The food? Genuinely delicious. But the courtyard furniture? A game of chance we were wildly unprepared for.

We sat down expecting brunch — not slapstick. The table wobbled dramatically, then fully gave up and poured an entire cup of hot coffee into my husband’s lap. He handled it well (if you count startled yelping and furious napkin blotting as grace under pressure).

I, meanwhile, sat on a chair that greeted me with a protruding nail — which promptly tore my pants. Not quite the rustic charm I was hoping for.

To top it off, the staff looked completely bewildered by the chaos. Lovely, but utterly unprepared — like we’d asked them to solve a riddle in Ancient Greek instead of, say, help us find a dry seat and a new table.

We might return for the food… but next time we’re bringing a picnic rug, a first-aid kit, and lower expectations.

I absolutely love this place! It’s such a cute little spot with an impressive range of designer dresses, shoes, bags, and so much more. The selection is top-notch! The coffee is great, but what really sets them apart are their delicious pastries — you can enjoy them while shopping, which makes the whole experience even better. The perfect place to treat yourself to a little shopping and some tasty treats!

I popped into Min Butik & cafe recently, and I’m so glad I did! The coffee is amazing and the food is delicious too. The vibe is laid-back and cozy, perfect for catching up with friends or just chilling on your own.
The staff, including the owner, are super friendly and make you feel right at home. And if you’re into fashion, the second-hand designer shop is a must—amazing pieces at great prices! Honestly, this place has everything: great coffee, tasty food, a killer shopping spot, and some seriously awesome people. Definitely coming back!

The mushroom quiche was delicious, just what I needed on a cold winter morning.

Min Butik cafe is quirky, has a friendly staff, meals choice gastronomical and great coffee. Would highly recommend it to all who appreciate peaceful surroundings and a lovely quiet space for a friendly catch up.

The Swedish Cafe (Funkis Koket) used to be my favourite spot in the area, but recently the atmosphere has changed and it's no longer as pleasant to spend time here while enjoying their food and coffee. The new manager is friendly, and the food is still great - same old classics - but the coffee I've had recently was disappointing. The worst thing, however, has been the loud and intrusive music instead of the more relaxed ambience that used to be the perfect background to whatever else I was focusing on - whether that be a conversation or a book. Perhaps pop chart hits and weird cover/remix versions is the new clientele's taste, but for me it just kills the atmosphere here. Quite sad about this, and hopefully things return to the old ways.

Such a cute little intimate cafe, the garden is beautiful and the food always looks and tastes nice. Perfect spot to chill and read a book or to take some photos for instagram!
