The cardamom knots are the best I’ve had outside Stockholm, and I lived there for six years. I preorder four every Saturday so I never miss out.
★★★★★
Ordered a two-tier cake for my mom’s 70th using the builder. It looked exactly like the drawing, only better, and the lemon curd filling had the whole table quiet.
★★★★★
Our Friday treat: a seeded rye for the week and a coffee at the window table. The staff remember the dog’s name, which says it all.
