Why This Swedish Cardamom Bun Is Taking New York City By Storm | Line Around The Block

Fabrique, one of Sweden's most popular bakeries, debuted a New York City outpost this past summer, and New Yorkers have been lining up to try its cardamom bun. While cardamom is a spice commonly used in Swedish baking, it's relatively uncommon for purveyors of sweet treats in the US. We went to Fabrique's Meatpacking District home, watched them bake the crispy, luscious cardamom bun, and tried to understand if the bun is worth the hype.

Why This Swedish Cardamom Bun Is Taking New York City By Storm | Line Around The Block

As a swede, it feels pretty weird that they refer to this café chain as being as iconic as beyoncé to swedes when in reality most of us haven’t heard of it lmao

[Yellowdaydreams]

Love how they all describe it as the most unique thing theyve ever tasted. Every swede thinks these r like the most basic bun you can eat

[justbovel]

As a Swedish food- and baked goods lover, I'd never heard about Fabrique before this video and googling the word doesn't even put the café/bakery in the top 5 results, so kind of overselling the hype. But the love for cardamom buns in various forms cannot be overstated!

I'm Swedish and have never heard of Fabrique. Cardamom on the other hand is always in my buns, lots of Cardamom, butter, cinnamon and way to much sugar.

"They say if you ask a swede if they know what Fabrique is, they'll ask you if you know who Beyoncé is".
Me, a swede: WTF is Fabrique??
I googled it and found something in Stockholm. Like seriously, does anyone outside of Stockholm know what Fabrique is?

[jessicacharlesson]

I like how they think Sweden is only Stockholm. Like that company has 19 shops in Sweden, all in Stockholm. I’ve never even heard of it

[SunsetSyndrome]

I’m from Stockholm and sure, i know what fabrique is and their stuff is good but let’s get one thing straight - they are not the bakery equivalent to Beyoncé.

[zoala]

They should also eat Semla. They would go crazy for that as well

[Jkuc]

I'm a Swede, never even heard of this company.

[Sonjawkwilsson]

Cinnamon buns are swedish and icing does not belong on them😇😇

[fridanordh]

Im a swede and i’ve never heard of fabrique

[ShehnazKhan]

“Where in New York can you get a fresh baked bun?” Ummm, I don’t know.... the hundreds of bakeries that sell fresh baked goods every day?

[anttikalpio]

Best memory from my childhood in Finland: Coming home from school and the whole house smelling like cardamom and cinnamon buns. My mom’s fresh hot cardamom buns with a cold glass of milk is like going to paradise.

The swedes are the masters of fika and the cardamom-bulle is like Thanos: perfectly balanced.

[TheMrsar]

American's don't know what cardamom is? They're missing out on cardamom tea!

[koby]

Bruh this is the most basic bun in Sweden

[maryyalda]

Cardamon is amazingly until you accidentally bite into an entire cardamom pod.

[clamjam]

Fabrique is like.. “that expensive chain that isn’t that much better”

[SkurtavusGrodolfus]

Pro tip for anyone reading: When you're brewing coffee crush one or two pods of Cardamom (depends on how much coffee you're making) and put it in with the coffee before you start brewing. That's a propper cuppa coffee for a cold day.

[Narnendil]

Fabrique being as known as Beyonce, you kidding? As a Swede, I've never heard of it! Everything else in the video is true though. That's some real Swedish 'fika' they serve there for sure!
