Albasha Malmö - Cafe Malmö

A gem of authentic middle-eastern delights. The location is a bit off, which makes it so many pedestrians don't really see it. The atmosphere is crazy (in Malmö standards) with a wide and unique selection of sweets and drinks. They offer lebanese and turkish breakfast as well, which I will be trying out since everything seems to be done authentically.

Today I bought 3 pieces of cake. I ordered 4, but when I got home I found 3 it must be a communication problem. I don't speak Swedish perfectly. I ordered 2 cheesecakes and 2 biscuits cake. They were fresh and tasty, moderately sweet. But the cheesecake was not classic, but the consistency was more like a soufflé(not the original New York with Philadelphia cheese). Before I bought it, I asked if it included Philadelphia cheese, but did not ask if it was prepared according to the classic New York recipe. Therefore, I believe that it was my responsibility. So I recommend this confectionery.

Best place for deserts. I normally go there form Sjælland to eat biscoff cake.

This is my new favorite bakery in my neighborhood! They have great prices, are open late, and have the perfect pastries and shortbread cookies. The pastries are very sweet and you dont need more than a few small ones to feel full, but they go wonderfully with coffee and tea. I haven’t visited during a busy hour, but I’ve always had great help from the staff. Can’t wait to try more from them!

Décor was fine, simple but colourful and warm. A lot of different cake/sweets filled every surface of the first room. Felt a bit overwhelmed by choice. The stuff i picked out looked freshly made but with that amount of different cake I would caution guests to choose wisely if they want the best experience. Opted to bring stuff with me home. (Edit: when I was here it must have been some special guest seller or something, went past it today and there is loads of places to sit). Staff was friendly and helpful. I dont know the names of the specific stuff I bought (see pictures) but all of it was really good. Freshly made and delicious! Also quite reasonable prices.

The pastry’s are Good and Cheap so this is a Perk that no one can deny. The only issues i have faced is the personnel that sometimes acts in a challenging and provocative way. I know that in Sweden sometimes there are some episodes of racism so i can understand their attentive behaviour. That has not to become an uncomfortable experience during the acquisition of the parties. All the pistacchio products are very good.

There was some people in line when I was there. It seemed to take longer than it should have because the customers seemed to know them and was extremely chatty. The staff was really friendly. The girl who helped me didn't mind my thousand of questions. I ordered a chocolate cake to go, only 35sek! It was good, but I've had better (not in Sweden). Very creamy and rich in flavor. Next time I'll try the princess cake. Because there will be a next time. I saw some people with nice looking drinks, but I didn't see any menu for drinks so I didn't order any. Besides more typical Swedish bakery things they also have middle east (?). Cakes and cookies. I don't try those often because I find cookies in general too dry, but this isn't anything that affected my rating of course. The customers who were there had a toddler who kept running around, so not the friendliest environment for me and hence I decided to take home. But the interior is beautiful so I would have loved to sit there. For 5 stars? I would need the staff to be a bit more attentive to the waiting customers and the ambiance of the coffee shop. It's okay to ask customers to quiet down mind their kid better and to shut down conversations with customers faster. Also the top layer of the cake was a bit... too thick and light in my taste. And a big board that will list available drinks. And prices on the display.
