Heidi When I was in Lund for the first time, I passed by St: Jakobs Stenugnsbageri. It was February and it had snowed in the morning. In one of the cozy streets I saw a line of people queuing. This had to be something special, I thought. The name of the bakery/coffee house immediately rang a bell when I was back in Lund a few months later and was meeting up for fika at this place. Maybe I even made a small jump of joy at the prospect. I would soon know why Lund inhabitants were so enthusiastic about this place.
Update: meanwhile the name changed from St: Jakobs Stenugnsbageri to Broder Jakobs Stenugnsbageri.
Favourite fika spot in Lund
We were lucky. The queue was not so long during the summer months (Lund is a university town). We ordered coffee and hot chocolate and kardemummabulle. My companion immediately took some to take home as well. When I took a bite of my kardemummabulle I knew why it was often so busy at St: Jakobs Stenugnsbageri, and why she had bought the extra’s. This was fika at its best: in an authentic interior (who says coffee bars all have to look over-hip?!), with authentic, tasty products.
The hot chocolate was made with real chocolate. No powder that they dissolve in water or milk, but the real thing! Who orders a coffee can take a free påtår (a second time). It was just super cozy to sit here and suddenly I felt ‘väldigt svensk’. A hotspot to remember and definitely to come back again!
