Swede Hollow Cafe

Crema's Take
“Nestled in a charming converted house with multiple levels of cozy seating and a lovely outdoor patio, Swede Hollow Cafe feels like a beloved neighborhood secret where espresso drinks and buttery cinnamon rolls are taken seriously. This family-friendly spot strikes the perfect balance between a focused, quality-driven coffee program and a full breakfast and lunch menu, making it equally welcoming whether you're lingering over a single pour-over or grabbing a breakfast sandwich between meetings.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
