- RussellMarch 23, 2015Fantastic food. I would recommend the meatballs and smorgasbord selections, which you can choose 3 or 5 options. First time, based on foursquare reviews, but definitely not last
Chris HainesMay 23, 2015Lovely little place for excellent cinnamon buns and great coffee. Friendly staff, delicious treats and a mini shop attached to add to your own Scandinavian kitchen, what more could you want!?
- ChiaraApril 21, 2013Choose the Smorgasbord, a combination of open sandwiches, wraps and salad! Delicious appetizers on rye bread and healthy drinks! Salmon to-die-for! A+++ for your breakfast/brunch!!!
I love this place. An independent cafe close to Oxford Street with great food made from scratch. Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Extra seating downstairs if it is busy
Open sandwiches are impossible to eat without making the biggest mess, but they're great. The cakes are very good too. Cinnamon rolls lacking a good cinnamon kick... a bit insipid.
Jason HirstAugust 29, 2014Brilliant place for Scandinavian food lovers and really wonderful staff. Have an abundance of all scandi-foods, freshly made delicacies and just oozes awesomeness!
Bob SmithMarch 13, 2017The open sandwiches looked great and tasted good. Our picture is of an avocado sandwich. We nick named it the caterpillar.
As long as you have a bit more money, you can taste nordic life, especially Sweden, without actually going to that part of that world. :)
AdleyAugust 27, 2018Nice salads, all goods u buy here are from Sweeden ;) Geitost is my favourite cheese ;)
They sell the meatballs, special sauce and lingonberry jam in their store! For those who love to have the Scandinavian experience at home, too.
Marta DatkiewiczOctober 4, 2014Great selection of Scandinavian delicacies, including smoked mackerel, salmon and salads.
Akin OJune 11, 2014Try the smörgåsbord with the salad toppings. Absolutely delicious and very well made. Remember to ask the staff for suggestions.
Twenty Something LondonOctober 9, 2012The next big thing in the foodie scene. Scandi food is light, tasty, and fresh. Great place to have a totally unordinary lunch. Full article here http://goo.gl/GTGLE
sergioDecember 3, 2010really friendly and welcoming staff, which is always a great plus, and the coffee is quiet nice, the small food shop is amazing if you want to find scandinavian products. Like it.
A piece of Scandinavia in London. Great assortment of Scandi food goods to go or stay, super friendly staff, and amazing coffee. A must for anyone, especially home sick Vikings.
The shop is brilliant and most of the staff speaks some scandinavian language. There's free wifi but you need to signup to their newsletter. No biggie.
orranjJanuary 3, 2013they definitely add something into their drinks! you begin to feel excited and happy and wanna go back here again and again
- Romy KrausMay 20, 2013Best coffee -- hands down -- and Swedish homemade chocolate cake is addictive guilty pleasure
Ben HammersleyAugust 6, 2014Ask for a Thor's Hammer - strong black coffee with an extra shot of espresso.
Food is great, however I generally like to have my food and drink together. Twenty minutes is not an acceptable amount of time to wait for a coffee. The barista needs a firework up their arse
The only place I know that sells fresh yeast! Don't forget to stock up Scandinavian grocery & cake break
Wordbank LtdJuly 22, 2011How about a bit of Swedish mixed in with your Scandinavian food? Ask for a table for 2 in Swedish "Bord för två tack." [Boord foer tvo tak] www.wordbank.com
Go for the meatballs. They come with your choice of salads, so try some different ones and see what you like. Just make sure you don't leave it too late: they sell out pretty quickly.
Scott GDecember 7, 2014Good for your Nordic food shopping and snacks. People hog the sits unnecessarily though, and the affluent types that come here seem to lack some manners.
Kirk McMurrayOctober 21, 2011Try the Flat White Coffee - Flat white's seem to be popular in the UK... basically Americano + milk, I think.
sean singletonJanuary 14, 2010Go for breakfast. Great coffee, lovely porridge and the friendiest people in London (well they are Swedish). Free hugs supplied when you use their coffee loyalty card!
SandyNovember 11, 2011Hot dogs! Have the snap! Get it with everything: ketchup, mustard, spicy mayo, crispy onions.
