I First visited the Nordic Bakery just after it had opened which must have been in 2007. When walking past I was immediately drawn to this Scandinavian-style café. Not just by the name, its immaculate design or the smell of the now well known cinnamon buns.
The interior is simple and plain, like the food. It all feels very sincere, like the employees.
Real Scandinavian food, with quality ingredients.
And when you come to think that the Swedes have a true tradition of Fika, and the Nordic people in general drink the largest number of coffee you will understand that the coffee served is of that quality that you do want to wait for and sit down quietly and enjoy.
The café design is done by Bert Rozeman, a very friendly Dutchman working in London; and is made up with furniture pieces of Alvar Aalto an Ilmari Tapiovaara amongst others.
And then, for some really good news: A cookbook was just published so that you can continue eating these wonderful foods after the Bakery itself has closed its doors for the day.
