Güntherska Hovkonditoriet

Bästa Kanelbulle i Sverige!
Wir haben Semla und Kanelbulle gegessen, sowie einen heißen Kakao getrunken. Allws war sehr sehr lecker! Leider etwas Platzmangel, aber wir haben uns zu ein paar netten Schweden dazu gesetzt. Preise waren wie die schwedischen Verhältnisse leider etwas teurer

This is the place for amazing warm drinks and pastries in Uppsala. Yes, it is pricey, but all the pastries are beautiful and it’s a wonderful place to enjoy a coffee or even ice cream by the river in the summer.

On my first visit, I was fighting that anxiety of not having my smartphone to take photos, because I’m silly like that. I was soon comforted because Güntherska Hovkonditoriet was so cool, I knew we would be back soon.
The salmon/​baked chèvre/​lemon/​honey salad I had on our first visit was so tasty, we came back within a week and both ordered it.
The salads are pricy at 165kr. But each one comes with plenty of bread, mineral water, a coffee (normally 30kr!), and a choice of one of their fancy dressings. We loved the «herb aioli» and «garlic» dressings. I might have put the salad dressing on my bread by accident, but I can tell you it was tasty there too.
Heads up, they won’t let you upgrade the coffee to another drink, but nbd.
Aside from salads, we tried two custards and a latte that were amazing.
Atmosphere-​wise, Güntherska is that old classy-​casual style that’s popular with fika spots. Like striped wallpaper and ornate lighting fixtures.
It’s also a popular «seat yourself» place. They request that you find a seat before you order. It can be tricky, but it’s worth it. There’s more seating in the back, and even more in the outdoor courtyard in the back.
We’ve had such good experiences here, it’s hard to try other places!

«What a long line» was my first thought! My second was that it moved quickly and i’m glad we waited. The cakes, pie, ice cream, coffee and teas were all great and liked by everyone! If you have a sweet tooth… GO! This place is an amazing fika spot. Everything is homemade and delicious. It seemed like Uppsala really likes it here so we gave it a stop in. I read a little about it before hand, because I tend to want to know what i’m getting myself into and I was pleased with what was said about it. Their website also said that the owners have a legacy going several generations back with owning different bakeries. It seems like all the fifth generation kids work here and you’ve got to love supporting a local family business, right?! The only thing anyone was let down by was that they didn’t warm up any of the pies that we ordered and none of us wanted to try and squeeze back in through that crazy full entry doorway again (we were seated outdoors.) So, be sure to ask for a warm up if thats what your getting! Otherwise, all I have to say is good about the place.

Stopped at this charming Swedish café for traditional fika. Beautiful location. There will always be a line, but it moves fast and it is worth the wait. Truly enjoyed the sweets and coffee was brewed perfectly!

Very fresh and delicious pastries!

A great Swedish Café which reminded me of the best Viennese Cafés I know!
They have a great choice in delicious pastries, snacks as well as in drinks (I would warmly recommend their Chai Latte with Soy milk!).
Their sittings are comfortable and the staff is very friendly; what else could you wish for?! :)

Busy and crowded, but wonderful place by the river. 1 glass of Italian sparkling wine is 55 SEK.
