If you love licorice of any kind, welcome to paradise. Fair warning though - this could get…read moreexpensive for you. Remember that one licorice from your childhood that you haven't been able to find in years? They'll likely have it. Some obscure super-strong kind you tried once in Iceland? Yeah,they probably have that too. This modern, bright store greets you with cheery, knowledgeable staff and shelves upon shelves of old and new licorice friends, helpfully split into sweet and salty sections of the store. As a salty licorice afficionado (which my phone just autocorrected as 'addict', still accurate), I found this place to be a wonderland with a great selection of licorice from all over the world. Name it, they have it; chocolate-covered licorice, salty licorice-flavored potato chips, several kinds of loose-leaf licorice tea, licorice powders, and even a package of the world's most expensive licorice in a glass case. That one is of the sweet variety though, so it was not terribly interesting to me. I thought it was especially helpful that gelatine-free options were clearly labeled,making veggie-friendly options easy to find. I wish I could live here. Since that isn't possible, I'll just come back to shop some more as soon as I can. As my credit card gently weeps.

Living abroad can be hard work some days and Charles' store is just what this expat ordered! I have…read morehad the pleasure of getting to know Charles from his store and he is an incredible entrepreneur and has become my friend through all of this. If you find this review favorable towards Charles - it should be. He encompasses all of the favorite fixings from home and has the incredible customer service attitude to go with it and when leaving his establishment you'll have a friend for life. Not to mention that entering the store you meet other warm and friendly people all curious to see what treasure they can find and other friendships have been known to happen. Thanks Charles for setting up a shop in Stockholm! It was long overdue! Ps. Keep the Quakers oatmeal stacked high as that's one of my favorites and I can't wait till you have bagels in!!

I should have known since it is in a tourist area but the quality of the food was poor. We ordered…read morethe burrata salad and it came with parsley instead of basil and crunch croutons (???) instead of fresh bread. Also the burrata was not of the best quality (2 out of 10 on a ten point scale) and the salad was overpowered by an excessive amount of low quality balsamic. On another note we were seated in the inner restaurant area and the ambient music was TOO LOUD. We had to raise our voices to hear and be heard which is of course unacceptable. Had we not been famished with few options we would have left the premises immediately. Service was good and we were greeted immediately upon entering from the rainy afternoon. Our server was attentive without being overbearing. When my chick arrived undercooked (pink) it was prompt remedied, and they offered us a beverage on the house. This and the good service are is why there is a 3 star review instead of a lower evaluation All in all I would not return for food, but *perhaps* for cocktails if prices were adjusted to a reasonable rate.

These caramels are unbelievable. I bought a mix of several loose flavors (passionfruit, mint, lemon…read more& vanilla, etc) a few weeks ago and brought them home to the US. They remain absolutely incredible. Each piece, regardless of the flavor, is probably the best I've ever had and ever will until the next Pärlans caramel enters my mouth. I will be so sad when we run out. I'm truly scared thinking about how much I would pay to ship a massive box of these to my front door. Go in this store and buy literally everything. If you're from Stockholm, I hope you appreciate how good you have it to be able to go here whenever you want. Damn.

Karla-Frukt or Karla "fruit" is more like a candy store than a fruit store. They have a small bit…read moreof fruit inside, but it's not exactly the main focus. The star of the show is definitely sugar, but they also carry gift items, coffee and tea as well! I've always walked past this store and wondered about the contents--always when it's way too late in the evening to come in and explore. It has a cute little retro sign and a vintage store front that I've always thought looked very charming. I guess a lot of the displays inside are original to this very old little store. The boulevard that it sits on is peaceful and is the perfect location to travel back in time a little too! I finally found a little time of my own to stop in and I had mixed feelings about the place. I really wanted to find a cute little old-time inspired gift store here, but what I found was a bit confusing. I think Karla-Frukt has all the ingredients for success, but somehow falls short on the delivery. I think this place could work if It became a more polished and packaged concept--taking inspiration from the fruit and gift store "Harry & David" in the US. They need to find a way to make this place attractive and functional for today without just being a historic landmark. The staff was wonderfully helpful and I was pleased with their assistance, but the environment was the main detractor for me. The display cases and tables were very undesigned without signage, branding or good organization. There was random gift items, chocolates, candies, fruit and teas of all different brands strewn about on the original old furniture that didn't match. I get that a lot of the displays are original, but maybe there is a way to clean it up a little nicer for 2015. I don't think that this place functions for today as well as it would have in the 1920's. It doesn't have enough of a "hook," design or unique product in the store to make it appealing over just heading to ICA down the street. You can order tea or coffee here, but there is no menu out to tell you that or what kinds they offer! They do make their coffee with Johan & Nyström beans though, which is a plus if you do figure out that they serve coffee here at all. The quality of some of the products are very nice. I liked that they had all kinds of good teas on display! I even took a hot tea and some cute cupcake shaped and polka-dotted french truffles home. Unfortunately, the lid on my cup of tea leaked terribly and by the time I made it two blocks away I had tea all down the front of my clothing. I also got home and wanted to share the chocolates I purchased with my significant other and found that they were all squished up (even though I had been very careful!) The woman had thrown them all carelessly in a paper bag...no box! So sad!!! They were so cute when I bought them! =( I think this place needs a designed eye to come in here and clean it up a bit. I could use some branding, signage and proper packaging for their products at the very least. I like the idea of fruit and candy together, I just think there is so much more you could do with a place like this!
