Best Kanelbullar in Stockholm

Kanelbullar are the aromatic centerpiece of the Swedish **Fika** tradition. Unlike American rolls, they are twisted into intricate shapes, spiced with cardamom, and topped with **Pärlsocker** (pearl sugar) rather than icing. The defining characteristic is the **'Spiced Dough'**—scent of cinnamon and cardamom should be prominent. Expect to pay 35–55 SEK.
