If you find yourself strolling down Södra Förstadsgatan in Malmö, a stop at Gateau Södra Förstadsgatan is a must. This charming café is a true gem that beautifully melds the essence of Swedish fika culture with a delightful bakery experience. With its inviting ambiance and a menu that features a tantalizing assortment of pastries and coffees, it’s an ideal spot for both a quick coffee break and a leisurely afternoon treat.

Upon entering, you might be taken aback by its modest exterior, but the moment you step inside, the spacious interior welcomes you with warmth.

Loved the amazing Kopenhamnare, Mazarin apple & Coffee. You're mouth will be left watering & hoping you ordered take away. We just had to go back to get more desserts & take them on our road trip. Lovely and friendly staff help us choose the best desserts. Read more at Raif & Vy Travel Blog.

It looks small but this branch is actually spacious. They have outdoor and indoor seating areas (with 2nd floor). Nice and warm staff. I visited during Kanelbullens dag.

Loved it! They had a few vegan options including saffron pastry and a cardamom pastry. I had the saffron and it was devine! We also had almond milk flat whites and it was awesome smooth yet strong coffee. Beautiful upstairs area with views and some comfy padded chairs.

Gateau quality is often better than other coffee chains. Apply higher quality fika, central placing, a beautiful local (maybe an old apartment?) and you will get this gem. Doesn't look much from the street but climbing the tiny staircase will be rewarding. With a modern and fresh decor, it was attracting a lot of young people when I was here. A few soft/cozy places to sit, but mostly hard chairs.

I was positively surprised at how nice and spacious the upstairs seating area was, and the café latte + cinnamon roll I had were absolutely divine! They also have free wifi, which for me is a huge plus. As with most Swedish cafés there unfortunately isn’t any table service, so you get your order at the till and are expected to clean up after yourself. Also, be aware that this is once again a cash-free place!
