Cinnamon buns in Stockholm

In Swedish a cinnamon bun is a kanelbulle and a cardamom bun a kardemummabulle, and the list counts both. Sweden has kept Kanelbullens dag, cinnamon bun day, on 4 October since 1999. Tasting Table picks the kardemummabulle with vanilla cream at Bergstrands, and Thatsup the giant kanelbulle at Café Saturnus.

MR Cake, Fabrique, Café Pascal, Komet and Svedjan have more than one shop. The address shown is the first shop or the one the guides name, so check the hours of the one you plan to visit. Fabrique started in Stockholm in 2008 and is also number one for cinnamon buns in London. For the Danish kind, see the top 10 cinnamon buns in Copenhagen.
