About us

A little taste of Sweden in Adelaide.

We now have two locations open, our bustling seaside café on Semaphore Road, a stones throw from beautiful Semaphore Beach, and our very own bakery in Findon where all of our products are baked fresh daily with lots of love, passion and butter.

The bakery is also open to the public where we serve excellent fairtrade organic coffee, breakfast, lunch and sweet or savoury tasty treats inbetween.

We have most of the pastries you know from your Scandinavian holiday and we do all the traditional and seasonal treats such as Semlor for easter, Lussekatter for Christmas and the iconic Prinsess Tårta for special celebrations.

We specialise in traditional and not so traditional breakfasts that are available all day as well as light lunches and dinner. A must try is our homemade giant swedish meatballs with creamy onion gravy, mashed potato and lingon berry jam. Yum!

Our menu is built on inspiration from the Swedish kitchen and fused to fit in with modern Australian taste buds as well. Our more adventurous customers will not be disappointed by some of the more uncommon dishes we have to offer.

We also sell wholesale cakes, tarts and pies in the Adelaide area, please email or phone the bakery for inquiries.

We hope to see you soon and mycket Välkommen!!
