We have been meaning to come to Tre Kronor for years and finally decided to have brunch here on a beautiful summer day on my husbands birthday and were very pleased with our meal. There's a good amount of seating inside but the real beauty is with the outdoor garden seating under a giant tree. We ordered a cardamom pastry to split followed by the hash & eggs in addition to the specialty omelette of the day. Food was exceptional and for $52 for two people this was a great price point. Service was good and staff were all helpful and friendly. We will be returning soon! read more

08/26/25 -Tre Kronor Swedish restaurant @ 3258 W Foster Ave. I've driven by Tre Kroner for decades. I finally got a chance to eat here w/my buddy. They have a nice size dining room. They also have very nice exterior dining area. We both ordered the Anders hash & eggs made w/their own homemade corn beef hash & 2 eggs over easy. This was very good but we both felt the portion size was on the smallish size. I also ordered an organic African nectar tea that was very tasty. The service was very good as was the food. I'm glad I was finally able to dine @ Tre Kroner. Good food, good service & I probably will eat here again & try som of their other dishes. One thing is Yelp needs to update their prices on the Yelp menu as the dish I ordered showed the price @ $7.95 verse $16.95 (actual price. read more

A coworker told me about this place since I was going to be near North Park University. I didn't have time to sit down and eat so I ordered one each of their available pastries. I really enjoyed the cinnamon roll. The icing had a lemon flavor and there were raisins on the inside. The cardamom knot was pretty and tasty. The strawberry pastry was a little too sweet. The maple pecan bar taste like breakfast. It reminded me of pancakes with maple syrup. People were friendly and the prices seemed reasonable. I hope to get back for a sit down meal. read more

Love this place so much! The Swedish pancakes were amazing with the hint of orange. Everything is always so delicious and the service is amazing. Would recommend basically everything here. One important note is the second floor has a very narrow and steep staircase, so may not be accessible for some. read more

The place is really cozy and I was excited to try the food. I had the broccoli cheese quiche and the crust was underbaked. Flavor was good, but the pastry was disappointing read more

Its been awhile since I have been to Tre Kronor, but this is a hidden gem not far from my house! This is a true Swedish icon in the neighborhood that is full of hygge and fun. I happened to go on a pretty grey and cool Sunday morning so the theme really played out! I actually wasn't very hungry so I just wanted some pastries. I remember this place having good pastries and I was right! All of them were excellent. My mom got two and I got two. While they seemed pretty steep for $5+, they were fresh and filling. The only problem was that the cinnamon roll, something my mom ordered, had raisins in it. My mom is allergic to raisins, but we caught it before she ate it. We forgot to ask so its partially on us, but it was a disappointment to her because it looked so good. There were also so few raisins in there which makes me wonder why even bother. Either way, it was excellent. My favorite was actually the cardamom bread which had a great hint of sweetness, but wasn't overly sugary. My dad got the hash which he really liked with ketchup. Nice and crunchy as well which is a little different. If I was to say there were any drawbacks, I think the prices are a little higher for what you get size wise, but all the food was pretty spectacular. Also, this place doesn't do reservations so there might be a long line for a table. They don't really hurry anybody out which is great if you want to take in the hygge vibe, but is scary if you are the one waiting for a table. They do run a store across the street which is pretty cool and a good time waster while waiting. Will I be back? Of course! The onion soup sounds interesting so I might come especially for that! read more

Great food, abysmal service. We waited nearly an hour for our meal. Yes, it was a Saturday morning and it was busy but our server never explained the reason for the delay; she just ignored us. read more

Tre Kronor is my personal hidden gem of the Chicagoland area! The dining room is bright and fills with the most perfect light in the morning. It truly feels like you're in a quaint B&B when you dine here. The service is top notch. We have always been seated quickly and served promptly. Your coffee mug will never run empty! I personally love the Anders Hash. It is the perfect amount of food and cooked to crispy perfection. I have also tried many of their quiches and have enjoyed them all! If you are looking for somewhere to treat yourself or a loved one to a beautiful, slow paced morning, Tre Kronor is the best place to start. read more

A few years have gone by since I've been to Tre Kroner. Still quant and nice. I ordered the corned beef hash and eggs and a cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll had a lemon glaze and raisins inside of it. It wasn't exactly what I was expecting but taking into account it is a Swedish restaurant I enjoyed it. I have to remember I am eating American/Swedish food. The corned beef hash and eggs were delicious. I enjoyed smearing my toast with the Apple Jam at the table. They serve more Swedish style sausages here and other types of food. Since I don't eat pork, I couldn't partake, but I always find something when I come in. The restaurant is quaint and still very homely. The service wasn't too bad either. I always enjoy my trips to Tre Kroner. read more

We went recently to eat during their lunch hour. I got myself the Belgian waffle. The waffle was okay, wish it came while it was nice and crisp. The fruit were good and went well with the waffle. I wish they gave me my own syrup but instead I had to reach over to get a family member's syrup that came with their meal. The service was great she was very attentive with us and made sure we got what we needed or wanted. The ambiance is great! They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Lunch and breakfast menu is a bit limited items wise. read more

