Café Victoria

The only sad things: it’s only opened during the summer (May 1 to September 30) and seating is only outside, so watch out for rain and bees!
Café Victoria is located in Uppsala’s Botanical Garden (Botaniska Trädgården). It’s tucked away in the back, and you can see the edge of the garden. Seating consists of a patio of scrunched together tables with umbrellas and heaters, and tables scattered under the trees. The former are probably your only option on rainy or cold days, and the latter are wonderful on sunny days.
We came for fika one day and lunch the next.
Coffee is 15kr. It wasn’t my favorite. Aside from coffee, they have a number of other espresso drinks. We tried the «Kall Latte,» which is espresso, milk, ice cream, and whipped cream on top. More like a coffee-​y milkshake, and a great treat. They also sell beer and cider.
The pastries were tasty and fresh. I had the småbulle (which was quite large), and the linnebulle (which was huge!)
We visited for lunch on the last day they were open, so the menu might have been shorter than usual. As is typical in Sweden, their lunch menu was short on vegetarian options. I think there was a cheese sandwich and cheese pie. I went pescetarian with the smoked salmon potato salad. It was a great mix of greens, sauces, potatoes and salads.

In summer Café Victoria serves the lunch and tappas in the afternoon. You can just sit on the gras and enjoy a nice meal and have the feeling that you are sitting in your own backyard. The food is very good and they have a good selection of meals. They also sell home made bread and if you are still hungry after lunch you can have a nice dessert, because they also have a large variety of pastry. I absolutely love this place in summer and it is definitely worth a visit!
