Got the Frigg, the ligonberry cream cheese in the crepes was to die for. Everything was delicious and the service was fast.

One of the loveliest places to brunch in Andersonville, truly a treasure. I'm partial to the Freyja and the Odin. Get a side of meatballs or Swedish crepes. Never a long wait, if any wait at all, and once you sit down the staff take care of you. Bring friends, family, and loved ones. 💕

“Got to check out Svea with my friend and let me say it was great, so let me get into it.”

Got to check out Svea with my friend and let me say it was great, so let me get into it! The food was amazing every bite made me want to order another dish! And the freshness of the food was amazing. I have never had Swedish food and I honestly loved it very much. The service was great our waiter walked us through the menu and even gave us advice on what to order. He even talked to us about the history of Svea and Swedish people. And he made sure we were okay and if we needed anything. The atmosphere or ambiance like I call it, was great the decor and all the pictures and things on the wall made me feel about the culture! Overall, I will say give Svea a try if you want to try Swedish food and tastes amazing!

Super tasty! We dined at the counter because it was packed so we got to sit instantly. I had the falukorv sausage with eggs and potatoes. Delicious! The highlight is the crepe filled with lingonberry cream. So good!

“Solid traditional Swedish-American Diner.”

Solid traditional Swedish-American Diner. You are not from Chicago if you haven't had pancakes and sausage at Svea in Andersonville.

“For brunch this is the place to go.”

For brunch this is the place to go. The meats provided in the breakfast plates are amazing. They have a unique mustard that is really good on the sausages. Swedish pancakes are to die for. Best enjoy with Lingonberry jam. Service was super good. Just note weekends it does get crowded so plan your visit accordingly.

“Stopped in here on my way out of town and truly enjoyed it.”

Stopped in here on my way out of town and truly enjoyed it! We were greeted and sat quickly. Our server checked in on us regularly and the food came out fast. I had a veggie omelet and a coffee. The potatoes that came with the omelet were crispy and hot! The prices were fair and the location is in a quaint strip of shopping and food. I'd return.

Loved their meatballs and mash potatoes. Small, intimate, and cannot beat those prices.
