The sea café



Welcome to the "new" "Café by the lake"!

We are located in newly built premises on the shore of Lake Källtorpssjön, just ten metres from the reception, sauna and gym.

We also have a patio (from 2023) that follows the terrain in terraces from the café to the water.

We use only organic ingredients as much as possible - and we aim to offer a lot of plant-based options for coffee and light meals.

Here you can read more about our range and all the ingredients.

At the bottom of the page you will find a few words about the ideas and visions behind the "Café by the lake".

Then it's best to come to us (be patient if you plan to come on a Saturday...)

Occupancy varies greatly at Sjöcaféet, as in other parts of Hellasgården, as we are more influenced, for better or worse, by the changing seasons, weather and wind than many other organisations.

It happens that on weekends, especially Saturdays, we find it very difficult to cope with the large number of guests who want to stop by for a coffee or a simple meal.

This is especially true if/when the restaurant in the area is closed or, for example, only offers Christmas dinner.

We are working to cope with these peaks too, but the space has its limitations. We advise you to be patient if you plan to visit us at weekends, especially on Saturdays, when the weather is favourable.

In light of this, we can assure you that, at present, our service is more consistent on weekdays.

Thoughts and visions behind the "new" Sjöcafé.

When we remodelled the Sjöcafé, it was with the hope of inviting you to a place that, at best, frames a small part of an already amazing backdrop of the surrounding landscape, the forest, the water, the changing weather conditions and the characters of the seasons

An oasis within the oasis, to stop, catch your breath, maybe even your mind.

The proximity to the surrounding nature has followed us like a red thread through the design, layout, lighting and choice of materials.

Did we succeed? There are probably as many answers to that question as there are visitors. But we can promise you one thing: you won't regret a trip here.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the great co-operation we have had and have with, among others. Ekotekten, Golden Interior and Healthy construction products.

Good coffee!
