About scandinavian bakeries
The cardamom bun has quietly become one of the defining bakes of modern Britain, and it owes much to Scandinavian bakeries. Sweden, Denmark and Norway share a love of soft, spiced, buttery yeast doughs twisted into knots and swirls, of dense seeded rye bread, and of the habit of stopping for coffee and something sweet. Swedes call that pause fika; Danes call the feeling hygge. Both have found a happy home in British cities.
What to order
- Cardamom bun – Knotted, sticky and fragrant with freshly ground cardamom.
- Cinnamon bun (kanelbulle) – Swedish-style with pearl sugar on top, or Danish-style as a flaky snail.
- Spandauer – A round Danish with a pool of custard or jam in the middle.
- Tebirkes – Poppy-seed pastry filled with almond remonce.
- Rugbrød – Dense seeded rye for smørrebrød or simply butter and cheese.
