Interesting little place in Ballard where my Norwegian mother was born and raised. Very good book selection about various Scandinavian countries. Has small cafe as well
Food here is spectacular. We had the salmon quiche and open-faced shrimp sandwich
Staff is so friendly
Wonderful items to peruse in the shop..sweaters, treats, jewelry
What a cool place! Had to keep myself from buying everything.... But the rye bread and knackebrot had to be bought. Don't forget to get gerkins and beets cos seriously, they're way better than any US versions existing.... Great product selection, also gifts and jewelry and such. And we spotted Stroop Club Stroopwafels!
Niche place to get Scandinavian specialties including pickled Herring
It's a little gem of Scandi items, along with a well curated grocery section and a very tempting pastry and open faced sandwich collection. Excited to try out my tin of peppered mackerel!
A great place to find Scandinavian condiments, fish balls, sandwiches. Desserts, clothing, and decor items. Friendly staff. You can eat in or take out.
I love this store! So many cute items from Norway, Sweden, Iceland, etc. You can eat traditional Scandinavian food there or buy things to try at home. You can find gifts, books, hand crafted items, and don't forget to try the candy!
I just received my shipment. Extremely fast and well packaged. My cheeses and pumpkinseed bread are already in the fridge. Everything is even better than I could've imagined. So thrilled with everything. Merry Christmas to me❤ I will definitely continue shopping with you. The picture of the cheese is to show you how big they are.
always a favorite store of mine. i had been looking for swedish bilar for a while and finally found them here. so many delicious treats and cute trinkets 🇸🇪
What a great little shop! I went in expecting this to be mostly gifts/"themed" merchandise, but was pleasantly surprised at how many Scandinavian staples we were able to find. Things like vanilla sugar, black currant juice, and a arched candelabra for Christmas were our exciting finds, which we have not been able to find at any other grocery. Definitely the best option around for Scandinavian pantry items and imported gifts!
Shop for favorites like Lefse. Had their soup for lunch...split pea and ham that day. Yum!! Should go more often...casual, friendly!
Extensive candy selection and lots of delicious food and the cutest Christmas decorations!
From Seattle living in Montana. Everytime I come home I make sure to stop by my favorite shop in the entire world. Staff makes you feel like family, food and goodies make you feel like you're back home in your Nordic countries. Norway for me. Please stop by and have the time of your life. Tusen takk Scandinavian Specialties.
Cute little shop! Very friendly counter service for a quick bite. I didn't catch the name of the woman who took my order, but she answered all my questions about the menu and seemed to really enjoy the food. I got the Polse and it was wonderful!
Scandinavian Specialties shipped a beautiful STITCHED Norwegian flag which is now displayed proudly on our flagpole. The most wonderful thing about this experience was the customer service provided by Daniel, who called to assure that the flag would be delivered, it's just delayed a bit because of the current circumstances. Wow. Such care and kindness. In these trying times it truly was heartwarming. THANK YOU!!!
Wide variety of food, books, clothing, and general items sll from the Scandinavian countries. I plan to become a regular there.
Lefse, meatballs, pickled herring and nordic sweaters - what's not to like! Good selection of fresh and frozen supplies, plus Nordic gifts
Great place for Scandinavian food and gifts. I've wanted to visit for a few years and finally had some time. They have a wide variety of packaged foods, frozen foods, and fresh food. They also have Scandinavian gifts like apparel, Dalecarlian horse statues, candles, etc. When it comes to fresh food, I ordered the semlor. I've had the semlor in Helsingborg, Sweden and the version Scandinavian Specialties sells is a good version to try. The cardamom was present but not overpowering in the dough and the cream was not too rich. The next time I visit I want to try their other dishes.
Just love the cultural immersion that occurs once inside.
