Celebrate Waffle Day on March 25

 

March 25 is Waffle Day ("Våffledagen" in Swedish)

Apparently, this holiday was originally called "Our Lady's Day" or "Vårfrudagen" in Swedish. Then it became slurred and changed to "Våffledagen". It became the day that just about every Swede takes out his/her waffle iron and celebrates "the day of the waffle". Waffles are either topped with sweet (chocolate, nutella, syrup or jam) or savory (cream cheese and salmon) toppings. The waffles come in various shapes, from heart shaped waffle or rectangular to thin round or clover-shaped waffles.

Where to go if you're in Gothenburg for Waffle Day? 

Våffelcafé Soldattorpet

There is a cozy little cafe called "The Waffle Cafe" (Våffelcafé Soldattorpet) at the top of Skansberget. It's right next to the Skansen Kronan (see my past blog). They offer hot coffee and fresh homemade waffles. You can eat there or take it with you as your explore the grounds around Skansen Kronan or check out the views!

Waffles 

Another good waffle place is a small cafe at Vasaplatsen called "Waffles". They offer various toppings from Chocolate and fruits to even a scoop or two of ice cream on your waffles! Smells delicious everytime you walk by. Only indoor seating is available but you can always take your waffles with you and sit on a bench nearby.

Mmmm Nutella!!

Egg & Milk

The American style diner, "Egg & Milk", serves delicious breakfast/lunch options with a few Vegan options too. They offer North American-style pancakes and  Do-it-Yourself waffles! There is a covered, outdoor seating area infront of the restaurant. This place is very kid-friendly with high chairs available for little ones to use inside or outside. Note: During the Pandemic, you need to wait outside until it's your turn to order. 

Egg and Milk Waffles Do-it-Yourself Waffles! They also offer it Vegan!

Whether you enjoy a waffle from the comfort of your home, eat outdoors at a cafe, or just get a take away, enjoy your waffle today! Many cafes all over the city offer waffles and they make a great snack. :) Happy Waffle Day! And remember, don't forget your snacks!
