Honestly the best crepe I’ve ever eaten. It might be slightly small in portion, but the lingonberry cream cheese is amazing. Swedish meatballs are good too. The atmosphere is also very small and diner-like.

The food was generally good: omelette and pancakes were great, the sandwich was fine. They only take cash, and they were out of Swedish meatballs when we were there.

Went there before and brought my dad. Good is always good and service is always excellent. I can’t get enough of the Swedish crepes.

Pretty expensive for the amount of food provided. Also very tight and cramped.

The old Viking breakfast is now the Odin breakfast, and it's still the same wonderful combination: 2 eggs (mine are over medium), choice of protein (l choose Swedish sausage), toast (mine is limpa), and I ask for my potatoes crispy. Also Swedish pancakes, and, of course, lingonberries!

Service is very slow, we weren’t allowed to sit until the whole party is here, and the menu requests 20% gratuity and they calculated our total with 25%. We also had to pay in-cash only, none of these details were told online or on the website. If you’re planning to eat here, don’t expect common courtesy.

Got the Frigg, the ligonberry cream cheese in the crepes was to die for. Everything was delicious and the service was fast.

Awesome staff😏 ! Yellow pea soup is underrated. If you love those rival cucumber recipes from TikTok, try their pickled cucumber salad!
Just remember it is a small tight place.

Food was average, but the staff were really pushy for us to pay our bill and leave. Wasn't near closing time nor was it full

Catering service was great! Luis helped me determine how much food to order for my party size and we were able to feed everyone and have some leftovers. The pork & veal meatballs, mashed potatoes, and lingonberry jam were superb!!!

The food here is only ok. It's average breakfast food with a slight twist. Riding the coattails of reputation and tradition.

Delicious breakfast and lunch options with a Swedish twist. Loved the Swedish pancakes with lingonberry. Very nice staff and the decor is charming and rustic. Makes a nice change.
