If Gothenburg has a cinnamon bun queen, she bakes at Café Husaren in Haga. Here you will find the famous Hagabullar – giant cinnamon buns that almost require both a knife and fork. The buns are as much a sight to behold as they are a treat, and it's hard to leave Gothenburg without trying one.
Brogyllen – Västra Hamngatan ☕️
Brogyllen is an institution in Gothenburg's café world. Their cinnamon buns are classic, just moist enough, and with just the right balance of butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Here you get a bun that tastes of tradition and craftsmanship, perfect with a cup of coffee in their grand premises.
Da Matteo – Magasinsgatan 🥐
Da Matteo focuses on sourdough baking and rustic flavors. Their cinnamon buns are a little more rustic, often with a generous pinch of cardamom. This is the place to go if you want to combine a really good coffee with a bun that feels both modern and authentic. There are several locations in the city, but Magasinsgatan is worth a visit in itself.
