The café is run by a local sports association, making every cup of coffee and every morsel of food more meaningful, as your patronage directly supports community activities. As one satisfied customer, Styrbjörn Lüning, beautifully expressed, “Where can one enjoy a fika in a more heartwarming place among old buildings from Vetlanda and its surroundings... it is good to learn a little history of the homeland while eating a fantastically delicious waffle...” This sentiment embodies the essence of Forngårdens Café—where every bite is paired with a side of nostalgia.

Families frequent Forngårdens for its laid-back vibe and affordable prices, with options to indulge in fun activities, including a game of minigolf in the surrounding area—$2.50 for children and $3.50 for adults, or a family deal that makes it accessible for everyone. Jonathan Lilliedahl noted in his review, “Simple service run by a sports association. Reasonable prices. Beautiful surroundings and opportunity for mini-golf... Definitely worth a visit for the family!” This makes Forngårdens not just a café, but a community hub where laughter and enjoyment are served daily.

Whether you're stopping by for a quick coffee, a sweet treat, or a leisurely family outing, Forngårdens Café promises an authentic taste of local culture within its lovingly preserved walls. Open during select summer weekends, be sure to plan your visit when the café welcomes guests from 11 AM to 5 PM.”

Var kan man fika på ett mer hjärtevärmande ställe bland gamla byggnader från platser i Vetlanda med omnejd......bra att få lite historia om hembygden samtidigt som man äter en grymt god våffla......
