On the gorgeous picturesque island of Djurgarden is this sweet cafe! I only discovered Bla Porten as I saw these dark iron gates which were framing a contrasting lush green area!

At first I wasn’t sure if it was private property. It looked like a beautiful secret garden! Once I realised that it was a cafe, I entered the gates and was welcomed by a beautiful garden, with lots of outdoor seats!

Inside Bla Porten Cafe, there was a huge wooden table, filled with so many cakes, pastries, fruits and sandwiches. It was all displayed so nicely and it felt like I was in cake heaven! The only thing that I would have changed was that I would have had all the food covered, as I’m not a fan of open food displays.

So, seen as it was time for an afternoon tea break, I had a cup of Earl Grey tea. Bla Porten used fresh tea leaves which they then put into a tea bag! I was told that I could help myself to the hot water and milk, which was by the entrance of the cafe.
