Bageri Petrus

Simply...the best bakery in town. Enjoyed any single bit of it: incredible food quality, warm atmosphere, caring team. I strongly recommend the Kardemummabullar (cardamom buns), bread and butter with cheese, and the amazing filter coffee!

High quality pastry, the place to go for cinnamon buns if you’d like to try some really good ones when in Stockholm. Loved by locals, very busy on Saturdays but definitely worth the hype!

The kardemummabullar (cardamon roll) taste delicious! I recommend to but the big version ones (the one that can be divided to 7-8 pieces) as it tastes better and is cheaper per pieces than the single ones IMO :) But please be reminded to come early, as it tends to be sold out pretty soon. The bakery is located really close to Mariatorget t-bana station, just a few steps away. A must have when you visit Stockholm and want to taste Swedish cinnamon or cardamon buns! :)

I read a book about the bakery before visiting there and was happy to see the place in real life. I had quite high expectations and they were met - staff was very professional and they recommended what kind of coffee would go well with the things we bought. I tried pastel de nata and it was pure heaven on my mouth. My partner had a morning bulle, which was also tasty. The place was very busy but the staff served everyone still in a nice and chilled way. Would love to go back and try different kinds of cinnamon rolls. ❤

The bread here is to die for!! I loved the baguette and croissants we ate here. There isn't a ton of seating indoors, but even if your coming through just to grab some stuff to go you'll enjoy your experience here.

Excellent bakery in a charming area! I would recommend to go for a ritual Fika! I have tried the Cinnamon roll, was the best I had in Stockholm- at least to my taste!

Wandered into this place for breakfast this morning. Was not disappointed! Amazing kardamembulle and nice coffee too. Can’t pay with cash and no wifi, place is a bit small - but possibly the best bakery in all of Stockholm!

Cinnamon and cardamon buns absolutely delicious! A bit of a queue when we walked in and I’m not surprised. Highly recommend

My favorite bakery that we've had on our trip. Ok I forgot the name of one of the buns, but it was soft and buttery and so good! The cardamom buns were good too. Definitely not as sweet as some of the other places, which is why I liked it

I wish I had more time to try Petrus, but for a quick fika on a busy day exploring Stockholm, it more than exceeded expectations. I can't tell if the multitude of American reviews are because 1) Petrus has managed to attract tourists; 2) these particular Americans have taste; 3) Swedish people don't really use Yelp; or 4) some combination thereof. Needless to say, Petrus was recommended by some other friends who had previously visited Stockholm as the go-to for buns. It is well worth the trip. As many have noted, the storefront is small and tucked away off of a fairly high traffic pedestrian thorough fare. Given how many people are obsessed with staring into their phones, surely following google maps to the address won't be tough, but I've learned to lower my expectations of people over time. ANYWAY, I was pleased to stop into a coffee shop that wasn't Espresso House or Fabrique, the latter of which I'm lucky enough to enjoy at home. I was able to grab a seat by the door which gave an interior view (through a window) to their bakery which occupies the other space on the first floor of their building. Despite the baking appearing done for the day at that time, it was neat to see the machinery behind the delectable treats we were having. Coffee was straightforward and lacking in pretension, as you served yourself from the drip coffee thermos in the restaurant. As many have suggested, I'm sure the kanelbulle would have been as tasty as the kardamummabulle and "breakfast bun" (a slightly sweet combo of various nuts and seeds) I had. Everything was quick, pleasant, and tasty, just as a coffee shop / fika place should be; in a quiet, residential area which was relaxing; and a perfect beginning to get the day jump started.

We went here at the recommendation of "36 Hours in Stockholm." I ended up ordering one egg and caviar sandwich and one kardamummabullar. If either of these is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

Liked by some respected palates as Stockholm's best bakery it was for Breakfast on Monday that a visit was made to Bageri Petrus, the baker visibly rolling Dough at a front window and Croissants proofing behind him a good sign even before opening the door to a jolly "Hej Hej" from two young ladies at the counter. Located near the center of Södermalm and likened to the great bakeries of France despite Petrus' relatively young age, limited indoor and outside seating making it more a true Cafe than some of Sweden's Artisan Bageris, guests entering will soon have their vision saturated by items on racks and behind glass, several Swedish classics unavailable and instead replaced by loaves of Bread that rotate daily plus Brioche, housemade Jams and Croissants. Open weekdays at 07h00 and Saturday an hour later with Sundays offering a day of rest it was after waiting in a queue of locals en route to work that five items plus a cup of Coffee were selected, the decision to start with Petrus' Cardamom Bun a good one as it allowed a few bites of Butter and Spice to wash over the palate before setting the rest aside and "saving the best for last." Moving next to a Butter Croissant, undoubtedly the best amongst a limited sampling in Stockholm thanks to a crisp Shell around insides light and wispy, it was admittedly surprising that the Pain au Chocolat offered equally light layers despite a dense core still warm and slightly molten. No doubt benefitting by early arrival, the Morning Bun also warm but a little one dimensional thanks to so much Sugar, it was with expected tanginess that Brioche topped in Rhubarb Custard made lips pucker before the mouth adjusted, a return to the Kardemumma Bulle momentarily making one ponder sticking around to sip Coffee while enjoying another.

