Hidden near Stockholm’s inner city, Malvas Glutenfria Hantverksbageri is more than a bakery—it’s a safe haven for celiacs and gluten-free food lovers. Reviewers are unanimous: whether it’s their soft sourdough bread or cloud-like cardamom buns, this is “the best gluten-free bread ever tasted.”

The bakery’s unpretentious charm wins hearts. Wooden counters lined with freshly baked loaves and pastries welcome you, while the scent of cinnamon, vanilla, and butter makes the space feel like home. “The world’s coziest little bakery,” says one guest, and it’s easy to see why.

Owned by Malva and her family, this artisan bakery began as a personal journey to reimagine gluten-free baking. The highlight is the buns: cardamom, vanilla, and apple custard varieties are baked to perfection—fluffy inside, lightly spiced, and glazed for a touch of sweetness. The sourdough bread, airy yet rich, is another crowd favorite, as are seasonal specialties like semlor. Guests praise the bakery’s ability to achieve gluten-free textures that rival traditional options.

Though overwhelmingly praised, a few visitors note that the bakery’s limited opening days (Thursday to Saturday) can be a letdown.

While larger chains like Espresso House, Brod Och Salt and Wayne’s Coffee cater to gluten-free diets in a limited manner, Malvas outshines them with unmatched quality and dedication to artisan baking.
