The most summer pastry I guess would be the Finnish version of the mince pie.

It's a deep-fried blob of doughnut dough with a minced beef and rice filling.

Ooh! People get them from street kiosks with all sorts of condiments but they're great as is too. Hand-made ones from bakeries are much better than store ones too.

The old street vendors are dying out and getting replaced by all sorts of trendy things like food trucks and taco bicycles and kebab joints and whatnot.