Found a new favorite breakfast place! Chicago is known to have a history with Swedish American population . Right next to North Park University is Tre Kronor, which very beautifully prepared Scandinavian dishes. Really digged the Anders Hash I had. Very tasty! Great service and a very cozy space that was great for a winter day! #swedish #scandanavian read more

Highlight: Best hollandaise sauce I have had in a long time! Cozy warm little restaurant. We went for brunch and were seated right away in the busy main dining room. We ordered swedish pancakes to share as a group. I felt they were good and I liked the ligonberry jam as it added a unique tart flavor. They were thin and authentic of European pancakes. I ordered the eggs Benedict with spinach and found it very tasty! The hollandaise really made this meal above and beyond the rest was good. Service was good! They come around a lot to give coffee and water. read more

You know what's great about brunch at Tre Kronor? It's not brunch. It's a breakfast menu and a lunch menu, and you are not bound by some chef's notion of what to do with all the trash left over from the week. The menus seem just a little limited until they tell you the specials. Then we all ordered from the specials. And if you don't have smoked salmon at a Swedish restaurant, I don't know what's wrong with you. The salmon Benedict was amazing. I'm told the Florentine Benedict was also great, as was the GIANT wedge of quiche. I hadn't been here in a few years. Glad to see they still have really great food and excellent, strong black coffee. The service is delightful. The patio is just dripping with charm. And while prices are up everywhere, they are keeping things pretty reasonable. I think we would have paid about as much in a diner. A lot more at a trendy brunch spot. We won't wait so long to go back next time . read more

Very reasonably priced and perfectly portioned brunch plates (not too much, not too little). We tried two danishes, hash and eggs, orange French toast, house sausage, swedish meatballs and ice coffee. Everything was well prepared, flavorful and bright! The food was not heavy and was a total delightful way to start the day. The coffee was a bit more burnt than I like, but that's a personal preference. Service was super friendly and attentive! Decor is very cute and reminds me of a small town in Europe. I can see why this place is a neighborhood gem and why people would travel all the way from the suburbs to dine here. read more

One of my absolute favorite breakfast places in Chicago. The outdoor patio, food, and service is unbeatable. Great Swedish food, never thought I'd enjoy a lox quiche but it was AMAZING. I will be going here until I die. I love you Tre Kronor. Also, checkout the outdoor space in the photos! Adorable. read more

What a lovely brunch spot! Their backyard / garden is very expansive. There's a lot of shade there so it was fairly comfortable sitting out there on an incredibly hot day. I ordered a dirty chai with oat milk. I was happy that they had alternative milks. The dirty chai lacked some flavor but I enjoyed it enough. We started with the pickled herring. If you like pickled herring, this is a great dish! I liked the grain mustard one the best. We also got the cinnamon roll. It was on me that I didn't ask if there were raisins in it but I think I would have liked it more had I gotten it without raisins. I absolutely loved the Reubenssen sandwich. It came with Jarlsberg cheese, which is naturally lactose free - a huge plus for me! The sauerkraut in it was really nice. I loved the potatoes with it. I'd love to come back! read more

What can I say about Tre that hasn't been said already? Hands down, my favorite breakfast in the city. Quick, lovely, great vibes. I love it here so much. read more

Food is good, but no real gluten free options. It is like a little house and depending where you sit it can feel a little loud and crowded. Service is spotty. Sometimes great, other times not so much. If they had more gf options I would go back, but too many other places that make it easier for someone with dietary restrictions to eat. read more

this place is adorable. amazing food, amazing service. very cozy. can't wait to come back!

Best dang French Toast I have ever had. Was torn between trying that and their pancakes, but was encouraged to try the French Toast by our waiter. Really enjoyed the orange zest in the toast's batter and in the butter used-- added the right amount of delightful flavor. The potatoes my partner had with his eggs were great. Smallish portions, but the coziness of the restaurant was worth it-- family friendly and would come again next time I'm staying in the neighborhood. read more

Allll awesome and delicious , home cooked food and deserts , and excellent and friendly speeches , as always !! The BEST place in town!!

Came for one particular dish, ended up getting three, haha. It's a charming, quiet cafe; it wasn't very busy when I visited Saturday night, but the customers were frequent. My server was very nice and knowledgeable about the menu; her recommendation for the crab cakes was the best dish I ate out of everything I ordered. I did like the swedish meatballs, but it didn't beat out the crab cakes, and the French onion soup was too salty and heavy for me to eat in its entirety. They ran out of the dish I came for, Toast Skagen, so for that alone, I'll visit again. read more

So quaint. I love their breakfast. If the weather is nice, sit outside under the gazebo section. It is such a delight.

