Nice Valley i Farsta distrikt — Herbert Widmans väg 7

A hidden gem in Sköndal! Nice Valley is such a peaceful and charming place - it truly lives up to its name. The surroundings are calm and green, making it perfect for a relaxing visit or a quiet walk nearby. The staff are friendly and genuinely welcoming, which gives the whole place a cozy, personal feeling.

Re opened with a new style and name, much more refined, so far only had the fika but definitely a noticeable increase in quality. This time the whole house is open and there are many different areas to sit. You can book for brunch buffet. It took some time to reopen but seems it was worth the wait.

Nice Valley Café! The name itself, a direct translation from Swedish, is as endearingly "nice" as the café itself – a sort of generic, polite, English "nice," which paradoxically makes it rather Swedish, I'd say. It truly embodies that quintessential "it's nice" sentiment you'd overhear between two 90-year-old Swedes discussing anything from the weather to... more weather "How was the Nice Valley café?" "Well, it was nice." "That's nice, dear." You get the picture. ​And indeed, the view? Beautiful! So lovely you almost forget the minor details. One certainly pays a premium for this panorama, and frankly, I don't see much difference from when it was exclusively enjoyed by the local pensioners from the adjacent home – perhaps it's just the added thrill of sharing (?) ​Now, let's talk about the less picturesque elements. The interior, particularly the ordering queue, offers a rather authentic sauna experience – without the refreshing dip afterward. They don't even put up a measly fan. Come on! It's an environment where the staff, bless their hearts, are clearly doing their utmost in what appears to be a perpetual flatline situation. They're usually quite stressed and seem inexperienced, but hey, they're trying! ​As for the actual sustenance, the food is, shall we say, uninspired. It's bland, lacking variety, and frankly, quite expensive for what you get. But then again, one must factor in the visual feast outside, right? That wonderful view certainly adds a few kronor to the bill, even if the prawn sandwich doesn't quite live up to it. ​All in all, if you're looking for a painting of a view sacrificing a bit on the culinary front, Nice Valley is... well, it's nice. Just remember to dress lightly for the queue and manage your expectations for anything beyond the scenery. Note. This is MY experience. Don't take it for scripture. Someone else may not be bothered by the inferno in the que and may enjoy the food immensely. Remember "Taste is like The Back" Swedish saying... Google it.

A really cozy place to eat, drink coffee and enjoy the lake view. Super friendly employees, good food and tasty coffee which is included in the menu. Not a location foreigners will come by frequently, but if you're going through the area, definitely take a break here!

Our company organized a day retreat at this venue, and it was truly fantastic. We enjoyed vegan meals for both lunch and dinner inside the greenhouse. The ambiance was exceptional, and the staff members were incredibly pleasant.
