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 might have picked up a pillow or something but I wasn't sure where I would put it in my home since I'm still in unpack mode. It's not a large space, but it's packed with stuff. 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.

Yes, you're probably going to wait for a table -- just expect it and enjoy the experience! Once you're seated and place your order, though, the food comes out amazingly fast. You can't go wrong with the authentic Swedish pancakes and lingonberries, and I think you get a great meal for the price. I also tried the Swedish Sangria made with Brut, Swedish Glogg & Fruit this time, and it was tasty! And then there are the famous goats on the grass-covered roof! Unfortunately, we arrived a little too late in the day and apparently the goats had already called it quits. We even walked around back looking for them! No goats, but we did get to see their little staircase leading up to the roof. Next time, we'll have to get there earlier! Whatever you do, don't leave without visiting the gift shop aka Butik! Give yourself some time because there is SO much to look at -- Door County souvenirs, clothing, ornaments, home decor, gifts and plenty of Al Johnson's goodies to take home. We loaded up on Swedish pancake mix, cinnamon sugar, Door County cherry jam and gifts for family and friends. I think I spent almost 45 minutes in there! After coming here for more years than I'm going to admit, Al Johnson's is still one of those quintessential Door County experiences. Come for the Swedish pancakes, look for the goats, browse the gift shop and enjoy a little piece of Door County tradition.

This is a We're-the-big-shots-in-town--aren't-you-so-lucky-you-get-to-dine-here?-Now-hurry-up experience. The service was rushed and the manner of the hostesses where you come in and where you pay is abysmal. No, really. I've never felt more like cattle in my life. The sour, amazingly unfriendly hostesses act annoyed you're even there the moment you walk in. No smile. No greeting. Only "What do you want? Stand there. Come this way." My wife apparently stepped too far past the host station and instead of, "I can take care of you there," the woman--without speaking a word and with a very annoyed expression on her face--walked in my wife's path and virtually pushed her in the direction she needed to be. After being rushed through our average meal, the person taking our money (all Al Johnson's wants) asked nothing about our meal, said no friendly word, made no eye contact, said no "enjoy your day" or "thanks for stopping in," only silently took the receipt and acted like it was an unwelcome interruption that I dared to even be standing there. I've been coming here since the mid-90s and wow has it changed. This place made their name with the Swedish pancakes and goats on the roof. They don't care anymore and they don't need to. You are a dollar sign and they will continue to be packed regardless. Do yourself a favor and go anywhere else. If you want a Door County classic, go to Julie's Cafe in Fish Creek. They're super friendly there and they aren't too big for their britches. Al Johnson's is a washed up, sub-par tourist attraction, one we will never be going back to nor recommending to anyone.

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.
