share with lesser fortunate

IMG_9030

This is by no means a latte and carrot cake that will end up on a my top ten latte-with-carrot-cake-list - if I had one, which I actually don't - it leaves a whole lot more to be desired as far as savoury quality goes. That said, the place that served it does have its definite pros;

:~ the café, bakery, catering, lunch restaurant is run by Stadsmissionen (the City Mission), so by having a coffee and cake, lunch or bread there you contribute in a small or large way to a better life for those lesser fortunate.

:~ the business is run and situated in a beautiful old building, Grillska, smack middle of Gamla Sta'n (the Old Town) where the outdoor seating area on the inner court yard roof - steep stairs to get there - is such a charmingly tucked away place to enjoy - chose wisely and not latte (the machine and not hand made kind) or carrot cake (apart from the perfect blueberry on top too sweet and dry) - something light to eat in good company. Or for that matter, on your own with a good read.

:~ the buildings and the roof tops surrounding the outdoors eating area are just lovely, there are church towers and there are church bells, birds and a whole lot of blue skies if you're lucky. If you're even luckier it's quite peaceful since not a lot of people seem to have found their way up there. So, shh, you can keep a secret, can't you?

:~ Remember to share he food with those small, rather intrusive feathery ones, the also deserve a bit of sharing. And they somehow didn't seem to care that the carrot cake was both dry and too sweet...
