👍👍 Cute little Cafe in Birmingham with just enough food and drink offerings to jeep things interesting. Loved the colors and random/mix-match furniture in the place. This place has the BEST grilled cheese sandwich I've ever tasted and I cannot wait to have another! People often mention coffee, nice, sandwich, delicious,

    Really enjoyed everything. Paris, the Barista, was friendly and helpful. I want to try all their baked goods! I thank Jesus for this shop

    Really nice staff that takes care of the customers. Relaxing atmosphere to work on homework, or visit with friends. They sell some Swedish candy and dessert.

    Came in with hubby for a coffee to go and the very nice lady said the coffee is on house because it is Father’s Day today. What a warm morning! We bought a little pastry. Cute a little shop with plenty parking in front the store.

    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.

    I love their violet latte but was a bit sad that there was no art. My boyfriend had a vanilla latte and he likes the place a lot. I loved their baked goods; they're to die for. The seating was comfortable and the place is very home and small. I will definitely come again.

    Cute little cafe you don't have to wait in line like commonwealth or First watch nearby. Coffee drinks are strong and lots of healthy options.

    The cafe is cute and the food was very fresh. The shaded outdoor seating is great. The employees seemed kind of lost though. They asked four or five times whether our order was for there or to go even though we were the only party ordering, and the service was a bit slow.

    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.

    One the first coffee shops we visited, and have been going there ever since. Not fancy or hipster, but consistently good coffee, bites and service, location, and parking. A very relaxed "Scandi" atmosphere. Support this local small business!

    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!!

    It's a charming cafe with a small selection of delicious food that tastes like home. Menu changes daily. Located in Birmingham, hence priced as such. Clean and cozy.

    Love this place. Staff is always so kind and always makes sure your order is 100% correct. The food and beverages are all so yummy. Cozy and cute atmosphere as well.

    Absolutely wonderful spot. Loved the ambiance and delicious breakfast. The Lox sandwich was perfection. I can't wait for my next visit.

    Off the path, quiet little coffee shop, very clean chic young Birmingham meeting place. Sit and enjoy a great cut of java.

    The girls are very nice and the senior lady that was working today very nice too. But the other lady that was working with the senior lady is very rude and very unclean (for not staying something else)!! Once she prepared a sandwich for me and it come with hairs on it, and after biting I noticed kind of sand on it. Probably she didn't clean the lettuce. Since then I didn't go there for some time. Today unfortunately she was there again... very rude, the cup of coffee cracked and not that clean, and she took the napkins from my hand saying that she already gave them to us, while we didn't have any. How could we have napkins without having food first?! But this time I didn't order anything to prepare. Just a baked good, which didn't need any preparation as I was scared of her dirtyness ... If it wasn't for her, I'd give 5* for the other people there, nice food and very good capuchino/Espresso.

    My husband and I had a great time at this swedish cafe. Loved their pesto panini and marzipan. Hubs loved the cardamom pastry. Good coffee too! Interior was also cute. Robyn was extremely friendly and likeable. Definitely worth checking out! Thanks Robyn!!

    I came to study for a little bit and have a cappuccino, and I enjoyed my time very much. The inside is very pretty and relaxing, my cappuccino was wonderful. Much better than anything I’d get from anywhere else. The owner was very sweet as well, and gave a homeless man outside an iced coffee on this hot summer day, which was very nice of her.

    Perfect spot to grab a cappuccino for a conversation or to crank out some work on a laptop. The owner or their employee was so friendly and accommodating. Parking was also much easier than spots over on "main street."

    Delightful owner/employee. The chicken curry sandwich was fantastic & the cardamom treat was delish. We will definitely be back, loved the cozy “euro-village” atmosphere.
