Bäckerei

When I was hanging out with my new travel companions, one of the ladies in the group wanted to get a cinnamon bun. When she was able to find some, she mentioned it was like «Heaven on Earth». I also realised that I have not eaten a cinnamon bun in Stockholm yet, so I walked into this place on a whim during my last morning in Stockholm. This place is located on a major shopping street called Drottninggatan and it was very close to the hostel we were staying.
For about 23 SEK, I got a cinnamon bun. Since this place is a German-​themed bakery, it was called the «Zimtschnecke» in German, but also the «kanelbulle» in Swedish. The bun wasn’t too sweet, but it had a nice chewiness. One bun from this place should be enough for a light breakfast for the whole morning before eating a good lunch.
The lady who worked at the counter was very nice and helpful, and this place does seem to offer a variety of good deals if you want some baked goods at this place. Presentation of the baked goods was really nice.
Overall, I don’t think this place is the best place to get a cinnamon bun, but it’s a decently good bakery at a nice location in Stockholm. If you are looking for an inexpensive breakfast in this part of Stockholm, this place might not be a bad choice.

Not much from Germany in this German bakery if not to account several sorts of Berlin bread, but somehow they made the interior very attractive and eye-​catching so it is hard just to path by without checking it out and taking several bread buns with you.

What a disappointment this place was to me. Being German, the word «Bäckerei» brings back memories of walking into a warm and cosy place where you are greeted with a warm smile by the staff behind the counter. There’s a whole array of different kinds of sweet treats on display in the counter and engined the staff there’s usually several racks stacked up with all different kinds of golden and brown breads.
Here’s what happened when I walked into «Bäckerei»: it’s really cold, as the door is wide open. The whole place is in typical Scandinavian simplicity, but while I usually like this slickness as it is both comfortable and elegant, this place was neither elegant, nor comfortable… it rather looked unfinished.)
There’s a large table, where you can pick and choose your baked goodies, which is fine — I don’t necessarily need someone to help me pick up a roll… but what I missed wast the kind service. The lady in charge today didn’t see t know much about breads nor customer service at all. It seems she was merely there facilitate my transaction. There’s a sofa and a couple of tables, which are there, I assume to invited people to sit down and relax, but with the door wide open, and the first winter chills to come in quite swiftly, there was not much of relaxation to be have. (Upon further investigation, we found out that the door had be open, so that customers know that the place is open. While this might sound logical, I cannot — by any means — align this statement with my environmental conscience…)
Bäckerei might be an ok place to pick up a German pretzel or a sandwich (my colleague told me that the sandwich was actually quite tasty), but I really didn’t feel welcome at this place and so I shan’t be back…
