Café Husaren is the most famous, with Hagabullen the size of a dinner plate! Kringlan has excellent traditional versions. Brogyllen offers organic options. Arrive before 11:00 for freshest buns and to avoid queues.
Fika is the Swedish tradition of taking a coffee break with pastries, typically cinnamon buns (kanelbullar), cardamom buns (kardemummabullar), or princess cake. It's about slowing down and socializing. Haga is the perfect place to experience authentic fika.
