Swedish & Middle Eastern street food, meatballs, gravlax, candy




























"Halfway across the globe, the husband-and-wife team of Roberth and Andrea Sundell have brought the flavors of their native Stockholm to their adopted hometown, Petaluma. This cheery, minimal spot plays all the hits: pickled herring, hearty meatballs and house-made sodas (try the subtly sweet sea buckthorn). Heavy Mid-Eastern and light California touches still manage to creep in, as seen in the skagen—a classic dill-shrimp salad that adds avocado to the mix, or farm-fresh berries atop giant pancakes. For the hardcore herring haters, the menu also flaunts tasty nods to Sweden’s Middle Eastern community by way of falafel, tabbouleh and a terrific beef-lamb pita wrap.Jars of black licorice and bulks of other Swedish candies are available for daily binging." - Michelin Inspector

"Stockhome serves contemporary Swedish street food, which is to say Turkish kebabs alongside meatballs and Swedish candies." - Dianne de Guzman, Clair Lorell, Paolo Bicchieri


"Approximate Drive Time: 1 hour Why it’s worth it: Quicker than a trip to Sweden, but with all the same amazing candy available by the pound. The focus of this fast-casual spot (from the team behind PLÄJ in SF) is the modern, Middle-Eastern food that’s all over the streets of Stockholm: kebabs, falafel, and yes, Swedish meatballs, which are actually Turkish in origin. The punnily named Stockhome does indeed stock lots of goods, including chic Nordic home items, to take with you, further justifying the trip." - Eater Staff


"The team behind Plaj in Hayes Valley earned recognition for Stockhome, described as a casual Petaluma cafe with Swedish dishes." - Ellen Fort

"Opening in Petaluma on August 1, I note that Stockhome is an adorably named Swedish counter-service spot from SF’s Plaj serving popular Stockholm street-food items like kebabs, bratwursts, and herring, plus a boatload of Swedish bulk candy." - Ellen Fort
