Café Grannen


Café Grannen is really charming and more charmed you will get, when you understand how altruistic Sami works. The paintings hanging on the walls for example, are for sale. The café was already from the beginning a café and a gallery. Sami, who also paints, only had the opening of a gallery in mind, but also kept the café. To help "struggling artists", she sells their paintings without any commission. If you do find a spot on the wall, you're welcome to share your art with the public.

But it's also a café. Sami, the owner, makes and bakes everything herself. Like the three types of cheesecake that are usually on display, one with an exotic new flavor. If you pick a piece of that one, you have to give some feedback. And if at least five customers say they would buy the same cake again, then that variety will be on next week's menu. There are also vegan "Swedish Chocolate Balls".


If you choose the Scone buffé or brunch, you will have the possibility to taste Sami's home-made marmalades. Take the chance while you're here! Good tasting, unusual combinations like pear&cinnamon or banana&nectarin. If you prefer gluten-free scones or vegan - just write a message to the café on Facebook a few days before your visit, and they will prepare it for you.

Other charming details are the bookshelves, where you are allowed to leave or borrow book. Remember to tell Sami before you take a book, since some customers keep their reading material here to use on their next fika. Also don't forget to adore the restroom before you leave, because it is charming and unusual as the rest of this place.
