Our last stop in Sigtuna (and Sweden!) last week before heading to the airport was Tant Bruns…read moreKaffestuga. I'm so glad we stopped by. From the sign at the corner of Strandvägen and Laurentii gränd pointing us in the direction of the cafe, I knew I'd love it. At the front entrance is a charming doll (Tant Bruns?), and then it opens up into the most charming outdoor cafe (there is some indoor seating that is also adorable). A very sweet staff member came out almost immediately with menus, and we wanted everything. They have pastries and sandwiches and coffee and ice cream (there were a few girls sharing a banana split not too far from us). We got a couple of cappuccinos, a Sigtuna donut (turns out that a Sigtuna donut is pretty similar to a US glazed donut, only way better - that lamination in the dough made it fluffy and light), and a lox open-faced sandwich. Full of charm, do not miss a stop at Tant Bruns if you're in Sigtuna!

Quite a few goodies in this small space with a few seats. Mostly it's a to-go place since it's…read moreliterally on the way to/from the T-Centralen station. Bread, cookies, small various refrigerated sweets, sandwiches, wraps, and more. Coffee, tea, soda. They do cakes, too. I was there in the early evening and they were wiped out of many products.

I remember coming here on my trip to Sweden. I remember…read moregetting a cheese danish here. It was later at night and mom and I wanted pastries with our coffee in the morning. I believe this was also the place we got a few sugar-free pastries as well! We went to so many little bakeries in Sweden! I do remember this location because the shopkeeper was extremely sweet! If this is the location, we got the sugar-free then she was more than sweet and also helped us with the language barrier!

Came by after a run on a weekday late morning, got an almond croissant and a kenelbullar. I was…read moredebating between the kardemummabullar and the kenelbullar so I asked the cashier who said she likes the kenelbullar. Another person who was putting fresh ones into the casing said she likes the cardamom ones, so I went with the kenelbullar since they were just getting placed into the casing. Almond croissant was so-so, the edges were a bit hard and dry although the middle was good. The kanelbullar was really soft and tasty, very fresh. Pricey at around 80 SEK, but I guess that's Stockholm and Sweden for ya!

I love baking and live in a great bread/baking region (SF Bay Area) so I needed to check out the…read morebest bakeries while traveling in Sweden. We stopped in at Valhallabageriet to try their famous bullar - one cardamom and one cinnamon. Both were good, but I think the cardamom bun was the standout (I may be biased - I prefer cardamom buns in general). Definitely worth popping into this small bakery while in Stockholm!
