Many visitors have pointed out the cute appearance of the treats, making them perfect souvenirs to take home (though perhaps lacking the 'Swedish' touch, as noted by one satisfied customer).

Enthusiastic reviews from visitors such as Stephen T emphasize the generous sampling experience, making it a delight for those looking to indulge. And if you're there for a quick coffee break, as noted by Erin Gibson, the service is prompt and the atmosphere warm; a perfect combination to sip and savor.

Don’t leave without trying the perfect pairing of an espresso with any chocolate or sweet—it's a local favorite repeated by many patrons including Ali Albuloushi. Whether you’re lingering at a cozy table or simply grabbing a treat to go, Virginia is a treasure trove for those with a sweet tooth and a passion for memorable experiences.

In summary, Virginia - Creazioni dolciarie dal 1860 is more than just an art café; it's a celebration of tradition, flavor, and exceptional service set against the backdrop of Stockholm’s oldest streets.

Lovely staffs! A lot of options of cookies and chocolates which are cute looking therefore make them a good souvenir (just not swedish haha) Tried their ice cream, wasn’t my favourite, they’re very creamy and milky to me, so the flavour didn’t really go through. I tried their vanilla and bacio.

Owner is very hospitable. Italian place but very historic. This shop is located in the oldest street of the area as far as I remember from the owner. Ceiling is from early 17. century. Definitely worth a visit!

Fantastic owner. Lots of samples and made the experience wonderful. We picked up a tin box full of treats and would have picked up more if our luggage had the space! Just recently opened. Best of luck!

An Italian pastry chef store in the old city. This authentic and unique shop sells traditional Italian cookies and special chocolates which are delicious. The store has a great variety and the cookies and chocolates are made with prime ingredients. Must visit!

Super special place, delicious Italian gluten free sweets, almond based, supposedly the original macaroons. They have stores around the world, and they're pretty unique. Very nice service too. A bit odd that there's no expiration date on the products though.
