Valhallabageriet

May be the best bakery in Sweden, definitely the best I’ve found. Very good bread, proper croissants, and you need to try the cheese and olive bread and the cardamom buns. Small place and almost always a queue — but efficient and friendly service nonetheless.

I can’t believe no one has mentioned the King Oscar II torte /​cake !!
I’d like to see a photo of it if someone enjoys this soon! The King Oscar II cake I enjoyed was an almond torte, many layers, coated in almonds on its exterior, with a very, very light butter — cream frosting (almost as if half whipped cream frosting mixed with butter cream frosting).
I’d LOVE to find (or devise) a recipe for this cake that I enjoyed here. The recipe I see online for this cake state that it’s hazelnut, and look short and gooey. While this bakery’s version was tall-​ish, almond, and VERY light.
Unbelievably delicious! If anyone could post a photo of it, or post or send me an approximation of the recipe used by this bakery, I’d feel really grateful. If I figure out a copycat recipe, I’ll update this review.
I was lucky enough to live here for 6 months and to have found this bakery + its King Oscar II cake. Easily the best cake I’ve ever had!

One of stockholms best bakeries. Their kardemummabullar is amazing so are their sourdough breads. Cozy and a local gem. Expect some queueing on the weekends in the morning!

This place is awesome. Great bread and pastries, and reasonably priced. The only drawback is that it’s difficult to find a table, and that people love this place so much that you’ll have to stand in line in order to get what you want.

I’m shocked the wait isn’t even longer than it already was. This is one of the best bakeries I’ve ever been to. Everything is amazing. While we waited, everyone kept telling us how amazing it was. It’s largely unknown to tourists because it is in a little bit of a hidden neighborhood, but definitely worth the trek.
Everything in Stockholm seems to have a numbering system and this bakery is no exception, so the first thing you should do is grab a number! They call the numbers out in Swedish, but you can check the status by going in and looking at the counter where they stack the used numbers.
We knew we wanted a cardamom pastry, but they were all out by the time our turn was up. But we were offered an alternative cardamom half loaf, which was just as great and we were able to save some of it for dessert later on in the day.
The square croissant with custard and fresh blueberries was divine, the strange bar with nuts on top was great for me, but the boyfriend was too distracted by the cardamom loaf to pay much attention to it.
We also tried some tea and it’s delicious. Loose leaf and freshly made. You order that at the counter, but if you’re more of a coffee person, the coffee is self serve and you just let them know so you can pay for it.
If in Stockholm, this is a must try if you’re a food lover.

It looked, smelled, tasted, and felt good. It is really beyond words.
Don’t forget to take a number (at the right of the door) and if you don’t speak Swedish – keep an eye on the person who may have gotten the number in front of yours. They speak English, and are quite friendly – but the last two numbers are called out in Swedish.
Worth a trip. Anything flaky (croissants, fruit square on flaky bread [2^nd best thing we ate here]), yeasty (canella or cardamom bun [THE highlight for me]), or more dense (chocolate ball, nut square) were all excellent. The egg sandwich, I might warn, has a strong anchovy sauce – so although I didn’t love it, it was well made.

I am reviewing Valhalla Bageriet based solely on their pastries — cinnamon, cardamom buns and wiener bread. The pastries are very good, some of the best you will find in Stockholm. It does get full very quickly and the lines are long even in the early morning but their freshly baked pastries are worth it.

This is an absolute must while visiting Stockholm. Located off the beaten path. Hole in the wall. Only seats about 8 people.
They have the best Cardamom twists (Kardemummabulle) in the world!
Their baked breads (as in loaf of bread) look like they are from Medieval times. some are so big, but no problem. You can buy a half.
Another favorite of mine is the Fyrkant (square) with cheese. It has raisins it.
If there is no room to sit dow; bring it to go and walk to the eater by Djurgådsbron and Nobelparken.
