Does anyone know this kahvila in Helsinki?

I think it's in Kallio, and the owner is a middle-aged woman who's most of the time sitting and knitting there if not serving customers. There's loads of her knitted products and other handicraft on display there. I think the cakes she sells are all homemade. The cafe has a bit of a hippy-touch, and I was going to recommend it to a friend (if it still exists) but I can't remember the name at all, as it's been about 4 years ago that I've been there.

Anyone here knows which place I'm talking about?

Could it be this one? I haven't actually visited it myself though I've often walked past it.

Taikalamppu
Torkkelinkatu 21, Kallio, Helsinki
Avoinna:
ma - pe 10 - 19
la - su 12 - 19
p. (09) 773 4242

Kahvila; ravintola, pikaruokaa
Kahvila Taikalamppu Torkkelinmäen kupeessa ei ole sisustukseltaan perinteinen kahvila: narulla roikkuu myssyjä ja villapaitoja, tuolit ja pöydät ovat eriparia ja seinillä monenlaista taidetta.
Taikalampussa on aina tarjolla jotain suolaista, jotain makeaa piirakkaa sekä pullaa. Toisinaan siellä voi nauttia elävästä musiikista, vaikkapa kuunnella emännän housebändiä ja lauluja maailman eri kolkista.
