If the weather is nice (which I sure hope it is when you visit Sandhamn, because not only did you have to take a two-hour boat ride here from Stockholm, but you also have to spend the entire day outdoors), hit up Ankaret for coffee and snacks in the afternoon. Take advantage of the outdoor seating and observe fika with a beautiful view of the water. I was really amused by their inconsistency when it came to presentation: my Americano was in a take-out cup, while my cinnamon roll was presented to me on a fancy heavy plate. I also think they have some kinks to work out when it comes to the cinnamon rolls: one of them was noticeably smaller than the other but I'd be lying if they weren't the best cinnamon rolls I've ever eaten without any of the excessively sugary glaze that you find on American cinnamon rolls. It's worth knowing ahead of time that Ankaret is a seasonal cafe and is only open in the summer.

Absolutely delicious! Warning...the Swedish coffee tastes exactly like American, but very very…read moregood. The staff is friendly and helpful. We couldn't decide what to order, so we got three desserts! A trip to Voxholm is much improved by sitting at Boulangerie with a lovely pastry and staring at the water. It is so pleasant! Tip: you must try the Blueberry Princess Cake! It was light as a feather and absolutely scrumptious.

I thought the food was great. We tried the ham and cheese crepes and the baked potato, which came…read morewith a creamy shrimp salad on top! All surprisingly good, though very rich. We also got a merengue, a cardamom bun, and a princess cake. The princess cake was so good! I don't like marzipan but this was better than any I've ever had - very light, not too cloying or sweet, very soft - and beneath was soft fluffy cream and sponge cake. Staff spoke enough English that we could get by - certainly better than our Swedish! If you're visiting Waxholm, I recommend this as a lunch Stop or just for coffee and pastry.

It's a bakery and coffee shop with indoor and outdoor seating. I tried a kanelbulle (cinnamon bun) and vaniljbulle (vanilla bun). They were fresh understated, as seems to be the case in Sweden. Americans are used to pastries that are sweet, a strong presence of cinnamon, and so on. Swedish pastries are more subtle, use much less sugar, and more spices. If you know this going in, it's easier to be appreciative.

Amazing pastries and good coffee. Though no bathroom or wifi, it's still a great place for fika.read more

My go to is the cinnamon pasty but they also have some great daily specials. I hope they are around for another 123 years

Ya know, I don't get it. All of these Swedish reviews are 5-star write-ups that were given 3- and…read more4-stars. Huh? Well I'm going to set the record straight. First, definitely translate all the reviews and you'll see that every single one of these reviews is out of the park terrific. Second, if you find yourself in the archipelago definitely get to Finnhamn. Go early. Bring your walking shoes and saunter around the island. Take some time to sit and think good thoughts at the guest harbor. Be respectful of the farmers and such you meet who live and care for livestock on this island. Finally, before you depart, go eat and have a drink or two at Finnhamns Krog Finnhamns Brygga. The restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating is perched on a mound providing breathtaking vistas of other islands, passing sailboats, kayakers, birds, etc. The food is first rate. Quality preparation. Fresh vegetables and seafood. VERY nice selection of local beer and wine. My techie Swedish husband said to add: "And their internet was the fastest I've had in my entire life!" * * * * * stars all the way. Good job, folks! See you soon.
