This is still my go-to cafe in Fridhemsplan but my opinion of it has changed a bit. Sandwiches are…read moregenerally good, the Hallancheesecake is basically the staple of my visit though it is certainly not gourmet, and the WiFi works well. The interior is warm and cozy in the winter, and despite the busy and fairly loud seating along Sankt Eriksgatan, it's a good spot to sit outside, considering. The Chai Tea Latte is massive but varies widely on taste (remember it fondly in the Winter, not so much in the Summer), and what's up with the 5kr refills for coffee? Jury is in on the Muffins: not worth it though they look like they will be. Overall, I still have a lot of love for this place and recommend it for the area. It's a good spot to work, a good spot for a conversation and it's open late.

The place is rather tacky with its fake brick walls, torch holder and gold framed mirror. I'm told…read moreit's Stockholms oldest café but I can't say they treat the locale with much dignity. Great address, friendly staff behind the counter. Prices are as in all other cafés in the city - around 80 SEK for a salad, around 40 SEK for any slice of pie or cake. But what do you get? The salad is a bit dry (they offer extra vinegrette in a bottle at the counter) and the chocolate cake is too (but vinegrette probably won't help that). Cream for your hot chocolate or chocolate cake comes from a can. Not very luxurious but the public has gotten used to it so I guess we have to settle for it. The hours are very generous (for being Stockholm) - they're even open till 10 pm on Sundays. However, well before 9:40 pm they picked everything off our table, shut down the music, turned up the lights and started just standing around to indicate that they really wanted us out of there. Minutes later they started moving tables and cleaning the floor. I'm of the opinion that if a place claims to be open until 10 pm, guest should be able to be there and feel welcome until 10 pm. If they want to clean out the place and go home by 10, they should say they're open for guests until 9:30. Now we left rather bummed out. If nothing else is open (which unfortunately is likely), I'd come back here.

They have a lot of outdoor seating and are located on a really pretty street, which makes for a pleasant sit down experience.

I've tried at other places from Mr. Cake to Bröd & Salt and even ICA, but this place is THE spot for them. Kardemummabullar are my new fave! About this place. It is near Torsplan. You can walk, bike or take bus 3. You can also take the subway and get off at Sankt Eriksplan. Bus 3 is the most direct and quickest way. There are two buildings on each side of the street. Both are Haga, but go to the one on the left, where you have to go down steps. You can see the bakers and decorators in action. It is a very cozy spot to grab fika. There's lots of space plus the ambience is delighful and lovely. A tip: you can check on Karma app to see if they have day-old pastries for half the price. They are still very good and you help prevent waste. I highly recommend getting anything fresh though.

Per the website recently undergoing a change in ownership, the Café and Tea Room previously praised by some for offering one of Sweden's best White Lady Cakes and seasonal Semla featuring only half-stocked shelves at 09h30 on a Monday, it was with just one other man sipping Coffee on the patio that questions were abruptly answered and four items gathered for Cash-only, the clerk's surprisingly limited English fluency perhaps playing part in the situation. Sitting down with one plate and a bag outdoors, Bananza's Budapest Cake replacing Berries offered elsewhere with Orange Slices that were matched to Milk Chocolate and Vanilla Cream, it was from here that two of three items ordered repeatedly at other Bakeries fell flat, the Tosca dry and gritty beneath Nuts and a Chocolate Ball flavored more like Oats than Cocoa or Coconut while the Katalan thankfully propped up everything else by way of its buttery center surrounded by a double-layer of Jam.

The White Lady Cake is my go-to birthday cake, and we even ordered it for our wedding cake. High quality and great prices keep us coming back. I wish they had vegetarian/vegan options for their lunch specials, but I don't really go there for lunch. I go for the treats! What they do well, they do VERY well. Unfortunately the only indoor seating is on the 2nd floor, so keep that in mid if you are taking grandma or a sleeping baby out to fika. Their semlor are top-notch -- don't miss out!
