had my first fika in sweden at st. jakobs stenugnsbageri! this location is inside the malmo saluhall which has a bunch of smaller stands of local restaurants/cafes. this location has a cute ambiance with tables and candlelight.
we came on a wednesday around 5pm looking for a cinnamon bun and a lot of pastries were gone, but they still had a decent selection. we decided to try the semla (a seasonal pastry) and a chocolate ball.
semla: a creampuff-like pastry with a cardamom bun, whipped cream, and almond paste. i enjoyed this pastry since it was not too sweet. the cardamom flavor was light and the almond paste added to the whipped cream flavor.
chocolate ball: a dessert with chocolate, oats, coconut flakes i think, etc. this also tasted good but it seems like a dessert you could probably easily make at home.
i think my total came out to be around 74SEK for these two pastries. i would come back again, especially earlier in the day to try the cinnamon buns and for more fresh pastries since these were served cold and were toward the end of the day. read more
