My first Fika in Sweden was at this lovely cafe. I later figured out they were everywhere. For…read moreonce, I didn't mind going to a chain. The space was brightly lit, fairly spacious, with comfortable seating, and an inviting atmosphere.
I had this almond pastry covered with powdered sugar, along with a Hazelnut Latte. In total, this was around $11. The pastry was absolutely delectable! It was satisfyingly chewy, soft, with actual almond, as well as delightful almond flavor throughout. The Hazelnut Latte was prepared with care, and had a lovely design on top. However, it tasted more like a regular latte. There wasn't enough hazelnut in it.
Stopped by another time during my trip, because they were the only bakery-like place still open (most close so early!) I saw they had the Hazelnut Roll, which they were out of last time, so of course I had to get it. The roll was huge, fluffy, flaky, with plenty of hazelnut and hazelnut spread. Mmm!
I would be open to trying more from this spot, but would want to check out more non-chain cafes for Fika in the future.
