Looking for a café in Oulu where you can slow down for a moment? A place where great coffee, a peaceful atmosphere, and a river view turn an ordinary coffee break into something a little more special?
The Olosauна café on the banks of Hartaanselkä offers the chance to enjoy coffee by the water all year round. You’re welcome to stop by even without a sauna booking — pop in for a breather or stay as long as you like.
A café on the banks of Hartaanselkä
The Olosuana café is located in a floating building on Hartaanselkä, just a short distance from Oulu city center. Its waterside setting creates an atmosphere that sets it apart from a typical city café.
At the café, you can enjoy:
- Views over Hartaanselkä throughout the year
- A peaceful setting close to the city center
- A relaxed atmosphere, whether you’re alone or with company
- A coffee break by the water, away from the hustle and bustle
It’s the perfect spot to meet up with friends, get a little work done, or simply sit down with a good cup of coffee.
Artisan coffee and carefully selected treats
The café’s menu is built around quality drinks and small bites. You’ll find artisan coffee, tea, and a selection of snacks and baked goods.
The menu includes:
- Artisan coffee and premium teas
- Nutritious snacks
- Sweet and savory treats
- Local flavors in season
The offerings are just as well suited to a leisurely coffee break as they are to a visit paired with a sauna session.
Café and sauna under one roof
The Olosuana café is an integral part of the sauna community. Many guests stop in for a coffee before their sauna session or linger for a while after stepping out of the steam room.
Drinks purchased at the café can be taken with you to the sauna and the jetty. Options include:
- Sparkling water and other refreshing drinks
- Juices and soft drinks
- Beer
- Sparkling wine
Bringing your own drinks is not permitted.
Atmosphere for every season
The scenery at Hartaanselkä changes with the seasons, and each one brings its own distinct mood to the café.
In summer, the terrace opens up to the water’s edge and the evening sun lingers long into the night. In autumn, the river view is painted in the warm hues of fall foliage. In winter, the surroundings grow quiet beneath a blanket of snow, and in spring, light returns once more to the surface of the water.
Come for coffee whenever suits you
The Olosuana café is open to walk-ins — no reservation or sauna booking required. If you’re planning a sauna evening, a corporate event, or another occasion, you’re also welcome to explore the other services Olosuana has to offer.
Whether you’re stopping by for a cup of coffee, a catch-up, or a quiet moment to yourself, the café on the banks of Hartaanselkä is a place to pause and unwind.
