Neighborhood bakery in Vasastan, Stockholm
Lillebrors Bageri
The Little Brother Delivers
The name means little brother's bakery, and it has the right attitude. It is small, with only a few seats outside on the sidewalk, and the whole operation exists to put good baked things in your hands and send you on your way. I respect that.
The Tasting Table bakery list points to the kanelbullar, the krämbulle, a cream-filled bun, and an almond croissant with lemon zest. Visit Stockholm says the semlor here are some of the best in the city when they are in season, which in Sweden is a serious claim, because semla is a religion with a holiday. A bun at a place like this costs little. A strong coffee and a cinnamon roll is a real breakfast.
Go in the morning, while the shelves are full, buy more than you plan to, and eat on the bench or the walk. Vasastan is a good neighborhood for wandering, and a pastry in a paper bag is the right way to see it. The address appears as Rörstrandsgatan 10 on one list and 12 on another, so look for the bakery rather than the number. If you are in Stockholm during semla season, this should be your first stop.
