"Pretty and traditional"

A semla with a heavily dusted triangular lid. Under the lid is a a swirl of cream that has been piped in two layers with lots of definition. Light coloured almond paste filling can be seen under the cream and along with the bun has also received a dusting of icing sugar. The semla is sat on a white round plate and is being held up in front of a window and has been photographed in natural light.

Weight 214 g Size extra large Price 59 kr

Lovely friendly service at Lundbergs in a traditional location, established in 1946 as the blue text on the white cardboard box reminds us. The pâtisserie also still has the classic neon sign above the store front.

The semlor has a triangular lid and a wonderful large swirl of cream piped in two layers that looks excellent, especially from above.

The large was 214g. 9cm tall. 9.5cm wide and 59kr. There's a small available for 49kr, and they do semlor for 45kr on Mondays.

The cream is nicely stabilised and has held its shape completely, with no sign of weeping at all even after the 2 hours from when I purchased it to when I ate it.

The lid has a complete covering of icing sugar, a step up from just a dusting.

Paste, cream and bun are reached on the first bite. The cream is plentiful and flavoursome. The bun is soft and fresh. I can see the cardamom in the bun, but the taste is not coming through so strongly. It's the paste and cream that dominate.

The filling is traditional with a strong almond flavour. What I initially thought was a piece of almond was actually a sizable lump of almond paste. There were quite a few lumps, a result of the filling not being mixed thoroughly enough. Mixed in too were some almond slivers. It's a sweet filling with a strong almond taste, and overall the flavour balance of the semla between almond paste, cream and cardamom could be improved.

And, generally, you know you've eaten a 200-plus gram selma by the time you've reached the end! 😅.

Pretty and traditional, just like Lindbergs itself in Gröndal.

Gallery

A view of the outside of Lundbergs Konditori. Above the store front there is a classic neon sign. Lundbergs is styled as handwriting and konditori is in capital letters. The building is a single story. There is a light dusting of snow on the ground. In front of the bakery windows are two wooden benches, one to the left of the door and one to the right. On the front edge of the canopies above the windows, which are not extended, it says bageri and konditori.

A Lundbergs pastry box. It's a rectangular white cardboard box with blue print. On the lid Lundbergs Konditori is printed in the same style as the neon sign on the roof of the store. On the front the text says Lundbergs konditori and (translated from Swedish) craft and tradition since 1946.

Two trays of semlor behind the glass counter. The left tray has 5 large semlor and a sign saying Semla 59kr. The right tray has 4 semlor and a sign saying small semla 59kr.

A view of the semla from above. There is a triangular lid that has been heavily dusted with icing sugar. The icing on the very top of the lid has been smudged where it has touched the top of the inside of the lid of the box it was transported in. Under the lid an excellently piped swirl of cream can be seen. The semla sits on a white round plate on a table surface with a grey table-cloth.

A view of the inside of a semla. The almond paste filling is lightly coloured. Some slithers of almond can be seen mixed amongst it. The cream is plentiful and is about half of the height of the bun.

A finger with almond paste on it is held up towards the camera. In the background the semla can be seen. The paste on the fingertip is lightly colour and some lumps can be seen although the lumps are the same colour as the rest of the paste.
