Utö Bakgård

Stockholm Archipelago


In a red-timber cottage just up from the harbour, this adorable bakery serves a smashing cardamom bulle (bun) that is one of the best in Sweden. Sweet, sticky bliss aside, it also serves filling sandwiches (perfect if you're on the go), fruit smoothies and hot meals. If the weather is on your side, sit at the bucolic outdoor tables.