Swoon swoon swoon! Definitely add a fika break at Petrus to your Sweden to do list. This beautiful bakery is full of European charm and some of the tastiest pastries I've ever had. Order a couple coffees and a kanelbullar to cozy up with during the colder months or enjoy outside when it's warm outside. We were here during an unseasonably warm week and were able to hang out at the tables on the sidewalk out front. They only offer light roast coffee which I don't usually love, but it was actually perfect. Everything about this place was completely dreamy and special. Though I'm actually not sure which neighborhood Petrus is in, this is a good spot to check out if you're staying in either Gamla Stan or Hornstull and wanting to do some exploring between the two. It's less than a two mile walk from Gamla Stan to Horstull or vice versa--you could also take the train one way if you wanted to cut down on the walk time. There's a really beautiful park about a block away that would be perfect for picnics--the neighborhood itself is also super walkable and has some cool vintage shops. Their are a lot of "chain" feeling bakeries in Stockholm, especially in Gamla Stan, but this is not one of them. I'll be dreaming of you, Petrus!

Absolutely get the kardemummabullar (cardamom buns) here -- they're purportedly the best in the city, and at 20 SEK, you'll get a nice breakfast treat. I'd had cinnamon buns before, of course, but the cardamom flavor of these buns is unique, warm, and delicious. It's in a hipster-family neighborhood (think Park Slope) and there's a park nearby where you can sit, peoplewatch, and munch your delicious little swirl of Sweden. The interior of Bageri Petrus is also cute and cozy, with framed "prints" of parchment paper that's been used for baking. They do take credit cards and the line moves quickly, even on busy Saturday mornings.

I've had kanel & kardemummabullar from Stockholm's well-frequented spots, like Fabrique, and lesser known, like Saturnus, and Petrus takes the cake (or dare I say bread) everytime. If you are arriving from the south (i.e. arriving from Södra station), try to not get lured by Johan & Nyström's; go their for your caffeine fix at some later time, surely, but at the moment, direct all attention to Petrus. But try to not walk past it; because the café is what Swedes would refer to as "mysigt" (cozy), you could unknowingly walk past it and stride into Mariatorget. Upon entering, you will be tasked with placing an order from the all equally eye-catching buns. Reassuringly, know that you can do no wrong, but if it's your first time (and one of your first times having a fika), the Beginner's Guide to Fika (if there were one) would recommend a kanelbulle, or a cinnamon bun. It's sticky, it's doughy, it's sweet, and the cinnamon is all there, with a kick of cardamom. It's best complimented by a cup of tea, I think, because coffee might steal the spotlight from the flavor. For seasoned fika experts, a kardemummabulle will give you an even stronger kick of spice. The kanel and kardemumma "fikabrod" are like the buns, just made in a bigger quantity. The semlor (available from Jan-April) are also great, but know that they aren't the most conventional. They're a bit sweeter than normal, my hunch being that there's something in addition to the almond paste that's usually in the buns. Perhaps it's a little too sweet, but nothing that irritated me, or dare I say stopped me. Seating can be a bit tricky to find, but don't let that discourage you from coming here. Staff are always super friendly and kind. I wish I lived next door.

We came here at the recommendation of our server at another restaurant. What a phenomenal place! There was so much bread to stare at and drool over. We came during what I would call breakfast/ brunch time. We ordered sandwiches and refreshments, they were like lemonade mixtures made fresh. I was disappointed in the size of the drinks we got because they were so tiny! I chugged mine and it was gone, it did taste darn good though. We were very thirsty because it was a long hot walk to get us there. We then consumed the entire water pitcher at least twice, thank goodness it was left out for guests because it would have been a pain to ask each time. My sandwich was amazing!! I had what was basically a coarser with different fun colored tomatoes but it was nacho average capers sandwich. I'm still thinking about the taste weeks later. We also had some sweets and I'm pretty sure my husband left with a baguette to walk around with. A nice place to stop for Fika or lunch.

