Step into a piece of Finnish history at Jalava’s Shop in Taivalkoski – a true hidden gem among village stores. Few places can match its rich heritage and charming variety. Founded in 1883, Jalava’s is the oldest continuously operating shop in Finland. It has stayed in the same family ever since, now proudly run by the fifth generation.
Located in the heart of Koillismaa, Jalava’s Shop and Café welcome both locals and visitors all year round. Here, you’ll find an authentic old-world atmosphere filled with stories, traditions, and a warm sense of nostalgia.
Inside the shop, shelves are lined with sustainable products, handmade crafts, and delightfully quirky finds.
On the café side, you can enjoy traditional Finnish home-baked treats and rich, Fair Trade coffee – perfect for a cozy break.
We also offer catering services and the opportunity to host private events in our unique historical setting.
