What people say, in short
Many people recommend Kantine, a Scandinavian restaurant and bakery, and two commenters name it as a breakfast pick. Two commenters praise its cardamom roll, and one praises the Swedish-style cinnamon roll; both come unfrosted. One commenter says its Scandinavian-style food is not a traditional American breakfast and would not suit someone focused on egg dishes.
