Good place for classic fika in the months of summer. Stick to the plain coffee which is decent and try a local specialty pastry.

Wow, this place is a cute little dream! Perfect place for fika. The staff are very nice and we found some antique trinkets in the small second hand. This is a perfect place to celebrate together and/or bring someone who is visiting town. Try the blueberry pie! Honestly, we might go have lunch there this week. This place is WHEELCHAIR accessible from the side entrance, the front entrance has 2 or 3 steps to climb.
