A Classic Fika at Ahlströms Konditori

Located on Korsgatan, Ahlströms Konditori is Gothenburg’s oldest patisserie, serving cakes, sandwiches, and light lunches since 1901. The café offers a cozy indoor space and a charming patio for outdoor seating on nice days.

Known for its classic Swedish pastries, Ahlströms serves favorites like Princess Tårta, Semla, and their famous Cortina cake, made with pistachio marzipan, cream, and almond marzipan topping.

I ordered a chocolate truffle cake and rooibos tea. The cake had a rich chocolate flavor but was a bit dry and too sweet for my taste. The tea was smooth and comforting, balancing out the sweetness.

While the cake wasn’t my favorite, Ahlströms Konditori is a great place to experience Swedish fika. Next time, I’d love to try their Cortina cake or a classic Semla!
