Noir

This café is located on a cozy little backstreet to Lilla Torg. It is leafy and peaceful. Noir does not have a lot of indoor seats, but they do have a bigger open-air café, with classical French café chairs and tables. I like sitting both indoors, because the wall is one big window, and outdoors, because it is almost always possible to find some shadow, or sun or wrap yourself in a white fleece blanket.

Here they take coffee seriously. It is one of the reasons it is called Noir Kaffekultur (Coffee Culture). The coffee is brewed with coffee beans from LOVE Coffee Roasters in Lund. This place aim for organic and local produce. Like the drink Lina's and her bees, or the stylish soda from Naturfrisk in Denmark. You may drink them only because their labels are so pretty. The pastries are made on the spot and change depending on the season.

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.

Green Queen

This healthy café is run by Ika and Ove on the outskirts of Möllan. The café itself doesn't have a lot of seats but you may sit outside by some tables, though bare in mind that Nobelvägen might get a bit noisy during the day. If that is the case, then you can always head over to the beautiful Jesus park, which has a perfectly fine lawn that makes great for sitting on as well as the fact that you've got a great view over the park.

One of my friends asked if there were any pastries without gluten at this café. The thing is that all pastries are baked without flour because Ika doesn't believe in processed food. The pastries don´t even contain white sugar but they do contain a lot of different variations of nuts, seeds as well as chocolate. I personally chose a very delicious Snickerboll and my friend picked out a Raw chocolate lavender cheesecake for herself.

Green Queen also happens to have an espresso machine, which makes perfect coffee if you want good tasting coffee. But I would really advice you to try their healthy Smoothies or the Raw Shakes when you're here. I actually asked Ika what she would recommend for me who have had a cold for about a week and she advised me to try out the " To bee or not to bee ", which contains buckthorn and be pollen and some other goodies. I'm not sure if it was a coincidence but the very next morning I woke up full of energy and I literally jumped out of my bed without my horrible cold! :)

Gateau

I usually don't stay for fika here, but Gateau still has a place in this blog. I always buy my bread here. You can also find artistic pastry; the other week I bought some for my oldest son´s birthday. And it is here Anders and I buy our take-away Americanos, when we catch the train to Copenhagen or haven't had time to eat breakfast at home. The sandwiches are made to order and they put on plenty of ham and cheese etc. Some costumers even ask for less!

Gateau was established in the 80's in Stockholm. They were then situated on Norrmalmstorg and were proud of being the most expensive café in the city. 2011 Gateau opened several cafés in Malmö and after a while they were forced to adjust the prices in line with  Malmö.

If you like something sweet that will keep you satisfied all day, then choose the Köpenhamnaren. If you like to buy some bread, I vote for Grand Blanc or Apricot and Hazelnut Bread, which both are delicious to toast!
