Swedish Cafe: Fågel Blå

Last weekend, a friend and I trekked in the biting winter wind to the Swedish cafe: Fågel Blå.

I decided to get the February seasonal sweet, Semla, a sweet roll served between Christmas and Easter originally only eaten on Shrove Tuesday before Lent.

I was surprised by the subtle flavor of Semla. Simple and filling, Semla is a basic wheat-roll with a bit of cardamom mixed in, whipped cream, and almond paste.

I also got the Lingonberry Soda, which went perfectly with my Marimekko inspired manicure!

The cafe is currently hosting a Swedish exchange student who helps out around the cafe.

 Fågel Blå sells a variety of Swedish and Scandinavian goods and zakka.

Some zakka include: coasters, tea towels, teacups, postcards,

 Marimekko pot holders and children's shoes.

Some lovely traditional cross-stitch work hangs on the walls.

The cafe has a relaxed, at home atmosphere, and is rumored to have a terrific brunch menu...

 I know I will go back again soon to try it!