My family and I decided to stop into Tre Kronor last year around this same time when we visited Chicago after a recommendation from a friend. We decided to come back again this year as we had such an amazing experience last year. The food is amazing and it is clear that it's all made fresh by the (seemingly all women!) kitchen staff. The menu isn't anything super special and I believe they've had a similar, if not the same, menu since opening. Everything my family and I ordered really was so amazing though. What set this place over the top for us was the service. We actually ended up having the same server this year as we did last year, AND she remembered us! Mac is genuinely one of the friendliest young women I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and she is very VERY knowledgeable about the restaurant, the menu, and had amazing ideas for us to do while we were in town. I have 2 younger kids and she made a point of making sure they were having a good time by giving them coloring materials and chatting with them about music and the Disney movies they're currently fixated on. My husband and i were truly amazed by how good of an experience we had (both times!) Tre Kronor has officially become a one of our favorite places and we definitely plan to come back any time we visiting his family in Chicago. I would HIGHLY highly recommend stopping by if you're ever in the area. Thank you Tre Kronor and thank you Mac. read more

Tre Konor has more or less reached institution status on Chicago's northwest side, and it's easy to see why. A cozy, kitschy, corner brunch joint with a strong Swedish/Norwegian influence, it's a very inviting spot. The food is really good, above average brunch and diner fare at very reasonable prices. The belgian waffle was flavorful and super fluffy, topped with an impressive heaping of berries, bananas, and whipped cream. The omelettes were also delicious, the eggs cooked perfectly and an impressive portion of greens and meat inside. The potatoes were also extremely tasty, just a light crisp on the skin and a light, flavorful inside. Delicious. But what makes this a three star review isn't the food. The food is great, a really well executed, large portion of fresh, flavorful food. The reason it's three stars is that it takes so long to get the food. The servers are lovely, super friendly. But, they're not always the most attentive. And they are clearly seating far too many people to accommodate a very small kitchen. We sat down at 10:52. We did not receive our food (a waffle, two omelettes) until 11:59. That would be an unreasonable wait time at a busy steakhouse, let alone a brunch place. Sure, you know that you're not getting your eggs in ten minutes on a busy Sunday...but an hour?! On top of it, during that wait, servers are nowhere to be found, at least out on the patio. No one is touching the table, checking if you need something while you wait, apologizing or at least acknowledging the wait time. If my wife and I weren't catching up with a good friend, I'm not sure we would have stayed the entire hour. The food is excellent, but this may be better served as a take out spot, rather than dedicating 90 minutes to what should be a half hour meal. read more

We had a great time at Tre Kronor having brunch as a family. We had the Belgian Waffle, Oslo Omelette, and the Quiche. Portions are good. We also tried their sausage and the cinnamon roll (uhm sorry no pics! We devoured it fast. It was so good). The OJ was freshly squeezed, coffee flowing well and food was very good. The service was great and the people was so friendly and helpful. Ambiance is perfect a Swedish bistro with a touch of local flair. We love coming to Tre Kronor every time for breakfast, brunch or lunch. read more

I haven't been here in years but took a couple of friends yesterday. I love all things Scandinavian and this place is so cozy and cute. It was torrentially down pouring all day, so no sitting outdoors in their whimsical little garden. Try a pastry to start (Scandinavians love their sugar and black coffee). Be prepared to wait a little bit. This place is popular and cozy! Highly recommend their quiche for breakfast, Swedish pancakes, and meatballs, of course! Also, shout out to Roland, who was a wonderful server! read more

Appeared to be a place for college students to work for the summer. Staff is kind but the food took over an hour to come out. It was not that busy of a day and definitely not ideal for a family with two squirmy hungry lil ones. Food came out faster for a party that came after us. The food was decent but we could have eaten anything at that point. Also, before ordering, I saw a huge platter of strawberry tarts and asked our server about them. She told me that there were no such thing and said they only had danishes. The danish turned out to be not at all what I expected, but it was what it was. This restaurant is quaint so that was nice, like you are eating in an old fashioned home. We were seated in a corner very close to other parties in a small separated section of the restaurant. Again, not ideal for families with small children. Overall, main reason for this lower rating was for the long wait for our food. read more

Great food and staff! One of the very few Scandinavian restaurants located in Chicago.

We came on a Sunday afternoon and waited for about 20 min and sat on the patio. The patio is beautiful! Highly recommend. We got the mushroom spinach quiche, tuna salad, open faced Norwegian meatball sandwich, and shared some pastries: cardamom knot, cinnamon roll (not pictured), and salted caramel danish. I tried some of the quiche and it was wonderful. The meatballs were great too. My favorite of the pastries was the cardamom knot, but the cinnamon roll was a close second. read more

I've been here more than once and I love this place. Their menus are handwritten which is hard to find these days! Their food is also fabulous. I've had their quiche and Swedish pancakes. Both are delicious but the quiche...is so filling. I've never had a better quiche in my life. Their pastries - if you're in doubt, order that sh*t! It arrived hella hot, straight out of the oven hot, but holy cow was it marvelous. If they opened up a bakery, I'd happily sell my soul for all the pastries. read more
