I got tipped about this cafe from a Japanese friend that this cafe is owned by a Japanese. Having…read morethe famous Japanese bakery Andersen in mind, I went to try out this cafe in Torvehallen.
At a first glance, it seems there is some sort of Swedish connection. First, they have lussekatter - the saffran twisted buns that the Swedes eat during the advent weeks. Second, they have the famous Astrid Lindgren's character Pippi Longstocking everywhere, including on their serving mugs.
I didn't really find out about the Swedish connection later, but we did try the lussekatter that my Swedish boyfriend approved. As for me, I wouldn't know the difference between a bad lussekatter or a good lussekatter since I have only consumed this baked goods once or twice before. So, I guess the lussekatter is Swedish-approved, sort of.
The warm chocolate that I ordered was also delightful. It was probably a little small for 40kr, but I could tell that they made it from scratch, as how it should be instead of just pushing buttons on some machines.
I guess this place is a nice alternative to the more popular Granny House on the corner.
As we were ready to leave, we saw the Japanese baker made some more of the lussekatter to put in the oven. At least I know that these things are truly homemade, and that's the way it should be.
