What a great experience. Owner is a pleasure to meet & serve. We had salmon & zucchini linguine. Both wonderful!!

Great place! I took a grilled croissant and overnight oats for breakfast. Was yummy! Wish portions were bigger and latte less bitterish. Otherwise the atmosphere was lovely!

Unfortunately a failure. OK for a short visit for coffee and pastry. A brunch menu is on the website, but this is offered only at weekends. This was not written on the internet. Too bad. There is no drinks menu. The waitress said that she was the menu and that we should just tell what we wanted to drink and she would answer if it was available. Water glasses look nice but all have broken edges. Tuna Melt absolutely overpriced and over-seasoned. Stylish café to fight hunger ok, but not a gastronomic experience. Dont order lunch.

Great little restaurant renowned for its kanelbulle. Had the best chevre & beetroot salad I've taste. High class & friendly service, a top notch restaurant

We have recently visited the café. I have never made a negative comment to any place but.. It was one of the most overpriced coffees in Stockholm. Cappuccino costs 70 sek and they charge the lactose free milk, 12 sek per coffee. So in total 82 sek when the average price anywhere else is maximum 60 sek. I have never experienced charging of lactose free milk anywhere in Sweden. And you can imagine that the whole bottle of lactose free milk costs max. 30 sek at the supermarkets. When we got the coffees and we tried, the charged lactose free milk was NOT even lactose free, it was regular milk. When we asked if they charged sth extra than 2 cappuccino (164 sek), the feedback was "it is what it is". Very dissatisfied from the total experience.

Super chic place! Loved the ambience inside. Was buzzing with people. Super brunch place on a Sunday. Even if it is dark outside, you will feel lively inside. Food was great too. Loved the overall vibe

Tried a few of the sandwiches now and all excellent. The cakes are so full and creamy. Massive teas to go with it. The jul tea was tasty too! Yet to try the infamous huge kanelbulle but I have to say I think they look too big and I've never seen anyone finish one.

The service, coffee, atmosphere (inside and outside), and the fika are stellar. The gentlemen that helped us was also very kind. This is on a side street that is not very busy which was great. I'd encourage anyone to try this place out.

Loved coming to this cafe for fika. There's a great variety of baked goods (including some of the highest cinnamon and cardamom buns I've seen), salads, sandwiches, all that looked delicious, with the freshest colorful ingredients. It has a French cafe theme, the people who work there are extremely friendly. The girl who took my order brought my coffee out to me. Outdoor seating is a must if the weather permits, I got lucky with this perfect crisp morning breeze. People walk by or dine outside with their tiny dogs, (of course it's a posh area, being Stockholm and all). The coffee is so strong! And delicious. I spent around $12 for a coffee and the cardamom bun. A bit pricey but the quality definitely matches up. Location wise, there's a park right up the street and very central to the main areas of where you'd want to explore and walk around. Interior has some two top tables, as well as other group tables. Glad I got to spend my last morning in Stockholm here.

Just another cafe. Totally overhyped especially their famous oversized cinnamon roll. First of all, the service was great ... Plus free wifi! Second, the roll itself was too big and thus it is still super doughy and wet inside. We did not finish the roll not because of the size but rather because of the texture of the inner part. The table next to us also ate just the crispy outside and left with a huge chunk of dough on the plate. In short, dont get this oversized cinnamon (50 sek a piece and not worth it) Other things might be delicious but I am not too sure because I didnt to try anything else. The tarts seem a bit expensive at 70 sek a piece

Came here at the suggestion from a friend who had been to Stockholm a few years earlier. She said that the kardemummabullar here were enormous and boy, was she not joking. They had other humongous rolls on display and it was super busy when I had gone in. The place is cute, albeit a bit cramped. Service was okay. As for the kardemummabullar itself? It was too doughy for me, particularly the inside. I tried to eat as much as I could, but it was too damn big for me. The place seems to be quite popular, but if you're trying to seek out good kardemummabullar, I'd suggest going somewhere else. Their other offerings looked pretty good, for what it's worth.

Tucked away from the otherwised so buzzed up Östermalm in Stockholm you'll find this french brasserie (owned by a greek family). Our native friend brought us here on a Saturday morning after she'd spoken of their cinnamon buns. We decided to have our breakfast here and there were enough space for us indoor to sit cause of the early hour and it was still too cold to sit outside in their cute outdoor area. The guy who helped us was very friendly and not didn't have the, way too often, snotty Stockholmish attitude. We ordered Croque Madame which was a slice of sourdough bread with smoked ham, a fried egg and cheese-delicious. The accompanied salad was a little too boring and the plate could have contained just a little more regarding its price-125 skr. With the Croque we tried the mango and blueberry smoothies-the mango one was definately totally awesome.. And last...the winner!!!! (If it had the chance to enroll in YELPS cinnamon bun contest) the spoken cinnamon bun met everyones expectations..the filling with almond paste was genious and so delicious-I do so very much recommend this bun and truly a visit at Café Saturnus! But be prepared-3 croques-3 smoothies and 1 bun -approx. 600 skr!

