    Uber event
    Makerita L.

    Just love this old building, it's like a museum all around. Beautiful view of Lake Washington (I think that's what its call) or the Puget Sound..lol one or the other. Had some old weaving mills displayed on the second floor and some other artifacts. I was there for an Uber event and I think it's a private club so it's not accessible to the general public. Great place to have a conference, wedding reception or any big event. Easy to find and lots of parking available on the lower lot.

    This review is for the Swedish Club and not the pancake breakfast. I've been to numerous events over the past few years and I have grown to love this place more and more. The staff here have been nothing but welcoming since the first day I walked in. The building is located on Queen Anne and over looks Lake Union. There are some really spectacular views from the 3 Crowns room and the balcony around it. There is ample parking and the building is easily accessible. There seems to be something going on everyday here and the building is open even if you just want to look around. The Swedish Club knows how to throw a party. I highly recommend going to ABBA night once in your lifetime. These people know how to throw a party. There are people of all ages and all walks of life who attend these events so don't be scared. My personal favorite is Eurovision night. They watch Eurovision on the big screen upstairs and open the bar for drinks and snacks. They offer svensk classes for those wanting to learn a little Swedish. They also have weaving classes and a bunch of choirs to join as well. I think I can say that there's something for everyone here. Tusen tack!

    After hearing about the Swedish Cultural Center's Sunday breakfast a few times, we finally made it over to Seattle to check it out the first Sunday of this month. Overall, it was a really enjoyable event! Parking is either in the lot at the Swedish Cultural Center or across the street in another lot. We arrived probably around 10:30 or so and felt lucky to find a spot... when we were leaving, someone was already waiting for our spot behind us too! It appears there is also street parking around the place, but I honestly didn't look at any special parking permit required or anything like that. When you get inside after a nice greeting by a gentleman in a kilt, you join a line to pay for the breakfast (CASH ONLY, be prepared!). Several people were also enrolling to become members which will give you a free breakfast that morning too. We picked up a flyer with events sponsored by the Center and it looked like there were several fun activities including a Viking Happy Hour, a Christmas gift shopping event, movie nights, etc. After paying - in cash ($9/person) - and getting 2 tickets, you enter the dining area and follow the ropes to the food service area. There are several large circular communal tables with people enjoying their Swedish pancakes and having conversations with one another. Coffee is provided on the tables (and it's good coffee too!), orange juice is also available near where you pick up the food. You get 3 folded up Swedish pancakes, lingonberry or strawberry sauce (lingonberry was delish!) and some fresh whipped cream on top. You also get a big piece of ham with your first serving which really goes well with the sweet breakfast. For seconds, you can have more pancakes, but not more ham. We ended up sitting with some of the cooks and some other members of the Cultural Center. It seemed kind of like a family dinner party and we felt very welcomed there. There's music playing from a band, room to dance if you want to, good food.. fun! This definitely seems like a family friendly event and I think kids would enjoy seeing live music and the food is approachable to little ones as well.

    This place makes me happy. They offer Swedish language classes, a gorgeous pancake breakfast on the first Sunday of each month, and a killer view of the city. I'm half Swedish and love the fact that there's a place where I can get in touch with my roots or catch a subtitled Scandinavian film! Parking can be headachy but plan ahead and you should be fine. There's space behind their building and on the street. Or you can carpool or take the bus.

    I would never have found this place if there wasn't a UYE (breakfast club). The Swedish pancakes are great! CASH ONLY! It's $9 per adult and you can get two plates: first plate pancakes with meat and second plate just pancakes. You have choice of orange juice, milk, coffee and tea. The first plate comes with 3 rolls of Swedish pancakes with either strawberry topping or raspberry with whipped cream and a piece of ham. I didn't get to have the second plate because I was already filled up with the first plate. There were a lot of people. It's more like family style. Since all the Yelpers arrived different time, we had two or three different tables with others. It was actually pretty fun. The table two other Yelpers and I sat was shared with a family. The wife was next to me and she was really interested in food as well. We had conversation about food and where to grab good food. In front of the breakfast room, there's a space that people can dance with Swedish music. A lot of the members of Swedish Cultural, they also wore traditional clothes to the breakfast. There's parking lot behind the building and across street. Or, you can find parking on the street. Thanks Food Ninja for finding this great breakfast place! It was awesome.

And as for me, I always like to stop in and wander indie international grocery sites. Scandinavian Specialties is located on Crown Hill in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood. There are a few parking slots adjacent to their building and also accessible via Metro bus. Nice, bright, clean site with well organized shelves and display areas. Easy to navigate and wander. Welcoming and upbeat service at the front register. The retail side of had a nice selection of jewelry, knives, socks, knitwear and sweaters, household decor, chocolates and other sweets, packaged and canned goods, frozen and refrigerated items. There's also an adjacent cafe area. The menu is visible above the front counter register. The Homie ended up selecting a bag of salted licorice (local), cloudberry jam (rare, imported), and Finnish bread cheese (Juusto, domestic from Wisconsin). He was happy with his finds and hopes to return to dine at their onsite cafe. *Scandinavian: Denmark, Norway, Sweden *Nordic: the above and Finland

They offer plenty of indoor and outdoor seating (note that pets are not allowed indoors). They have a great selection of hot brunch items, plus pastries and cakes. The whole place is modern and bright. The coffee tasting menu is unique, offering latte and espresso flights, and pour-overs. We tried the latte flight, which comes with four adventurous, creative flavors--including a miso latte! Overall, they were a bit on the sweet side for my taste, but very fun to try. The pour-over, however, was phenomenal: deep, rich, and full of berry notes. For food, we had: * Almond Croissant: Perfectly crispy on the outside. I loved that the filling was distributed all the way to the edges, so you get some in every single bite. * Chicken Avocado Salad: A wonderfully light meal featuring grilled chicken breast and a light dressing.

If I had more time to leisurely work or talk with company here, I would have opted to go this more adventurous route. However, I did end up trying one of their seasonal menu items - the Sakura Blossom Cloud Latte. I customized this drink with oat milk, even though the foam has to stay as dairy. The oat milk added a nutty creaminess that I particularly enjoyed. There were notes of the sweet Sakura syrup with a slight saltiness from the cream foam that gives the drink its perfect balance. It was a refreshing drink for a pick-me-up and they only had it for a limited time! My only thing is that I felt some coffee beans at the bottom that may not have been grinded as finely but other than that, the drink was amazing and I would recommend as a good backdrop for a spring walk!

Unfortunately, the service really took away from the experience. Our server, Jennifer Burnett, was noticeably warm and attentive to another group nearby, but with us, the service felt dismissive and disengaged. For example, my husband ordered an Aperol spritz, and when they were out, we substituted Campari--but what arrived resembled a raspberry sparkling water, not even close to what Campari tastes like. When we brought it up, the response felt very brushed off. It's disappointing because the setting and food have so much potential, but service matters. I'd recommend spending your money elsewhere in Poulsbo--there are plenty of great spots along the main strip that offer both good food and a better overall experience.
