Esters cafe

88

Ester began baking in this roadside cottage around 1930, halfway between Karlstad and the Norwegian border. Still today, the pastry selection rewards the stop: lemon-lime pie, chocolate-caramel tart, handmade truffles, and more. Traffic hums along the E18, but the back garden feels far removed.
