About Café Husaren

Café Husaren - Haga Nygata 28 | Secret World Trip Planner

Café Husaren is one of Gothenburg's most well-loved cafes.This cafe is the home to the giant cinnamon bun and is located in the main old street of Gothenburg! It’s a super cosy cafe with outdoor seating and delicious coffee! In the past, the building that currently houses Café Husaren has served as a pharmacy, a hat shop and a bank. Yet the location’s most famous achievement is the invention of the 'kanelbullar', or so the café claims. Not much is known about the exact origin of this sweet roll, but that doesn’t diminish its delicious flavour. This Swedish delicacy with cinnamon has become such a mainstay that the Hembakningsrådet (Commission for Home-baking) has named its Jubilee day after the treat: since 1999, 4 October has been known as ’Kanelbullens Day’. So to taste this sweet treat in an original 19th-century setting, visit this popular café and don’t forget to admire the beautiful glass ceiling.
