Their selection is so vast, I could wander for hours and admire the wares. I had to pick up some Swedish Candy, of course, although the chocolates had to stay on the shelf due to the 100-degree heat outside. But Salty licorice and Bubs skulls came home with me. Delicious. I was most excited to find that they carry clothing. I bought a couple of dresses by Paapii, a Finnish brand. They make comfy dresses and tunics in all kinds of cute patterns. Everyone at the store was so friendly and willing to help out. The dressing room was occupied for a while, so they offered to let me try on my outfits in the ladies room instead. My haul ended up being quite pricey, but that is not Skal's fault. Their prices are rather reasonable in my opinion, I just...bought a lot of stuff. Be warned, you might too!

My friend is from Sweden, and she was over the moon about the authentic candy and really excited to see some of the clothing brands they had. I, on the other hand, got totally distracted by all the adorable gifts and knick-knacks. Every display was so thoughtfully arranged. Seriously, it felt like walking into a Pinterest board. The clerks were kind and helpful, and it had that warm, welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger. The prices were very reasonable, considering we were in such a touristy area. I picked out a Christmas ornament as a souvenir, and I know I'll smile every time I hang it on the tree. Such a sweet little stop. Everyone should check them out if they are in Door County, WI!

I actually went to purchase an ornament from a very small collection at a different store and the cashier quietly suggested that I needed to go to Tannenbaum's as they had the most amazing selection. She was not wrong. Not only can you deck out any type of Christmas tree you wish to have, they had a whole section that was very specific to door County and specific locations that they hand paint in the store. Of course, the one we selected had to be representative of sister Bay, Al Johnson's, and the goats as these are some of our most favorite memories from this trip. The gentleman working in the store was super friendly and helpful. Definitely put this one on your list so you can pick up a unique souvenir. They've also done incredible Work with the front entrance floral being so very welcoming. It says they are open 10 to 5 every day of the week. We were here on a Sunday.

I picked up a very nice glass ornament and was holding onto it. She aggressively suggested I put it in a basket. I took the suggestion and while I was walking around it was rolling in the basket. I didn't like that and didn't want the ornament to chip so I set the basket back and held the ornament again. Within a minute she was right where we were and rudely told me she was going to take the ornament from me since I wasn't using the basket. I explained that I felt it was safer in my hand than the basket and she insisted that it was better in the basket. Very unprofessional and rude. We stopped shopping immediately, paid for our ornament, and left. I did not appreciate being talked to or treated like a toddler.

There were even a couple games in there, ostensibly for folks having their family getaway but looking for something to do when the town closes down for the night. It's worth a stop in if you're in the area, especially if you're seeking a gift or souvenir for someone.

The classic dining area has not changed in 30 years, nor has the great service by the wait staff adorned in Swedish apparel. There are NO RESERVATIONS, so either go early or plan to wait a long time. We knew the drill, so we put our names in at 8:30am to get a table for 6 at 10:45! Plenty of time to shop in town as well as watch the live goats grazing on the grass roof of the restaurant! Once seated, we enjoyed the Swedish meatballs, Swedish pancakes (with traditional lingonberries or Door County cherries, and a delicious warm cinnamon coffee cake. All of the food was served quickly, was amazing and in just the right amounts. We love the classic look of the restaurant as well as the cool Swedish themed gift shop attached.

We ordered the Swedish Pancakes special, which includes three pancakes, two fried eggs, and choice of protein (ham, Canadian bacon, sausage, or bacon), and we chose bacon. The pancakes had a texture similar to crepes and are delicious on their own, but we added butter, lingonberries, and syrup to make them "eyes roll back in our heads" delicious! The eggs were perfectly cooked to over medium, as we requested, and the bacon was perfectly cooked with a crispy and chewy texture. The side of Swedish rye toast was probably the best rye toast that I've ever had! Maybe it was the butter. The side of Swedish meatballs was excellent, as expected, but the star of our breakfast had to be the Pytt I Panna. We asked more about the preparation after reading the description and felt it sounded interesting enough to order. This dish far exceeded our expectations! The American fries are diced & sauteed potatoes with skin on some pieces, with onions and diced "Swedish roast beef." Not sure what makes it Swedish, and it doesn't matter. What matters is how incredibly delicious this dish is. Again, I'm thinking butter was used to sautee, and I support that! We shared every dish and side, and I'll say this meal is in the discussion for the best breakfast/brunch I've ever had...and I've had some pretty great ones in my lifetime! Also, shout out to our server, Natalia, who was very sweet and helpful, providing great service! If you've never been, make it happen. We waited just under an hour after signing in at 8:30 on a Friday morning, which was fine because we grabbed coffee next door at Happy Coffee and relaxed in Al Johnson's courtyard, while admiring the goats. It was a great way to wait for our table!
