Customer Reviews
Honestly the best crepe I’ve ever eaten. It might be slightly small in portion, but the lingonberry cream cheese is amazing. Swedish meatballs are good too. The atmosphere is also very small and diner-like.
This place was “okay” at best. The place is cash only (I get that credit card processing fees are a thing), so I have to either go to my own banks ATM or use theirs and pay an extra $8 on top of ATM fees between my bank and their ATM. I’d rather just pay a 3% credit card fee on the bill. They’re still charging extra for eggs even though the price of eggs have gone down since their peak. The food wasn’t anything special. I had the sandwich special and thought it wasn’t worth going out for.
Got to check out Svea with my friend and let me say it was great, so let me get into it! The food was amazing every bite made me want to order another dish! And the freshness of the food was amazing. I have never had Swedish food and I honestly loved it very much. The service was great our waiter walked us through the menu and even gave us advice on what to order. He even talked to us about the history of Svea and Swedish people. And he made sure we were okay and if we needed anything. The atmosphere or ambiance like I call it, was great the decor and all the pictures and things on the wall made me feel about the culture! Overall, I will say give Svea a try if you want to try Swedish food and tastes amazing!
Delicious breakfast and lunch options with a Swedish twist. Loved the Swedish pancakes with lingonberry. Very nice staff and the decor is charming and rustic. Makes a nice change.
For brunch this is the place to go. The meats provided in the breakfast plates are amazing. They have a unique mustard that is really good on the sausages. Swedish pancakes are to die for. Best enjoy with Lingonberry jam. Service was super good. Just note weekends it does get crowded so plan your visit accordingly.
