After my first day at work, I decided to take a walk over to downtown Karlskrona and be a tourist…read more My original thought was to visit Hemkop, which is a grocery store. I like supermarkets to begin with and I learn a ton about a city when I am in one. This supermarket was a nine-minute walk from my hotel. It looked clean and inviting when I first walked in. The produce was fresh and displayed in an enclosed case. I loved looking at the desserts and candy. The supermarket has donuts, which were not enclosed. I would be careful getting them, as flies can easily access them. The salami snacks caught my attention. I bought a pack of mini garlic salami sticks. They were delicious! I was also pleased that they had lactose-free, sugar-free milkshakes. I tried the strawberry one and it was delightful. I didn't get any beer, but enjoyed looking at the selection. I had no problems cashing out. Even though I don't understand Swedish, I provided the proper amount of money in Swedish Krona. It helps that the register clearly displays how much you owe. There is a recycling area. I love how organized this supermarket is. I felt at home there. (320)

If you're looking for a place in Kalmar to have some cakes or coffee going to this cafe is…read moreabsolutely compulsory. Not only is the decoration so attractive but the cakes are also magnificent. A great variety of them. Carrot cake, chocolate cakes, muffins, blueberry pies... Try the vanilla sauce on top of them! You can sit by the street in the terrace or find a sofa inside in one of the multiple rooms of this 18th century house. You have to order upstairs and even though you may want to sit outside going up there and watching the house and its decoration might make you reconsider that idea. Delicious food and very nice looking place!

If you do not dislike such a setting you will love to hang out there, choosing the right chairs or sofas due your current mood, do some reading, watch some people, have a nice fika with friends.
