They have good coffee and a variety of milk, cream, sugar and things to put in it. They even have decaf coffee which is always so hard for me to find. Very comfortable and cozy tables. There are a variety of cakes and things, which are a bit sweet but come in sizable portions. I have seen people eating yummy looking salads and sandwiches but haven't tried them myself.

Fast food restaurants and not so tidy places do not tempt me! Happy to find this restaurant just above the liquor store in Stromstad. Nice, tidy, cozy, and a varied chinese menue with nice prices! You can even have a sweedish sandwich, coffee, or add a salad to your meal from the saladbar! The chicken with vegetables and cashewnuts was really nice!
