🫤 This place is delightful. But. The toilet locks, need fixing, soap, paper. When paying 145kr for a so-so pie i expect to be able to wash my hands after visiting the associated toilet facilities. The bread however was homebaked and delightful I must say. Will come back hoping to give a better review....

👍 Love this cozy place. Though they don't offer much food choices but it's OK. Considering one has scenic view just a stone throw away from the main square in Upplands Väsby and it's peaceful out here, it's more than enough for me, at least. Didn't expect they serve good latte but it was a pleasant su...

👍👍 Stopped here while walking the trail. Beautiful concept with the greenhouse doubling as a place to appreciate a good cup of coffee. Relaxing.

👍👍 We made it last day of the season- September 5th. Was beautiful weather to explore the grounds, including orchard full of apples and an ornamental flower garden. Beautiful piece of land and history, including store, cafe, museum and the mansion. Just divine. Tour was in Swedish, but we got a handout...

👍👍 I almost don’t want to write a review for this hidden gem so it stays hidden, but it is just too good to not say anything! It’s located very remotely on the island of Morrarö - so remote you almost think you missed it. At the end of the street, a hidden paradise opens up to reveal a small restauran...

👍👍 The barn with all the lights, the fire and the second hand furnitures looks soo cozy! In the summer they have a colourful flower garden, sunny places and funny parties!

👍 I liked atmosphere of cafe and high quality and taste of food. Welcome personal. Much less crowded than nearest famous place. Many things to buy. Eggs! Reasonable prices for garden stuff, discounts

👍👍 Vi hade en trevlig dag med Sven där han pratade jord och skötsel av trädgården. Vi fick en fin dag med go fika.

👍 Vasa Museum's garden Step back in time among the vegetables, medicinal herbs, and flowers that were a feature of the gardens in the 1600s. The Vasa Museum Garden has a wide variety of flowers, herbs and medicinal vegetables, many of which can be found in the gardens today. In the 17th century, lave...

👍👍 This place will make you feel relaxed just by strolling, jogging, running and is interconnected to to other places by going thru the different forests--Rosersberg, Runby, Kairo, Runsa, Löwenströmska, Brunby. Just take your time and explore.

👍 Nice overlook which is along a great path for walk. Every day the view looks different. Amazing spot for sunset.

👍 A nice small and quiet picnic area in the nature reserve. Easy to access and walking distance from the metro. There is one barbecue spot and 2 tables. So suggest to come early if you have a lot of things. There is a small water body but not like a lake. A nice picturesque and calm place.

😠 I actually applaud to the museum for the brilliance and commercial approach in squeezzing every penny out of nothing. Svindersvik is a fine example of the place where there's nothing to see and nothing to do. The place was donated to the museum although by itself it has zero historical significance...

😠 Really bad. They came and did a bad job. Dandelions, weeds and grass remain in the discounts. They left the hallway completely unclean. Did not work the hours they would. After inspection, they would return and fix what was not done properly. And it was promised that they would cut grass and hedges...

👍👍 Fantastically nice
