After hearing so much talk about Paradiset I was going there with high expectations and that was…read moreperhaps part of the problem. When I was outside the store my first reaction was that it looks and feels like an old Coop store. That is perhaps not all bad but it did not excite me much. Right at the entrance of the store is a nice looking vegetable and fruit section but I was a bit surprised to see that not everything was ecological and when looking at the selection I right away noticed that both the selection and the prices were not at all as good as my local store (that is of course one of the best in Stockholm, Ica Liljeholmen). When I continued to browse around in the store it felt more and more as if this is about trying to show a nice surface - trying to get the hipster in the area to believe that all things in the store are ecological when in reality that is not the case. While the store is not bad the selection is surprisingly limited and I would have expected a lot more. I have seen the comparisons to Whole Foods and I can see that it has been an inspiration but this is a very pale copy of it. There is a food court upstairs that serve some burgers, pizzas, ice cream and salads. Pretty decent food, the burger was not bad just overpriced for what it is (95 SEK for just a burger and some crisps is a bit too much). I would have hoped that they would have gone for some better quality food and really some better ice cream (I struggle to see the greatness of Stikki as their ice cream is usually way too sweet and also lacks the proper ice cream texture). I do still however think that they are better than the average grocery store and hopefully they are looking to continue to improve things.

tl;dr - 1st & only Stockholm organic eco grocery store (I think). It's essentially a Whole Foods…read morerip-off but that's not a bad thing! I was expecting this place to be expensive as [expletive deleted] but it's not that bad. It's on the expensive end, yes, but ok enough to warrant coming here every now and then. The prices span from inner city Stockholm grocery store prices (which is expensive of course) to far on the expensive end for what I presume is hard to find eco stuff. Chicken breast file for example was super expensive and only available in one brand. It's one of my food pillars so City Gross will keep being my main supplier for that and numerous other things that were too expensive or hard to find at this eco store. The venue is nice and clean spanning 2 floors. Staff was friendly & pretty much everyone greeted me with a smile. The place had a mixed bunch of visitors as well - not just weird hippies and hipsters which I would've guessed. Need to work on my prejudices I think.. I also had a take away salad from the upstairs food court, which by the way is something I need to try soon as they have eco beers and burgers and whatnot. The salad, with a mixed base, beef and mixed seeds, nuts, berries topping was amazing! Lot of food, healthy and just the type of salad I dig 100%. It'll run you 115:- which definitely is on the steep end. If they'd lower the price to 100 I'd be prepared to give it a tie with For Friends for Sweden's best lunch salad. I see it's raining 5s over this place. It's not a 5 in my opinion, but a well welcome addition to Stockholm's sparse food fauna that I think people crave and thus rate it higher as it's unique. On a 10 scale, which would be perfect now, it's a solid 8, or 8.5 which is really, really good. I'm gonna give it a 4 here and it's definitely a strong one. For the 5 star rating it needs to be a bit cheaper so anyone, not just the more well off, can go here for day to day shopping and the selection could also be a bit better as noted above.

I've had kanel & kardemummabullar from Stockholm's well-frequented spots, like Fabrique, and lesser…read moreknown, like Saturnus, and Petrus takes the cake (or dare I say bread) everytime. If you are arriving from the south (i.e. arriving from Södra station), try to not get lured by Johan & Nyström's; go their for your caffeine fix at some later time, surely, but at the moment, direct all attention to Petrus. But try to not walk past it; because the café is what Swedes would refer to as "mysigt" (cozy), you could unknowingly walk past it and stride into Mariatorget. Upon entering, you will be tasked with placing an order from the all equally eye-catching buns. Reassuringly, know that you can do no wrong, but if it's your first time (and one of your first times having a fika), the Beginner's Guide to Fika (if there were one) would recommend a kanelbulle, or a cinnamon bun. It's sticky, it's doughy, it's sweet, and the cinnamon is all there, with a kick of cardamom. It's best complimented by a cup of tea, I think, because coffee might steal the spotlight from the flavor. For seasoned fika experts, a kardemummabulle will give you an even stronger kick of spice. The kanel and kardemumma "fikabrod" are like the buns, just made in a bigger quantity. The semlor (available from Jan-April) are also great, but know that they aren't the most conventional. They're a bit sweeter than normal, my hunch being that there's something in addition to the almond paste that's usually in the buns. Perhaps it's a little too sweet, but nothing that irritated me, or dare I say stopped me. Seating can be a bit tricky to find, but don't let that discourage you from coming here. Staff are always super friendly and kind. I wish I lived next door.