Great spot for a Fika break with a really cozy atmosphere and good eats! The kanelbulle here was fantastic and my favorite one that I tried while in Stockholm, and it was reasonably priced too. We got teas (though wish there was more hot water served with it) and also tried the cardamom buns, which were great but I liked less lan the cinnamon bun version. Could've had a second or a third easily and they were flakier and more pastry-dough like than others I've tried, can't go wrong!

Best fika spot you can find in all of Stockholm. You don't know what "fika" is? You are missing on some important Swedish culture information. Fika is a break to drink coffee or tea and eat something, but more than that is time to socialize, interact and talk to other people. Besides being a noun is also a verb and you should "fika" with yours friends, family, date or whatever. Kanelbulle (which is sort of a cinnamon roll) is yummy and fresh, and if you are into eating something savory don't worry they have nice freshly baked butter buns and other options. To drink you can opt between tea, coffee of some bottled juices. This is not their speciality, coffee here is only "ok", but it doesn't matter when you do have a bite of that delicious bulle. Staff is very nice and gentle. And I even had the chance to talk to the baker myself, who is a very friendly guy and gave us some free pastries. Good job Petrus, you are my favorite spot to have fika in Stockholm.

I usually don't get impressed by Swedish confectioneries, in my opinion their selection is usually quite dull, and frankly not so tasty. It is the classic Swedish cinnamon bun and perhaps a few other goods. You had one and you've had them all! So Petrus is a nice contrast! They have the cinnamon bun - a delicious version, but also several other well made Swedish confectioneries, sandwiches and breads, combined with French ones! A great selection that creates diversity. And everything is really well made! What I also like is that they know what they are good at, and seem proud enough to not try to take focus from it! You come here to enjoy confectioneries or sandwiches. If you want a cup of coffee or tea with it, you can enjoy a classic Swedish coffee (from a thermos!) or tea from teabag. No fancy drinks here! Which is brilliant as there are several spots nearby that try to claim the barista throne! Petrus is also a really cosy spot, with a traditional Scandinavian feel to the place. So if you happen to find an empty seat, grab it and enjoy the deliciousness accompanied with nice selection of jazz music. Only reason I don't give Petrus five stars is that I wish they had a wider selection.

Fika is my new favorite thing and this place doesn't disappoint! Came here based off of Yelp reviews and was impressed with the pastries and coffee. Super cute neighborhood and the place has people in line the entire time I was there!

I am very serious when it comes to cinnamon buns! Everytime im in Stockholm i will investigate ! All for the love of research of course. Buns here are very tastt & moist - makes sense as everything us fresh. Rest of pastries and bread look & smell great too However, they only have black coffee, mhm...

W-O-W... just wow. We were here for the day on a cruise port day. Yelp did not disappoint. We got two morning buns and ate them the next day cause we were so full from our visit to OmniPollo. They were AMAZING, even sitting overnight. definitely worth the visit!!

Great bakery. Ambience is comfortable yet cool. The staff were super friendly and happy to explain various items. The cinnamon bun was absolutely delicious. Their breads/loaves looked very good as well but I didn't try them out. It's small inside and they don't take cash.

If you're in town for only one day... eat here. Get a coffee and the very best cinnamon bun you'll ever eat in your life. Get an extra for later as I can assure you one will not be enough.

Great place for really good bread. Very cosy IF there's room to sit down (it's a small and usually pretty crowded place). They only have filter coffee (which is light roast), but it's very good coffee.

We went here for breakfast twice. If you are into compact chewy bread this is the place to be. They have very good European standard breads. Although selection is not too much. We had rye bread with ham and cheese. The sweets are good too. Having a cardamom swirl is a must. I would recommend this if you like a simple breakfast.

This place is extremly good, for real! Great quality great bageri. Make sure to visit.

The impressive thing about this bakery is that I think there's two or three other good bakeries nearby and yet this one looked so good I had to go here. Basic rundown: they have some good bread in that back display, some little pastries up front, and some sandwiches on the side. To drink: be a real Swede and get some (more) coffee or get one of their nice teas. All the pastries I tried were delicious and if we extrapolate, I'm pretty sure all their pastries are delicious. Brewed coffee (bryggcaffe) is good as always, and I'm a big fan of the cardamom buns (though most people like cinnamon buns more). If you're the type of person who actually reads a whole review for a bakery, then you clearly like bakeries and this one is great. You should go here.

Very good kardemembulle. I had several "bulle" (both the cinnamon and cardamom rolls) and these were the best. And strangely also the cheapest (only 20 kroner while other places charged almost twice as much). Cute little place for fika/snack. I didn't have anything else, but everything looked good and I plan on going back during my visit.

Wonderful bakery with both traditional swedis and french goods. High quality, and really delicious.
