El Fant:

A New

Connection

In the heart of Helsinki’s historic Torikorttelit district
lies El Fant, a cozy cafe with a story as rich and diverse
as the community it serves. Founded by Sylvie and
Joe, a dynamic duo blending backgrounds in graphic
design, music, and French pastry, El Fant is more than
just a cafe – it’s a testament to their shared passion for
fostering meaningful connections through coffee and
creativity.Here we need a gap between the fullstop and
the next word. fore embarking on their coffee venture,
Sylvie, a graphic designer, and Joe, a bassist, who has
always been drawn to the relationship between coffee,
wine, and music, led lives immersed in the vibrant cul-
tural scene of Shanghai. Drawn by their shared love for
art, music, and the allure of new experiences, they set
their sights on Helsinki, seeking to explore the city’s
rich coffee culture and international ambiance. 21
