Monday morning. It's before 7 am and hardly awake, running towards the tube to avoid being late, to avoid starting off the week completely crap. I don't know about you guys but I never have time to have breakfast at home. I'm just way too tired! I would much rather sleep an extra 10 minutes than eat something in the morning. Of course I miss the tube and the frustration is complete. Monday. It's raining. I'm going to be late for work. Then I remember something that used to be a part of my morning routine before I got this new job where everyone thinks it's normal to start work at 6.30 am; Lilla Bagis opens at 7 am! My morning is saved!! Lilla Bagis is a local cafe and bakery in Bagarmossen, Stockholm serve everything from home made sour dough bread to gorgeous cakes and pastries. The cafe has a lovey living room feel to it, with small tables and a constant smell of fresh brewed coffee and newly baked bread. The staff are friendly and offer a smile, something which is unfortunately too rare in this cold climate. I missed the tube that Monday morning but I gained one of their delicious sour dough buns with cheese and greens, as well as a large cup of beautiful, strong, black coffee. Oh and the smile.
If you're anything like me on a Monday morning, when you can hardly tell your ass from your face, and you just know that anyone who talks to you before your first cup of coffee will wish they never did, you'll be glad to miss the tube once in a while so that you can have a proper breakfast at Lilla Bagis - Svartågatan 4A, open Monday to Friday 7 am to 5 pm and Saturdays at 9 am to 5 pm.
Lilla Bagis is worth missing the tube for, even to go out of your way to get to every once in a while. Give it a try!
