Pepparkakans dag – Gingerbread Cookie Day 2025

Celebrate Gingerbread Cookie Day — Pepparkakans dag — with us!

Instituted on December 9, 1996, in Sweden by Annas Pepparkakor as a way to promote this beloved holiday staple, Pepparkakans dag is now a sweet reason to gather and celebrate.

We’re marking the occasion with a gingerbread decorating station, where you can design your own cookie ($5 per cookie) with icing and sprinkles.

To really amp up the holiday spirit, we’ll also be serving traditional rice porridge — choose your topping: sugar, cinnamon, and cold milk or sugar, cinnamon, and butter. One bowl will contain a hidden almond, and whoever finds it wins a prize!

Of course, we’ll also have saffron buns along with our regular menu.

While supplies last, no reservations.
