Det var väldigt trevligt bemötande, och det var väldigt mysigt där inne med mysig belysning och trevlig musik. Jag har varit där väldigt många gånger och fikat och det har alltid varit perfekt. Bästa fiket i Gällivare enligt mig.

From the outside, Café by Marlene might not catch your eye – but don’t let that fool you. This place is a true hidden gem in Gällivare! The food is great and clearly homemade, likely by the owner herself. From freshly prepared sandwiches and quesadillas to lovely pastries – everything was great. She even asked about our individual preferences before making the food, which was a really personal touch. While we waited, we were kindly offered coffee for free. The atmosphere is a cozy blend of bar and café, creating a relaxed and inviting vibe. The owner is attentive and clearly cares about her guests. This is exactly what a neighborhood café should be: homemade, heartfelt, and full of character. It’s hands down our favorite café in Gällivare – and we’ll definitely be back!
