Sisu Coffee and Tea

Not many Americans remember that we were once at war with Finland, and unlike the Vietnamese, Finns have not tended to migrate here and open restaurants that might remind us of this history. Lori Luchsinger and Karen Salmey, therefore, have been left pretty much on their own when it comes to satisfying the metro’s pent-up demand for pulla. They’ve been running out of it at their new coffeeshop near Ford Parkway on Snelling. But since pulla is really just cardamom bread, we recommend piirakat, a pastry crust wrapped around sweetened creamy rice and topped with egg butter. It’s possibly the most soothing food in the world.
