    We went here at the recommendation of "36 Hours in Stockholm." I ended up ordering one egg and caviar sandwich and one kardamummabullar. If either of these is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

    05/28/18 Bageri Petrus

    Liked by some respected palates as Stockholm's best bakery it was for Breakfast on Monday that a visit was made to Bageri Petrus, the baker visibly rolling Dough at a front window and Croissants proofing behind him a good sign even before opening the door to a jolly "Hej Hej" from two young ladies at the counter. Located near the center of Södermalm and likened to the great bakeries of France despite Petrus' relatively young age, limited indoor and outside seating making it more a true Cafe than some of Sweden's Artisan Bageris, guests entering will soon have their vision saturated by items on racks and behind glass, several Swedish classics unavailable and instead replaced by loaves of Bread that rotate daily plus Brioche, housemade Jams and Croissants. Open weekdays at 07h00 and Saturday an hour later with Sundays offering a day of rest it was after waiting in a queue of locals en route to work that five items plus a cup of Coffee were selected, the decision to start with Petrus' Cardamom Bun a good one as it allowed a few bites of Butter and Spice to wash over the palate before setting the rest aside and "saving the best for last." Moving next to a Butter Croissant, undoubtedly the best amongst a limited sampling in Stockholm thanks to a crisp Shell around insides light and wispy, it was admittedly surprising that the Pain au Chocolat offered equally light layers despite a dense core still warm and slightly molten. No doubt benefitting by early arrival, the Morning Bun also warm but a little one dimensional thanks to so much Sugar, it was with expected tanginess that Brioche topped in Rhubarb Custard made lips pucker before the mouth adjusted, a return to the Kardemumma Bulle momentarily making one ponder sticking around to sip Coffee while enjoying another.

    Swoon swoon swoon! Definitely add a fika break at Petrus to your Sweden to do list. This beautiful bakery is full of European charm and some of the tastiest pastries I've ever had. Order a couple coffees and a kanelbullar to cozy up with during the colder months or enjoy outside when it's warm outside. We were here during an unseasonably warm week and were able to hang out at the tables on the sidewalk out front. They only offer light roast coffee which I don't usually love, but it was actually perfect. Everything about this place was completely dreamy and special. Though I'm actually not sure which neighborhood Petrus is in, this is a good spot to check out if you're staying in either Gamla Stan or Hornstull and wanting to do some exploring between the two. It's less than a two mile walk from Gamla Stan to Horstull or vice versa--you could also take the train one way if you wanted to cut down on the walk time. There's a really beautiful park about a block away that would be perfect for picnics--the neighborhood itself is also super walkable and has some cool vintage shops. Their are a lot of "chain" feeling bakeries in Stockholm, especially in Gamla Stan, but this is not one of them. I'll be dreaming of you, Petrus!

    I've had kanel & kardemummabullar from Stockholm's well-frequented spots, like Fabrique, and lesser known, 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.

    Everything is fresh and delicious!

    We came here at the recommendation of our server at another restaurant. What a phenomenal place! There was so much bread to stare at and drool over. We came during what I would call breakfast/ brunch time. We ordered sandwiches and refreshments, they were like lemonade mixtures made fresh. I was disappointed in the size of the drinks we got because they were so tiny! I chugged mine and it was gone, it did taste darn good though. We were very thirsty because it was a long hot walk to get us there. We then consumed the entire water pitcher at least twice, thank goodness it was left out for guests because it would have been a pain to ask each time. My sandwich was amazing!! I had what was basically a coarser with different fun colored tomatoes but it was nacho average capers sandwich. I'm still thinking about the taste weeks later. We also had some sweets and I'm pretty sure my husband left with a baguette to walk around with. A nice place to stop for Fika or lunch.

    I usually don't get impressed by Swedish confectioneries, in my opinion their selection is usually quite dull, and frankly not so tasty. It is the classic Swedish cinnamon bun and perhaps a few other goods. You had one and you've had them all! So Petrus is a nice contrast! They have the cinnamon bun - a delicious version, but also several other well made Swedish confectioneries, sandwiches and breads, combined with French ones! A great selection that creates diversity. And everything is really well made! What I also like is that they know what they are good at, and seem proud enough to not try to take focus from it! You come here to enjoy confectioneries or sandwiches. If you want a cup of coffee or tea with it, you can enjoy a classic Swedish coffee (from a thermos!) or tea from teabag. No fancy drinks here! Which is brilliant as there are several spots nearby that try to claim the barista throne! Petrus is also a really cosy spot, with a traditional Scandinavian feel to the place. So if you happen to find an empty seat, grab it and enjoy the deliciousness accompanied with nice selection of jazz music. Only reason I don't give Petrus five stars is that I wish they had a wider selection.

    Great spot for a Fika break with a really cozy atmosphere and good eats! The kanelbulle here was fantastic and my favorite one that I tried while in Stockholm, and it was reasonably priced too. We got teas (though wish there was more hot water served with it) and also tried the cardamom buns, which were great but I liked less lan the cinnamon bun version. Could've had a second or a third easily and they were flakier and more pastry-dough like than others I've tried, can't go wrong!

    I am very serious when it comes to cinnamon buns! Everytime im in Stockholm i will investigate ! All for the love of research of course. Buns here are very tastt & moist - makes sense as everything us fresh. Rest of pastries and bread look & smell great too However, they only have black coffee, mhm...

