In the beginning, it was just a small café. Today, "Bredbar Kök & Deli" is both a café and a restaurant that has grown with each passing year. Now they have arrived in Kista and look forward to becoming an integral part of the community. We met Ramona, one of the founders of Bredbar Kök & Deli, to gain insight into their delightful family business.
With experience in the restaurant industry and a desire to create something of their own, Ramona and her partner opened the doors to their café, "Bredbar." A few years later, they have become both a café and a restaurant, and the number of employees has grown to 18 people. For Ramona, only two things matter - that the customers are happy and that the family feeling is always present.
- Initially, we ran a café called "Bredbar." Later, we started collaborating with a restaurant, and since we had experience running a restaurant before, we took the step to create 'Bredbar Kök & Deli,' starting in Solna Strand. Our focus has always been on the customers, and for us, the family feeling is very important. Today, we are also in Frösunda, and now we have arrived in Kista with both café and lunch services. We were thrilled when we got the opportunity to open here, says Ramona.
The founders themselves work on everything from kitchen duties to administration, and they are keen to be part of the entire operation. The focus in the restaurant part is on traditional Swedish dishes, but they always add a dish with a special twist.
- We serve classics like Biff Rydberg but also our own creations like our Thai curry. Every day we have three dishes on the menu: a meat dish, a fish dish, and a vegetarian dish. Additionally, we always offer our salads. Everything is made from scratch to ensure high quality. A particular favorite among guests is our schnitzel, and every Thursday, our pancake buffet attracts many guests.
Adapting to Kista and "Smartbox"
You can buy lunch from Bredbar Kök & Deli every day between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM, and the café is open from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. In the future, the hours may change depending on how the people of Kista want it.
- We will adjust our opening hours based on how the people in Kista move and behave. We see great potential here as it is a very active district with a lot going on. So now we will test and see how it goes. We really feel that we can offer Kista something new. My feeling is also that Kista is at the forefront with several things and a "conscious" district overall. Therefore, we have, among other things, our "smartbox" concept, where you can help us save food while saving money. Smartbox gives life to delicious food that deserves a second chance, a sustainable and affordable solution for your evening meal. Smartboxes are sold in our refrigerators from 2:30 PM.
Opening and Future Plans
The opening of Bredbar Kök & Deli was a great success, with many visitors enjoying both the premises and the offerings. Going forward, they will also organize several fun events, and it is possible to book the premises for corporate parties or birthday parties.
- Many people were very happy that we had opened and liked our selection. The response has been very positive, and people seem to like both the design of the restaurant and the food. In the future, the plan is to get to know Kista even better and tailor our offerings to what people here want. We also plan to organize after-work events, fun activities, and happenings. And we are happy to assist with corporate events and birthday parties with customized buffets, for example. We believe we can create so much fun together with everyone who lives and works here. Corem, from whom we rent the premises, has been fantastic and ensured that we have a space with so many possibilities.
