Naturbageriet Sattva
Kanelsnurra
Kokos Blomma
Morots Kaka
Paron & Pekanpaj
Rawfoodbol
Located at Stora Nygatan 6 in Gamla Stan it is hard to know just what Sattva Bakery is officially called, but hailed by Vegans as one of Stockholm’s best places for Butter-free Fika a stop on Wednesday morning showed that although Sweden’s baking scene is generally quite strong they have a ways to go in terms of meeting the needs of those with Animal-free dietary preferences.
Small and well-situated along one of many narrow streets in Old Town, an outside patio empty on arrival with only two young women inside chatting while a clerk who appeared Indian went about his business after a smiling “Hej,” it was after browsing the small selection and asking a few questions answered in excellent English that four items were picked, a fifth added for free in the form of a white star.
Taking items elsewhere to enjoy, the Bakery a bit warm given its small size and ovens, it was after pictures were snapped that the complimentary Kokos Blomma was tasted, the flavor of Coconut quickly flooding the mouth though the texture was chalky and unpleasant enough to discourage additional bites.
Improving slightly henceforth, the Cinnamon Roll nicely flavored but expectedly dry considering its limitations in terms of ingredients, it was with intrigue that exceedingly moist Carrot Cake was tasted, the bitter Greens presumably Tops or perhaps Kale and the sweetness likely from Figs while a slice of Pie featuring Pears and Pecans was a highlight despite its soggy Crust.
Lacking most of the traditional Pastries sampled elsewhere in town, a “Rawfoodbol” saved for last standing in for Sweden’s ubiquitous Coconut-covered Chocolate Balls, it was not the Nuts so much as a the grainy Cocoa center that left all but one bite uneaten alongside at least 50% of everything else save for the Pie.
