Svenska Cafe - Birmingham

I had the pleasure of discovering this charming café today: it was truly delightful! From the moment that I walked in, Madeline's kind hospitality made me feel right at home. Not only did she kindly offer to warm up my croissant, but she also went the extra mile to check that it was heated to the right temperature—perfection! Speaking of perfection, the pistachio croissant was simply divine. Paired with a heavenly chai latte that boasted just the right amount of spice, it was a match made in culinary heaven. Plus, the seamless access to reliable Wi-Fi made it the ideal spot for catching up on work or simply enjoying a moment of relaxation. With ample seating and the perfect ambiance, the café struck the perfect balance of cozy, yet vibrant. Parking was easy and convenient. Needless to say, I'm already planning my next visit to experience this slice of café paradise again. Dietary restrictions: There were alternative milks for all diets.

I’m trying to stick with small, local coffee shops and when visiting Birmingham, Svenska popped into my search. I loved this little Sweedish coffee shop! My latte was delicious! I loved the pastries here! It was hard to chose, so I bought my three! The cardamom cake was perfection! Even if the coffee wasn’t so delicious, which it IS, I would come back for this little cake!!

I was a bit disappointed to see that a lot of the food is pre-made in a cooler but it was still delicious. I had a half salmon sandwich, shrimp sandwich, and coffee. The sandwiches had a great balance of flavor and texture and the coffee was flavorful without being bitter. Staff was friendly and eager to make sure I was satisfied.Unrelated to the restaurant, Google maps had me turn into the parking lot directly in front of the Cafe which is very tight if you have anything more than a compact car. There's a lot right next to the place though that is more spacious.

Great coffee, great service, equaled a great experience!

Ordered a Viking plate on door dash.. it's presented in the picture like a sprawling feast with multiple meatballs.. i received about 6 total ounces of food... What little was there was tasty... But it shows like six or seven meatballs..i received one meatball cut in slivers.. not enough food for a child..The daim cake is a 15 out of 10 but I'm not ordering food there again.. A disappointment.
