Cakes, buns and a purple-pink room in Norrmalm
MR Cake is a pastry shop and café on Regeringsgatan in Norrmalm, a few minutes from Hötorget station. You walk into a modern room done in purple-pink, with a long counter of cakes and buns and plenty of seating along the windows.
Start with the red velvet croissant, a buttery pastry with a cream cheese filling, or the classic cinnamon bun, soft and generous in size. The cream cheese cinnamon bun is the filled variant to try if you want one thing only, and the cheesecake and the salted caramel cake hold their texture rather than collapsing into sugar. Gluten-free pastries are laid out with the rest.
The format is counter service: you pick from the case, pay, then find a table. Coffee and espresso are made properly, and brunch and breakfast plates come out of the kitchen, though sandwiches and pancakes can take a long time when the room is busy. The space is clean and modern, with strollers parked around the room at weekends.
Prices run high for what lands on the plate, and the shelves can look sparse next to the size of the café. Come on a weekday morning if you want to sit without a queue; Saturdays bring the crowds and the noise.
Treat it as a sit-down cake stop rather than a quick grab, and it rewards you.

Who is this for
This suits anyone who wants a proper sit-down cake stop in central Stockholm, with a long counter of pastries and room to linger over coffee. It also works for travellers with dietary needs, since gluten-free pastries are part of the regular range rather than an afterthought. Families with strollers will find the space open enough to park and settle.
If you want a savoury meal rather than cake, Hötorgshallen off Sergels Torg serves fish soup with free bread, salad and water for around 18 euros.
The verdict
It is a polished café with a few pastries worth the trip rather than a full bakery counter, and the high prices are the trade-off for sitting down in central Norrmalm.