Amazing! Worth all 5 stars. This is a kind of place I have been looking for for years! We went here for a Saturday Fika and was very impressed. There is a great atmosphere, the staff are amazing and friendly and the interior is classic french. This is quite a small place that is packed, and although it is quite loud with people speaking, it has a nice atmosphere to sit and just take a coffee or do some work on your laptop. The staff were just excellent. Really friendly and funny, If I had to be picky and find something to complain about, they did not give any napkins and did take our coffee away when my girlfriend went to the toilet. Otherwise, they set the bar for customer service. The kanelbullar are GIANT! Great for sharing, maybe a bit much for one person. And the coffee is perfect. I am tired of the burnt, over boiled coffee from the high street chains. Café Saturnus has the perfect coffee that tastes great and is just what you need for a classic Fika (with a french twist - great interior, cosy feeling and a very Parisian vibe). Overall, Café Saturnus is now my favourite coffee shop in Stockholm!

Reviews weren't kidding when people said the kanelbulle (cinnamon roll) was huge. It doesn't look huge, but when you eat it, wow! It's really too big. Anyway, it was quite good; the outer edges were a bit crispy and the inside was chewy. There's a lot of cinnamon inside the bun and sugar droplets on top. At 50 SEK per roll, it's a bit pricey, but I guess it's twice as big as usual kanelbulles!

Right down the street from me in the Ostermalm neighborhood, this quaint, French brasserie like bistro serves up a killer brunch on weekends with freshly-baked patisseries and desserts, homemade omelettes, and other simple brasserie-like faire. The atmosphere is fantastic. Totally a place to bring a book and read in the late afternoon. The service is excellent (you order at the counter, then someone comes around serving on you and getting you water and coffee and juice). The place gets packed in the morning, but since it's hidden it's still less packed that Café Nero just up the street. Also good for a hangover after a ballin' Friday night. :)

Tasty yet not what we were expecting when it was recommended we come here for a cinnamon bun. If you're thinking of an American cinnamon roll this is not it. Where's the gooey glaze??? Plus it's cold. More like a sweet pretzel yet not quite as dense. Cute cafe though.

Johan S.

Yelp

This café owned by the lovely couple Christina and Christos functions more like a daytime bistro. During the weekend you find an american/french inspired brunch on the menu. Saturnus have been famous since the start by serving huge cinnamon buns. Lunches are delicious and prices are on an evening-a-la-carte level and sometimes enjoyed in the company of the members from the royal family who also visits Saturnus for lunch or coffee sometimes.

Adam L.

Yelp

My favorite local place! Christos runs a GREAT restaurant & coffeehouse! Very inventive menu, & the Eggs Benedict is insanely good! Freshly baked cakes & pies ensures that everyone is happy. Go for brunch, but get there early! Its very popular.

Delaney D.

Yelp

It's just too good. Must be one of the best cafes in Sthlm and by the look of the crowds at lunch and on weekends, it is. If you're in the market to find the biggest and best kanelbulle around, look no further. The way to go seems to be sandwiches, omelets or salad. Had the fish soup and it was so so. But overall fantastic.

Both cinnamon bun and cardamom bun were great, nothing to compare with. Cappuccino was great, just little bit cold. I give 5 stars.

Was recommended by friends and can verify that it makes a great coffee and the freshest bread for your sandwiches. Service is quick and friendly. We even got a list of places to go for dinner, being visitors to Sweden. The sandwiches are big enough for 2, and very tasty.

Bernell R.

We are here visiting from the United States, and this is by far the best cafe we've been to in all of Northern Europe. The service is outstanding. The staff are polite and welcoming. The food is delicious! My favorite was the granola with yogurt and honey. The chefs use delicate detail in food presentation. We visited every morning for breakfast during our stay in Stockholm. We will be telling others about this lovely cafe.

Darren M.

Yelp

Gotta be one of my favorites. Whether it's for a hot tea or cafe with the biggest cinnamon buns in town...or a great lunch with some of the best food I have had in such a quaint, informal, welcoming cafe scene...you will not go wrong here. It's small to space can be a challenge a times, but just get there early or go during off hours for what will prove to be a great experience for both locals and tourists. Try the Reuben sandwich, club sandwich, breakfast burrito, and more. Your stomach will thank you.

I have been to this place a few times now. Café Saturnus is known for its enormous kanelbullar (cinnamon buns), which I recommend. A year ago, their coffee menu was very limited. Now you can order most drinks you would expect at a café. The interior design is nice and if the weather permits, you can enjoy your coffee outside. The coffee is overpriced, but this is customary in Stockholm. They start their cleaning an hour and a half before closing time. This means that they may not let you sit inside, which is odd. I ordered a cappuccino which I was not happy with, and to my surprise they came to my table a bit later and gave me another one. This concern for the customer's satisfaction is unusual in Sweden.

Nils K.

Yelp

It's quite crowded and everything is a bit too expensive. You might not get the best cinnamon buns in town but at least the biggest. But anyway, the place seems to turn into a tourist attraction.

OMG THE SIZE OF THOSE CINNAMON BUNS! They are huge. Everything is homade an tasty. The baguette s are har work and have such a hard crust you will have no more skin left on the roof of your mouth. Stick with the buns, they are twice the size of a normal bun. hot drinks are served in big bowls!
