Sadly, the quality of the 'dark brew' ain't what it could be (read: extremely bitter espresso drinks) and that's a shame given how centrally located and charmingly laid out this place is. I'm a sucker for coffee sack-lined walls, funky old light fixtures and solid wood 'steh cafe' tables. To complete a place, however, one needs great product. That's where, at least java-wise, this place falls short of the mark. Props to the young gal who served us. She was so very nice. I'd like to pay for her to go to barista training school. Having said that, it could be a case of not having the best machines to work with, or, at the very least, not having them in the best working order.

I could have bought a gazillion more teas but I ended up with rooibos raspberry and an amazing rooibos winter chocolate, a cute cat teastrainer (because you can't have too many of those, right? Right) and some postcards. The service was friendly (male clerk) and the prices reasonable. When I tasted the teas at home I really wish I had bought more of them because the flavours are amazing (which isn't a sure thing even if the dry tea smells great), but they have a webshop so I do hope they ship to Sweden.

Their pastries are wonderful, as beautiful to the eye as they are tasty. The lunch meals are plentiful and the staff are very polite.

While the cakes looked creamy & fruity & really tempting, we were all about the chocolate..... Most of their chocolates had liquor and / or fruit but there are also blends w/ roses or candied flowers as well as single blocks of milk or dark The fitness chocolate had a delish mix of nuts & fruit & was loving the marketing it as fit! We chose their Angels Kiss - this was a wine-filled chocolate that was extraordinary Also grabbed a bar of their Milk Chocolate bar that had been infused w/ honey - boy oh boy was this delish! The chocolate was incredibly creamy & the honey was sweet & flowery & added such a nice flavor layer to the chocolate - wished I had purchased about 12 more of these! For such a quick stop in, we were thoroughly impressed & would seek out Gmeiner when next in the area! You should too!

The whipped cream was less sweet than what I had had before, and it was a thick, rich whipped cream, not the fake stuff.
