Valhallabageriet – Bakery in Stockholm 1 August, 2017 by Mette Von Schack Local bakery on Östemalm Valhallabageriet never disappoints me. The local bakery next to the lush greenery of Gärdet is the obvious stop on my morning walk. Here, I enjoy a freshly brewed cappuccino on-the-go and their amazing cardamom buns – one of the best in Stockholm according to me. Don’t miss out on the delicious sourdough bread, the whole family absolutely loves it! Photo taken from Valhallabageriet’s Facebook page.
