A bakery counter in Norrmalm

This is a branch of Bröd & Salt, sitting on Drottninggatan in Norrmalm, the pedestrian street where you will pass it without planning to. What you notice first is the counter: pastries laid out, sandwiches made to order, and a salad bar at the back for anyone who wants lunch rather than fika.

The kanelbulle is what to buy. It comes out soft and fresh, and it is less sweet than the cinnamon buns you may be used to, which is why it works so well with coffee. A blueberry bun holds its own alongside it, and the semla earns its place in season. If you want something savoury, the breakfast sandwich with coffee is a quick start, and the salad bar is a solid option at a fair price.

Order at the counter and take a seat if there is one; the room fills up and gets loud. You can sit outside when the weather allows, which is the better spot on a bright day.

Prices sit low for the street: a pastry and a coffee is a small outlay, and the salad bar gives you a full lunch without spending much more. Download the app before you order to collect points and discounts on repeat visits.

If you are here for the bun and the fika ritual, it delivers.

What to look for

Kanelbulle

Soft, fresh and less sweet than cinnamon buns elsewhere, which makes it the reason to come back for another.

Blueberry bun

A second bun worth ordering alongside the cinnamon one, holding up in a mixed order of pastries and sandwiches.

Semla

In season, the semla is the pick.

The pick list

What to bring home

  1. Kanelbulle

    The cinnamon bun is soft and fresh and less sweet than versions elsewhere.

  2. Blueberry bun

    A blueberry bun was part of a five-person order of pizza, sandwiches, cinnamon buns and coffee.

  3. Pizza slice

    Slices go alongside sandwiches and buns.

  4. Semla

    The semla holds up well.

  5. Breakfast sandwich

    Pick up a breakfast sandwich with coffee at the counter, or a quick lunch sandwich, and sit outside when the weather allows.

Who is this for

Solo explorers who want a first kanelbulle and a seat on Drottninggatan without committing to a full meal will find the counter easy to use. Quick stop commuters passing through Norrmalm can pick up a breakfast sandwich and coffee from 7 am on weekdays. Anyone treating fika as the point of the morning should come for the bun and the blueberry one, and treat the coffee as secondary.

The verdict

The pastry counter is worth the stop, and the seating gets crowded and loud, so it suits a quick fika rather than a long sit-down.
