To me, breakfast is a reward to myself for waking up early. The air is fresh, the streets are quite. I barely understand what's going on. But as soon as I have breakfast, I'm happily awake . Suddenly it all makes sense.
Moving from NY to Stockholm is not easy, especially if you are a breakfast geek. From creamy scramble eggs to veggie burritos and muffins and bagels, NY is breakfast heaven.
Sweden might well be a fabian utopia, but as far as breakfasts go.. it could be better..
Still, sometimes before going for work, I stop over at 'barista', a cafe located at Victoria, Stockholm's best independent film movie theater.
Every morning they serve granola and yoghurt, cheese sandwiches and smooth fair trade coffee. The place is also open till later, so you can grab some coffee and go watch a good film.
And what can be better than coffee and a good movie? Breakfast in New York, of course.

I read somewhere that Stockholm had a record number of visitors this season. That's definitely good news for the local economy, and that makes me very happy.
What doesn't make me very happy is that summer is coming to an end. No more flip flops and shorts. No more sitting under the sun for hours doing nothing. It's time to get back indoors. Time for umbrellas and scarves. Time to hibernate. And what better to place to do so than a nice coffee shop, with good music and an always interesting crowd?
What better place than Louie Louie? This cafe has become a classic in the area. From affordable breakfasts to popular afternoon coffee there's always something decent to eat.
Oh, and there's a nice outdoors sitting area, just in case it's sunny.
It's not winter yet, you see...