    We got a Princess Cake to go. Service was great. Shop was clean and cozy from what we could see…read more Most importantly the cake was yummy - marzipan outer layer, soft sponge cake layers and a whipped cream filling, all with the green color we expected. Advertised as 6 servings and that seemed right to us. 10/10!

This little spot reminded me a bit of the 24/7 diners back home in New Jersey. Kind of just a clean, no-frills place to grab a decent bite and a coffee. They have glass cases full of the most delicious looking pastries in the front by the cash register, just like diners do. My husband and I had already eaten so we just got a bunch of pastries to take back to our room. Boy they had a rather stunning variety. My personal favorite look like horseshoes that are encrusted with sliced almonds and covered in honey. Then the two ends of the horseshoe are dipped in chocolate. I have no idea what they are called. But holy Charlie Bucket, go get yourself one or three. I could've been very happy with a cup of coffee and one of those for breakfast a lot of mornings. One caution: the baked goods here are VERY sweet. They use a lot of honey and other gooey sweet sticky stuff in their baking. It's delicious. But if you need to watch your sugar intake like I do, be warned. Service was fine... not friendly and not unfriendly.

    With no Desserts available at Meatballs - For The People it was after a pleasant walk through Söder…read morethat two guests found themselves at Åsö Konditori & Bageri, the two-story space at Åsögatan 102 remaining busy despite an hour during which many are normally at work as a result of comfortable confines and free WiFi plus some of Stockholm's best Pastries. Located on a largely residential street not far from the Metro Station and open seven-to-seven on Weekdays with slightly shorter hours on weekends, at least one Baker still present approaching 16h00 and presumably working on items for the next day, it was after browsing still-full shelves that six items were selected, the Café upstairs offering a pleasant place to dine as the majority of patrons filled seats outside. Using slightly different nomenclature than other Konditori around Stockholm, the Wienerbrod for instance dubbed Vaniljbulle thanks to the flavor of thick Custard inside its fluffy golden coils, it was with Princess Cake dressed pretty in Pink that one of the city's best slices was found, at least five separate layers including Cream and Raspberry Compote contributing to Pound Cake that was more buttery than others but still surprisingly light. Not about to pass on the classic Fika focused on throughout nine days in Sweden, Åsö's Cardamom Bun more leavened than others and thus open beneath the sugared top with a nice stretch to the Dough, it was with a dual layer of the same Raspberry Jam tasted earlier that a Katalan Tart shined while the Tosca also performed admirably, the now-predictable Chokladbol in this instance occurring by way of a "Lillebror" that replaced with Pearl Sugar around the Chocolate and Oat core.

    Fine fine Nordic eating…read more * * * This is a bakery/cafe that covers the four basic food groups: 1) Bread 2) Pastry 3) Coffee 4) Lunch Five stars on all of the above. * * * Recipes here are standard Swedish. Where they make their mark is in execution. Let's start with the drip coffee. You know how in "Pulp Fiction" and "Twin Peaks" a running gag is Coffee that is so good, everyone stops everything they are doing to comment on how good the coffee is? Aso's drip coffee could be that amazing stop-everything coffee. My only regret is that I did not have Kyle MacLachlan or Harvey Keitel with me to enjoy a cup. * * * Lunch was Raksmorgas, a standard Swedish dish of shrimp, fresh dill, lemon, tomatoes and homemade mayonnaise on thinly sliced rye bread. Aso's adds a hard-boiled egg to the proceedings. What was so good about this? Just about everything. The shrimp were small but packed with flavor. Imagine the flavor intensity of a salami, but in small cold shrimp. Fresh dill is always wonderful. Fresh dill can make cardboard taste good. The hard boiled eggs were perfectly timed. Bright golden moist-crumbly yellow yolks. Most restaurants give you over-boiled rubbery yellow-green yolks. Net of cooking time, the eggs themselves were a lot better than the old commercial refrigerator eggs we get in the United States. I suspect these were fresh eggs. The decadent treat was the rye bread on the bottom. This covered with homemade mayonnaise. The difference between homemade mayonnaise and jar mayonnaise is like the difference between a real kiss and a picture of a kiss. The mayonnaise drips into the rye bread. So do the flavor leavings of the shrimp and the egg and the tomato. The result? Bread to die for. Sopping up the good stuff from your meal with bread is always good. Sopping up the good stuff from your meal with superior Swedish rye bread is over the top excellent. * * * How is the bakery as a bakery? Love of the life got a walnut bread with her salad that was first rate. It was stick to your ribs stuff. One roll's worth of walnut bread and you were fed for a week. And totally walnutted to boot. On the dessert side, they do have decadent blow-all-the-calories desserts. But many Swedish pastries are in the same family with English scones. These are meant to be a snack by themselves. Substantial. Restrained. Subtle but worthwhile flavor. I had a Katalan which is two thin layers of lingonberry filling between three layers of substantial pie crust. Katalan means "from Catalonia" and naturally there is nothing more Spanish than lingonberries. (Cough cough). Not a good dessert choice after a heavy meal, but it would have been perfect with coffee at four in the afternoon. * * * Overall, an absolutely fine establishment. And even better if your world stops spinning for good coffee.
