Pastries were bad--sat out all day and you could literally see the insects eating the food. The service was shockingly horrible. There are no prices listed so tourists can be charged more. They do not offer a receipt (which is illegal in Sweden) because they overcharge tourists. Three of us walked in asked how much an item was. My friend was charged that price and I was charged double it. When I said that did not seem to be the price we had been told (or my friend 30 seconds before paid). They tried to have my friend pay extra again (despite the reason that was paid was we were told the price). Staff was extremely rude and manipulative during the whole situation. Cafes and people in the area are so lovely, go to literally anywhere else.

The service was personal and friendly, we immediately opted for the offered "buffet" style breakfast that came with a little strawberry smoothie, coffee and tea, and a big assortment of warm breads and pastries, hard boiled eggs, a dozen different preserves and jams, and fresh fruit and cheeses. It was all so delicious. If I lived nearby I would eat this home cooked, delicious food often. Such a great experience.

After searching for a good Sunday morning breakfast, we found Ethel's, around 11am On a Sunday. You walk in, choose, order, and pay for your food at the register, then they give you a number and you wait for them to bring out the food. So here's the deal with the food, They have cafe options in the case or a "small" or "big" option for set meals where you get the three tiered display. We both got the big option, it comes with either eggs/bacon or yogurt. The display comes with little meats, cheeses, not super fresh fruit, yummy scones, bread, and some serve yourself waffles near the coffee. The ambiance is super cozy with mostly half couch booths, and options for both big and small parties, with or without babies. The service was pretty fast and very friendly !

I come here for breakfast once in awhile. Their deluxe…read morebreakfast is beautifully presented on a 3-level-plate. One could wish for a better selection of bread to make the perfect breakfast, though. Breakfast includes yoghurt or egg&bacon, fruit, hot drink of your choice, juice, bread and scones. Adding extra is possible. Deluxe breakfast is SEK 109 - a bit pricy. The interior is really really nice and cozy with pillows and velvet in pink and purple. Odd furnitures makes it intimate. I can understand why, but it is takes the edge of a warm welcoming, when the tables are marked with signs telling you cannot sit here if you are fewer than this and that sized party. This makes it a bit annoying when a party of two only can sit by the too small tables. Breakfast/Brunch is served until 12 on Mondays, 1 pm on Saturdays and 2 pm, on Sundays!

When you enter you get in line and grab a tray, then order your coffee and food at the register and they will place the food and drinks on your tray, or have you step to the side while they finish making your drinks. We came on a busy Sunday afternoon and waited about 20 minutes. The kanelbulle was huge but not dry and was quite good. I ordered an iced coffee and it was also good. The food selection was pretty typical sandwiches and pastries. The staff was not super friendly and a bit stressed snapping at people to move along or repeat their order. I don't think I'd come back here again even with tourists, there's nicer options just down the street or other parts of Gothenburg.

I am going to give a 5 star because it is consistently pleasant here and...when I forgot my cap in…read moreminus weather this winter, I came back and there is a rack at the door where kind patrons hang up stuff other people like me forget. There was an umbrella, a pair of gloves, a scarf and my cap I bought last year in Osaka during sakura season. This little cafe is in the Haga neighborhood, which is written about in every tourist brochure and online review, and a favorite of locals like myself to walk through the cobblestone streets and browse through the antique stores, specialty shops, and cafes. The name is also true to Gothenberg's famous sense of humor and play on words in the Gothenberg dialect. Like (P)arken. Don't worry, if you don't speak Swedish or Göteborgska you will still enjoy this place as a tourist or a local. The breakfast is what brings me in all seasons--when it is chilly to warm I sit outside to watch the people pass by. The street is officially closed to traffic, but there are still trucks and cars that pass through, although not as busy as the Avenyn district. For 70kr you get either the oatmeal or yogurt breakfast, I prefer the yogurt which gives you a hearty bowl of yogurt, homemade muesli, and your choice of raspberry jam or applesauce, a cheese sandwich, and a glass of apple or orange juice and cup of coffee or tea. Tea is refillable for free and coffee is just about 1 dollar. The cheese sandwich is on either a whole wheat or white bread that is always fluffy, moist and filled with nuts and poppyseed on the top. I often wrap it up to take with me when I leave for a little snack later as I go about my day. It holds its texture all day,not drying up to a crouton as many breads will. The decor is a little dark and with muted greens and greys and they have a shelf on the far end with local artists work that rotate and the wall on the left or entrance side is one long bulletin board that they are very open and happy to let whoever wants to post their flyers. Artists shows, yoga teachers classes and retreats, book releases, dog walking services, it is all there in a friendly chaos. They also offer the standard fare of salad, sandwiches and Swedish fika sweets so it is a nice place to take a break if you are a tourist or visitor to experience the Swedish fika. During the winter, it is very warm...so you feel at home and can really take off all your coats, scarves, sweaters, etc. and relax there. The women who work there are always friendly and the food, as I said, is always consistent and tasty. It is a place to take a book to read, meet and linger with a friend to catch up, work on your novel. Friendly staff, and consistently friendly is for some reason a rare thing for me to find in Gothenberg, so this bumps it up to a 5 in my yelp book. Ö+=

Small cafe bites are in the display case and they can make hot sandwiches and salads.

You could easily fit a group of 10 or keep your distance if you merely want to be away from the crowd, a luxury when visiting a café in the city.

There are two tables from what I saw if you would like to sit down, but it's more a bakery than a coffee shop.
