Älskade Traditioner

Älskade Traditioner is Swedish comfort café-food at its best. A plethora of cookies, pastries, and pies are on sale, along with artisan coffee and milkshakes with a Swedish twist.

The café is very popular with Södermalm’s locals and usually fully packed, so don’t be surprised if you have to wait for a while before being seated.
