Broder Review

This delightful neighborhood cafe—one of the most unique brunch spots in town—serves up fresh and delicious Scandanavian food with fun-to-pronounce names like friterade applen (apple fritter) and aebleskivers (Danish pancakes). All of the food—the hashes, the baked egg scrambles, the Swedish breakfast bords—is exceedingly delicious and comes on tiny square plates and skillets, arranged simply and artfully on wooden boards with sauces and garnishes in separate bowls. On the lunch menu, the Stockholm hot dog, a beef frank wrapped in a potato pancake and flatbread, served with pickled onions and mustard, may change your life. Get the grilled shrimp add-on and the sauteed greens on the side. The Swedish meatballs and egg, shrimp, and chicken salads are also excellent midday choices. The light and narrow space, decorated with rustic modern furniture and accented with white tile and mirrors, has a laid-back and friendly vibe. Though you'll likely have to wait for a table at breakfast, the cafe serves complimentary coffee and borrows seating from neighboring Savoy, which opens later in the day.
