from a family recipe. Visit Tampere recommends them as the best doughnuts in Tampere. Vegan and gluten-free versions are also available, and the coffee comes from local roaster Kahwe. Tower tickets are bought at the café: €3 for adults, with views over the lakes on both sides. Reservations are not accepted, and it gets crowded on summer weekends. Take a bus to Pyynikki and walk uphill. There is also a branch in the Market Hall.
