I don't know the owners personally, so my decision to write this is based only on my neighborhood pride. First of all, it's not actually inside Gottsunda Centrum, it's in the new white and orange apartment buildings by the bus stops (11, 7, 12, 14). It is wheelchair accessible and the decor is fresh and charming. In other matters of accessibility, there were baby highchairs available and the WC included a cute changing table with a felt mobile. The babies that arrived while I was there were warmly welcomed by the staff. At first I was put off a bit by the restaurant-style seating of tables and chairs (plus one bench against the back wall) but after I ordered a falafel tallrik and saw others order the arabic coffee, I understood the set-up better. The food is the star of this place, second only to the lovely service. Babas serves the best falafel in town and I've eaten a lot of falafel! The Arabic coffee is served on silver sets that probably have a fancy name because they look fancy. My two friends who ordered it said it was excellent. I ordered a boring bryggkaffe and was pleased. Nothing extraordinary, but a decent cup of joe. The chocolate cake, on the other hand was on the boring side of okay. None of us tried any of the other desserts, but the variety on hand were Swedish standards (cinnamon buns, raspberry pie, kladdkaka etc.). If you're not up for the falafel, there are also typical Swedish cold sandwiches. I'm not sure if I this is right, but I think the two people working when we were there were a granddaughter/grandfather team. They were kind, gracious and genuine. Despite the small size of the café, they served everything we ordered to our table (including communal glass bottles of water). If you're an LGBT person or have LGBT friends, I hope you're still reading. This is a queer-friendly café. My first time at this café was for an RFSL boardmeeting (local LGBT association). It was a 3-hour meeting and we occupied the entire back row of tables. We are a visibly queer and gender non-conforming group of various backgrounds (South America, North America, Africa etc.) holding a meeting focused on topics of LGBT activism. We felt so at ease and welcome that we decided to hold our next boardmeeting there too! When I was talking to the "grandfather" about paying the bill, he asked if I wanted to pay for my husband's tea too, referring to my husband as my husband without any sign of hesitation. We were treated with all the normalcy as straight people. Now of course, this is not exceptional in Sweden, but sometimes queers feel a bit nervous about going to visibly Muslim owned and run spaces. I have no idea if that nervousness is warranted or not (probably not). Babas Café is a warm and welcoming place. I will be broken-hearted if this place doesn't survive its first year, so if you live in the neighborhood, I encourage you to support this absolutely lovely new family-owned, local business. If you live in the city, now is your chance to explore southern Uppsala-- Babas is worth the trip!

Café Victoria is located in Uppsala's Botanical Garden (Botaniska Trädgården). It's tucked away in the back, and you can see the edge of the garden. Seating consists of a patio of scrunched together tables with umbrellas and heaters, and tables scattered under the trees. The former are probably your only option on rainy or cold days, and the latter are wonderful on sunny days. We came for fika one day and lunch the next. Coffee is 15kr. It wasn't my favorite. Aside from coffee, they have a number of other espresso drinks. We tried the "Kall Latte," which is espresso, milk, ice cream, and whipped cream on top. More like a coffee-y milkshake, and a great treat. They also sell beer and cider. The pastries were tasty and fresh. I had the småbulle (which was quite large), and the linnebulle (which was huge!) We visited for lunch on the last day they were open, so the menu might have been shorter than usual. As is typical in Sweden, their lunch menu was short on vegetarian options. I think there was a cheese sandwich and cheese pie. I went pescetarian with the smoked salmon potato salad. It was a great mix of greens, sauces, potatoes and salads.

I absolutely love this place in summer and it is definitely worth a visit!

I arrived after the buffet was closed so I ordered from the menu. I started with the chicken satay…read moreand it was a bit different from what we get in the US but it was hot and tasty; peanut sauce was very mild. For entree I got the pad Thai. It came out a bit different from the description but it was also good. I substituted chicken for prawns, not sure why, and the chicken tasted very odd. Not sure if they raise them differently or feed them differently but the flavor was off. I ate the noodles and avoided the chicken just to be safe so I hope everything will be ok. Can't afford to get sick. Other than that it was a good restaurant and pleasant experience.

My boyfriend and I got the chicken satay to share for starters and the green curry with tofu for our main. The chicken of the satay was juicy and very flavorful and the peanut sauce was thick and tasty. The portion will feel crazy small if you are used to the portion sizes found in the US or other parts of Europe, but seems on pare with the rest of Sweden. The green curry with tofu was incredibly good; just the hint of spicy and the sauce was incredible. The portion of the curry was perfect and came with lots of rice. I ordered some spicy chili sauce on the side and had a wonderful smokey flavour and was also pretty spicy. The prices will feel very high if you are from some place else but I think they are about average for a nice sit down restaurant in Sweden. Either way, the meal was very very good and my boyfriend and I will be coming back before we leave Uppsala.
