On a recent trip to New York, I felt compelled to try out a couple Scandinavian bakeries that had been on my list to try. I mean, I love me some baked goods, and I’ve gotta get back to my roots somehow, right?! I’d been following Fabrique Bakery, in particular,  on social media for a while, and always drool at photos of their freshly baked cardamom buns and housemade sourdough bread. I hope to one day visit their Stockholm location, but since New York is much easier to come by these days, I jumped at the chance to check it out! Upon entering the cute café on 14th St, the warming smell of cardamom and cinnamon immediately flooded my senses. After deciding on Fabrique’s signature cardamom bun, the sweet lady behind the counter asked me if I was going to be eating it right away. When I said likely so, she asked if I had a couple minutes to spare because she thought a fresh batch was just coming out of the oven. Would I be interested in waiting a few minutes for a warm one? Umm yes, absolutely! How thoughtful!? I’m so glad I did, because I hardly made it out of the bakery before tearing into the bag, and devouring the bun in a few short minutes. The doughy cardamom goodness was all just too delicious. It took everything in me not to turn right back around to pick up another (plus a loaf of sourdough), but alas, I was in a hurry to head to the airport. Nonetheless, Fabrique will definitely be on my list of regulars whenever I’m back in the city.
