There was too much rain to enjoy the late summer in the gardens designed for enjoying the…read moreconfectionary made on-site. A cold wind drove the chill of the rain straight into our bones, and we nearly piled straight back in the car to skip the stop in Trosa. We are so glad we pushed ourselves to stroll out to explore the Kutterkonfekt shop. Inside was an experience half-way between an old-style soda fountain, and a boutique coffee-shop. Artful displays of the intricate marzipans manufactured right upstairs lined almost every wall, and a table near the counter was elegantly arrayed with freshly baked confectionary. A handful of tables nestled by the large windows at the front of the shop, and most were full as we entered. We browsed the Marzipans for a moment, then wandered up to the counter to try our hands at ordering again in Swedish. The proprietress immediately picked up on my accent, however, and assisted us in English every bit as perfect as my own. We saw the selection of hot chocolates, and decided that was the best counter to the bitter morning rain. As we ordered, one table near the windows cleared, and we were able to nestle into one of the quaint tea-tables and watch as the sun finally broke out over the picturesque town of Trosa. The hot cocoa was indeed as perfect as we hoped, and the selection of Marzipans we bought for the road were every bit as pleasing to the mouth as they were to the eye. We happened in on a day of rest for the factory upstairs, but most days you can wander up the little, narrow staircase and watch the chefs and artists create the edible treasures arrayed in the shop below. The gleaming equipment was still on museum-like display, and was well worth a gander even while not in operation. All-in-all, this was a worthy stop on our way around Lake Malaren, and one we would highly recommend to anyone who gets the opportunity.

Nice indoor/ outdoor cafe with coffees, pastries, salads, sandwiches, beer and wine. Ordered a…read morelatte which was okay and the apple pie with vanilla sauce was great. Service was huffy, impatient and painfully slow which is why I can't rate it higher. Prices are slightly reasonable here which is shocking because there is a view. Not my favorite place for a mid day "fika" as the Swedish would say but the setting is wonderful.

Stumbled onto this waterside hidden gem. Absolutely stunning views on a summer afternoon. Great…read moreselection of wine and food. Small desserts are also top on the list of must try items. The staff is very friendly and happy to help with whatever it is you're looking for. Most of the staff speaks very good English to assist the wayward travelers. Genuinely could t have picked a better place to spend an afternoon.

We stopped by this cafe today on our visit to Vaxholm and while the signs and many reviews said…read morethis was a must visit, I would say it might be more for the ambiance than the food. It was very crowded and so hot today. The cakes and sweets are all sitting out on a table like a buffet in the heat and while the idea is nice, it is all situated close to the bathroom. If you have the time, it is a nice location but I would not say it is a must visit.

It is a wonderful place with lots of dessert to choose from at an old mansion surrounded by…read morebeautiful relaxing nature close to water. It is too bad that it's far away from Stockholm but it's worth the visit.    I have three complaints though. 1. A lot of dessers have nuts in them (I'm allergic), 2. There are not many desserts with berries such as blueberry or strawberry pies which you would expect in a such places, and 3. The quiches (they call them "pies" also) got much smaller but the price stayed the same since 7 years ago (or perhaps they raise the price. I don't remember exactly how much they were). You can see in my photos that they look like someone whipped up leftovers to make a meal. We were still hungry after that. Very sad.    My advice is that to eat lunch/dinner elsewhere before/after the visit at this café.

What can I say? A paradise for the people with a sweet tooth. It is very pricy though and they say…read moreit's a "cake buffet" which its not. It's just a lot of different cakes, cookies and other items - and you pay for each one of them. I'm not that impressed of the cakes and cookies. I like the view and the area more and that is why I've returned more than once, and the reason it gets more than two stars. I could skip the "fika" all together and save the money for something else. But I guess it's something you should experience at least once .. eating sweets until you bursts ..