I wish I had more time to try Petrus, but for a quick fika on a busy day exploring Stockholm, it…read moremore than exceeded expectations. I can't tell if the multitude of American reviews are because 1) Petrus has managed to attract tourists; 2) these particular Americans have taste; 3) Swedish people don't really use Yelp; or 4) some combination thereof. Needless to say, Petrus was recommended by some other friends who had previously visited Stockholm as the go-to for buns. It is well worth the trip. As many have noted, the storefront is small and tucked away off of a fairly high traffic pedestrian thorough fare. Given how many people are obsessed with staring into their phones, surely following google maps to the address won't be tough, but I've learned to lower my expectations of people over time. ANYWAY, I was pleased to stop into a coffee shop that wasn't Espresso House or Fabrique, the latter of which I'm lucky enough to enjoy at home. I was able to grab a seat by the door which gave an interior view (through a window) to their bakery which occupies the other space on the first floor of their building. Despite the baking appearing done for the day at that time, it was neat to see the machinery behind the delectable treats we were having. Coffee was straightforward and lacking in pretension, as you served yourself from the drip coffee thermos in the restaurant. As many have suggested, I'm sure the kanelbulle would have been as tasty as the kardamummabulle and "breakfast bun" (a slightly sweet combo of various nuts and seeds) I had. Everything was quick, pleasant, and tasty, just as a coffee shop / fika place should be; in a quiet, residential area which was relaxing; and a perfect beginning to get the day jump started.

We were staying in the area and not knowing anything about this cafe we decided to make a visit…read more Stockholm was the last of our four-city visit in Europe and our state of jetlag was seriously creeping in on us so we were in dire need of a cup or two. The worker was friendly and helpful and spoke perfect English (which we started to realize about most people in Sweden making it quite easy on the American or British traveler). I had the kanelbullar, a Swedish cardamom roll which I've come to really enjoy with a cappuccino. The cappuccino was delightful and I was good to go after about 15 minutes. Later, we learned this was famous as being Stieg Larsson's (and Mikael Blomkvist's respectively) favorite coffee shop. But it was quiet and not at all crowded to our surprise and relief. Well, at least when we dropped by which gave us more of a reason to love this place. A must visit while in Stockholm.

Since my travel partner likes to sleep in late each morning, I decided to explore the nearby area…read morein Stockholm, known as "Sodermalm," for breakfast. After a quick search I decided upon Kaffebar yesterday and I'm back again today! Yes, it's that good here. In Sweden they apparently don't eat pancakes or any big breakfast though! Small portions are normal here, the options are yogurt, pastries and tiny meat sandwiches. On day one I settled for an herb-bun pastry that was some sort of sweet bread, accompanied by an espresso. First off the pastry was excellent, better than American pastries, however the espresso was so good compared to my normal Starbucks routine that I wasn't sure how to take it! Day two I switched it up and asked for hot coffee with cream and grabbed a cheese croissant from the self-serve pastry bar. The barista asked "milk?," which I replied "yes!" So they do milk here, not cream. Fantastic, both options by the way. After a few sips of coffee I'm high as a kite! The croissant was ah-maaaaaazing! You can sit outside and people watch or stay inside. Today I'm inside so I can write my family back home while my buddy sleeps for a couple more hours. The icing on the cake here, noted by other reviewers, is that Stieg Larsson, author of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, frequented this joint. Who knows, perhaps I'm sitting in his seat today?
