Raw Food House

Why not take a different fika from time to time? A more healthy one as well. Pastries that will keep your blood pressure in balance, since they are sweetened with agave syrup, dries fruits or honey. Apart from being truly delicious they contain lots of vitamins and minerals. What a great excuse for having a fika often! Raw Food House bakes their cakes and cheesecakes themselves. And they do not need to put up signs with gluten free - since everything is baked without flour. The most popular cake is the French Chocolate Cake, but there are other things as Nutella pie, Lemon balls or Mint kisses.

At Raw Food House they have unusual but healthy breakfasts. Try the chia porridge flavored with blueberry and cardamon or fermented cashew yoghurt with oat granola. With that you may drink birch sap. But there are normal drinks too. My favorite is Mocca Java with almond milk, raw cacao and chai. Last time I had stayed in the sauna for a long time, I was recommended a Sparkling Green; freshly squeezed juice with lots of chlorophyll. It will keep you going.

Chez Madame - unfortunately closed for the time being

Chez Madame has wonderfully big panoramic windows. Even though you're inside it feels light and spacious, but there are a lot of outside seats as well. Even non-smokers can enjoy the long outside-benches as the area towards Falsterbogatan is a non-smoking area.

My favorite cake is Skördekakan (The Harvest Cake). Everything is baked in the café and if you have special requests, the staff are happy to help. For example, if a family wants plain buns with butter for their kids, that can easily be arranged.

What is really awesome about this place is their brunch where everything is vegetarian. There are things like Scones, French Toast or Greek Yoghurt with fruits. You get to choose whatever you like from a menu and each plate costs 45 kr. Coffee included. Affordable, tasty and irresistible! Get  there in time or visit the second serving. One idea is to gather four or more friends and each order one brunch alternative. You may then share like a "brunch tapas".

Coffee Joint

A great way to start the day is to sit at this café and watch the busy vegetable market at Möllevångstorget; open 9 to 3 daily except Sundays. Coffee Joint's breakfast special is very good value. It is actually a small buffé with boiled eggs, bread, yoghurt, granola, fruit etcetera. And waffles that you prepare yourself. Coffee is also included. Good deal! Tastes great and you are not hungry when you leave.

They also bake their own cakes, like the Oreo Cheesecake. If the sun is out, you may catch it all day here. First on the outside tables and later in the backyard. Sitting at the bar stools by the enormous windows, is not bad either.

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! :)
