We're quite lucky to have a branch in Västra Hamnen. A variety of fresh breads and pastries everyday, and the cafe is also a nice place to hangout. The staff are warm and kind. Whether there's a queue or sometimes demanding customers, they handle the situation pretty well.

Gateau Västra Hamnen is a wonderful spot, especially because it’s dog-friendly! I enjoy having a delicious fika while my furry family member is by my side. The atmosphere is cozy, the pastries and coffee are delightful, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. It’s the perfect place to relax and treat yourself! I can recommend for both humans and their dogs!

Stopped for lunch here to get out of the rain and had the caesar salad and an americano. It was a nice place with kind employees.

Wonderful, quiet coffee shop. Good selection of fresh pastries and breads. The kardemummabullar (Cardamom bun) is divine.

Great salted caramel latte and pistachio buns. Could’ve been more attentive to table cleanliness though.
