Swedish Hill

The Vibe

You'll love Swedish Hill, it's one of my favorite spots for a weekend treat. It's a bit pricey, but the quality is fantastic, and it's well-deserved for their incredible pastries. The cardamom buns are a must-try, always warm and perfectly spiced, and their quiches are surprisingly good for a bakery. They have a lovely outdoor seating area with plenty of shade, which is perfect for a relaxed morning coffee or a light lunch. It gets pretty busy around brunch time, especially on Saturdays, so I usually try to go early or a little later in the afternoon to avoid the biggest crowds. Parking can be a bit tight, but there's usually street parking a block or two away if their small lot is full.
