Quiet and calm place. The owner is super kind. Coffee is perfectly decent. It's good place to read. But wifi doesn't work there, it didn't be a problem for me.

A charming and unpretentious café that reminds of an older time. The decor is... quaint, and the food is adequate. The man who runs the place is very friendly, and the prices are reasonable. A perfectly nice place for a quick bite.

Good coffee in a quite cozy café in the Davidshall area. The place is spacious which allows for privacy and the necessary distance in Covid times. Staff is friendly and efficient.

The place has a discrete facade and a very cozy, lovely inner space in which one can have a nice conversation during a meal. The food quality is good, with careful preparation. Good coffee as well. The gentleman who works there looked friendly and welcoming.

A charming cafe with amazing coffee and delicious sandwiches. I had a cafe latte and a croissant with coppa di parma (sliced meat), mozzarella cheese, lettuce, tomato, and a slice of honey due melon, with pesto sauce and olive oil. Wow, very yummy! Great sitting inside and out. The man serving us was extremely friendly. I highly recommend having a coffee and snake at Cafe Erik in Malmo, Sweden.
