Welcome to Kvarnen café och antikt, a charming gem nestled in the heart of Gard, Sweden. This quaint café is not only a delightful spot for coffee and pastries, but it also features a small antiques shop that adds a unique flair to your visit. Set against a backdrop of an old farm, Kvarnen invites you to step into a world of rustic charm and homey warmth.

The atmosphere is undeniably inviting, with seating options both indoors in the cozy mill and outdoors in a beautiful garden that feels like a scene plucked straight from a Beatrix Potter storybook. Imagine sipping your drink by a tranquil pond surrounded by flourishing greenery as the sun casts a golden glow over the surroundings. You can lose track of time here, basking in the peaceful ambiance.

The menu at Kvarnen is a testament to the love and care that goes into every dish. Indulge in their renowned lemon cheesecake and apple pie, each bite brimming with flavor and a touch of homemade goodness. The owner is dedicated to using flour milled right on the premises— a detail that’s not just a novelty, but an essential element in crafting their mouthwatering pastries. Customers rave about how every item on the menu, from delightful pastries to hearty sandwiches, is meticulously prepared with high-quality ingredients.

According to customer Marco Pelkman, the café is run by wonderfully friendly people who go above and beyond to make your experience pleasant. He fondly recalls enjoying a slice of the brilliant lemon cheesecake and fresh apple pie paired with tea and lemonade. The owner’s open-mindedness to accept payment in euros, rather than Swedish crowns, adds a thoughtful touch to the service.

Another visitor, R Mac, declares it an "amazing gem," praising the café’s enchanting aura and handcrafted delicacies. The flour milled on-site, paired with local ingredients, ensures unbeatable freshness in every bite, while the garden seating offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

Very nice café, run by very nice People. Had some brilliant lemon cheesecake and Apple pie, tea and lemonade... And as we normaliter pay everything by card the lovely owner helped us allowing us to pay in euro's instead of swedish crowns as we didn't have cash... Only bad thing is she likes Depeche Mode, but the ambiance makes me forgive her....

Amazing gem, charming little coffee, cakes and pie cafe. On an old farm. All the flour used in the dessert is milled In the same building, the wheat grow is also grown there. The owner mills the flour and makes the pastrys. The out door seating is like sitting in a Beatrix Potter book. I loved this place. If I could give it ten stars I would.

Very nice location, cafe and small antiques shop (not Swedish antiques though, seemed to be mainly Englusg ones, fun!). The pastry, sandwiches etc were some of the best we've had and decent prices as well. The seating is either outside in the garden, close to the pond, or inside the old mill. Very cozy! Don't miss this pkace!
