Café Sirap, Stockholm

I’ve had Swedish food once since I moved to Stockholm. For the most part, my diet has been monopolized by Thai, Italian, Japanese, coffee, pasta salad.

So you could imagine my excitement when I was going to eat pancakes!!! Oh wait. They’re American. American food. Never had it. Wonder if it’s good.

Just kidding. I AM AMERICAN!!! AND I LOVE PANCAKES!!! AAAAAAHHHHHH SO HAPPY! NOM NOM NOM!

So a co-worker suggested we all go out for Amerikan Pancakes Breakfast (she’s Dutch and that’s how she talks). A group of about 12 of us went and we indulged in the experience that is Swedish pancakes in Stockholm.

Ready for this? They were BETTER than American ones!!! They were richer, more buttery pancakes. They were smaller in size, so you didn’t feel like it was a massive American portion that sent you spiraling into a food coma. They were more cooked than American pancakes so they had that nice greasy crust around the edges that I love when I make my own pancakes.

They served their pancakes with a plethora of toppings that you could choose from, from apples, to blueberries, to BACON!!! They also cooked some ingredients right into the pancakes.

If you don’t like pancakes they have a wide range of other American breakfast food.

A great breakfast place to go to and packed on weekends. Even with a reservation, the hostess overbooked and we were forced to wait about a half-hour. So just be prepared.
