Absolutely delicious and healthy breakfast. Highly recommend the cardamom coffee, cardamom bun, and smoked trout bowl. Sit outside if it’s nice out!

I've been craving a cardamom bun ever since my trip to Sweden two years ago and this place totally hits the spot!! Tastes super close to the ones I had over there. There’s usually a bit of a line but the vibe is great and can usually find a table. Also love that they play ABBA in the background, it adds to the whole Scandinavian feel. Definitely one of my favorite spots in SF :)

There’s a person sitting outside and is on wheelchair. I don’t know how this person is expected to use restroom comfortably.

Having a wife from Sweden, the concept here is incredible because it brings a lot of familiar flavors to us in San Francisco. We often come here for Swedish holidays hoping to feel a little bit of what we get at home. The pastries are incredible. The rest, not so much.
The problem is that the service is inconsistent at best and is often times an example of San Francisco’s worst. It should not take 30 minutes to get a cold trout bowl or 15 minutes to get a cappuccino. Two people sitting at a table should not get their dishes 20 minutes apart. These are sadly, common examples of what will happen here at this restaurant.
I want to rate it higher but the service, or lack thereof, can’t make it so.

The market salad with farro piccolo is my fav salad in the entire city right now
I would happily eat this stuff every day for the rest of my life.
Really enjoyed coming here after having spent a few months trying recipes from Nichole’s cookbook!

I usually run in for coffee and their baked goods which are delicious. Their Cardamon Morning Buns, Semlor Bun, a cardamon bun with cream filling, almond croissants, and I love their cookies esp. the Kolasnittar (caramel slices) and their Jam Caves, a Scandinavian Thumbprint. The cafe is a little off the beaten track on Market (away from Downtown), a couple of blocks from Zuni Cafe. Parking is not too bad if you go up the hill away from Market St. It’s cute place with a nice vibe. I intend to have a meal there soon, their plates look delicious with whole grain breads, cheeses, porridges, eggs & salmon. As an aside, they also have a cookbook, Scandinavian from Scratch. I had a couple of questions on a recipe and asked when I happened to stop in for pastries. Nichole, the owner and creator was there and was really nice and helpful troubleshooting the recipe!

The pastries are beyond -- the cardamom knot and morning buns are faithful standbys. The staff is wonderful!
If they have the strawberry & cream morning bun, run, don't walk. It is outstanding.

Amazing pastries and coffee! Really miss how they used to do it, was always a unique experience since you could try new items with the custom board. Now its a standard and basic breakfast board which is okay but nothing that keeps me coming back (just eggs, bread, cheese, yogurt)
