    Very cute small cafe with organic coffee and sandwiches made with artisanal bread. (Seats about 15…read morepeople). Decor is a mix of wood and metal. Colorful artwork covers the walls and stained glass pieces are in the windows. Blankets and throw pillows are on the benches lining the walls, and there are lots of plants of many different varieties all over the place in pots. I would describe the vibe in here South American meets "hipster without trying to be hipster". The baristas are very nice, and helpful with suggestions. We ordered a cappuccino and a 50/50 (espresso/milk, I don't remember the name) and it cost us 70 sek, so it wasn't too expensive. The coffees were very pretty, finally worth an Insta post lol. There IS wifi, see photos for password :D I would definitely recommend this place if you're a coffee nut, or if you want a quaint location for a coffee date.

    I was visiting Sweden and I was on the lookout for some of the best coffee around Göteburg, so I…read morestumbled upon this place after a few google searches. Walking in, the atmosphere was pretty casual with people talking it up with one another and enjoying coffee. The baristas at the counter were super welcoming and helpful when it came to choosing which drink I wanted to get. I decided to get a latte with an espresso made from Ethiopia beans and my friend got a pourover (V60) made from the Costa Rica beans. The latte was amazing and it was super smooth with the Ethiopia espresso. I tried some of the Costa Rica pourover and it was great, it had a nice and light taste to it and I loved it so much I decided to buy a bag of the Costa Rica beans. I also loved how they serve their pourovers in an Erlenmeyer flask, it made me so happy! As I was enjoying my drink, I began to talk with one of the baristas about coffee and it was great to meet such people that were so enthusiastic about coffee living their dreams and making this amazing coffee. I know I'll be back here again whenever I'm back in Sweden. Until then, I'll be missing this place on the daily.

    An excellent idea that absolutely did not execute…read more I'm pretty sure I understand the angle that they were getting at, but they just didn't quite get it. The interior needs to be redone, it's just plain dirty and old. Grimey is the word that comes to mind. You order up front, get a beeper and come back when your food is ready. They stash the water and silverware near the front but it's not managed and is dirty. The food selection is reminiscent of the us diner feel, but it's still not quite right, yes they have pancakes but where are then blueberry pancakes? Or the eggs Benedict? Or the BEC sandwich.... the bagels were the absolute best part. They were great. The omelette I got was close to inedible, it was just riddled with oil and salt. The people who worked there looked absolutely miserable and I felt almost bad being there. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone, especially an excited American who thought they'd get a little taste of home. But I appreciate the representation?

    I am giving a low three star review and judging from the other reviews, both high and low ratings,…read moreit all boils down to 2 things. If you are an American or not and what your expectations of an American breakfast place is. It is consistent in that it is as mediocre as when I first went years ago, but they earned another star for their consistency, which I think partially accounts for the lines. To Expats I know the homesickey feeling and the desperation and hope when we want a taste of home. I moved to Sweden in 2002, back when you couldnt buy turkey, cranberries and Libbys canned pumpkin at Ica Maxi. I had to go to the English shop to their American shelf way in the back corner to buy my peanut butter and Spam. Thank God those days are over, even if it's too bad the English shop closed. Their offering of pancakes with maple syrup, over fried and cold eggs and greasy bacon and the bagel offering is a comfort to expats who are desperate and can't cook. Thanks in large part to this place I learned to make pancakes, muffins, scones, poached eggs and omelettes and overcome my fear of frying food to make crispy bacon. I lived in Sweden till 2014 but I still gladly spend my vacations there. We hardly go out on weekends for breakfast anymore. Never got the bagel thing, but I just suffer till I get back home to the US. For American tourists, don't waste your time or money, nothing to see here folks, if you live in the US, there are MANY better choices at home. Instead try a Swedish style breakfast, buffet or cafe. For Swedes who think they are trying something exotic, I think one word says it all IHOP. This place is not American style breakfast place and not very good. Also, if that is the concept, maybe some American style cheerful or sassy service. Research YouTube videos of Alice and you may get the idea. The decor is more Happy Days, diner but not as cheerful. But I think the appeal can be that it isnt the typical boring (to you) Swedish breakfast. It also is a great location, near Linnèplatsen, Haga, etc and on the sunny side of the street. When I do walk up that way for a breakfast, I continue to the French boulangerie across the street. It's not really French, I know that, but it is tasty and the decor and ambience is much better.
