A meeting place with heart and soul
Leva Cafe is not an ordinary café - it's a place born from a dream. The dream of creating something sustainable, beautiful and timeless. A meeting place where stress can stay outside and where both body and soul can rest. Since 2014, Leva Cafe has been an oasis for both locals and visitors from near and far, who want to enjoy something good in an environment where every detail is carefully chosen.
Here you will meet Carin, Mathias and Alice - the people behind Leva - whose warmth and hospitality permeate the whole experience. Their vision has become a reality in the form of a café, an orangery and a shop - all in a stylish but stripped-down atmosphere that invites you to slow down, talk and be still.
Fika with care - flavors to remember
A coffee break at Leva Cafe is more than a cup of coffee. It's a moment to pause. Maybe you sit down in the orangery, maybe under the apple trees by the beautiful outdoor terrace. Whatever the location, the experience is the same: well-made, genuine and conscious.
The menu is small but pithy, with a focus on quality and variety. You'll always find something homemade - perhaps a moist soft cake or a classic biscuit. For those who are hungrier, there are hearty sourdough sandwiches with salami and brie or vegetarian spreads. And for those who prefer gluten-free, there is fantastic bread from Matakrobaterna - a real taste memory in itself.
The real signature? Leva Cafe's Belgian waffles. Served in two varieties - one savory and one sweet - and of course gluten-free. A crispy, warm waffle with carefully selected accompaniments is just the treat you deserve after a quiet morning in nature or a quiet moment in their shop.
The range of drinks is carefully selected. We serve KRAV-labeled coffee, locally produced apple juice and cider from Rudenstams - Småland craft tradition in beverage form. Every detail is well thought out, every ingredient has a history.
An orangery that embraces
As Leva Cafe grew and more guests wanted to stay longer, an orangery was built - a bright and harmonious outdoor space where coffee and aesthetics meet. Here you are surrounded by greenery, natural materials and carefully displayed interior details that are also available for sale.
It's easy to fall in love with the atmosphere here. The sounds are muffled by the plants, the light filters softly through the glass, and conversations are allowed to breathe. The Orangery is more than a shelter - it's a place of calm. You may come for a coffee, but you stay for the peace of mind.
Handpicked interior design - shop with flair
Leva Cafe is also a paradise for those who appreciate the beauty of everyday life. In the shop, you will find carefully selected interior design objects, utility items and lighting that suit both rural and modern. Imagine mouth-blown candle lanterns in recycled glass, ceramic bowls that no one else has, or practical wooden utensils that become a joy to use.
There is also a kitchen area filled with details that are both functional and beautiful. Storage solutions, textiles and notepads are juxtaposed with charming wool throws and quirky puzzles. A children's corner with cuddly rabbits and organic items will pique the curiosity of even the youngest visitors.
The store is more than just shopping - it's a journey of inspiration. Here you are invited to think new, mix the Scandinavian with the personal, and maybe find that perfect gift - for yourself or someone else.
Lilla Leva - a little treasure trove in the brewhouse
Behind the main building, in the old brewhouse, you will find Lilla Leva - Leva Café's own outlet. Here, the former shop range has been moved and found new homes, and at the same time more seating for café guests has been created.
It's a charming room filled with things with character and history - things that deserve to live on. A place for finds, inspiration and maybe an extra coffee stop.
Opening hours and practical information
Leva Cafe is open Saturdays and Sundays between 11am and 3pm - times that are perfect for a long breakfast, a weekend coffee or a nice end to a day trip. During the summer (weeks 27-31) they are also open on Fridays, giving you more chances to enjoy.
An excursion that touches
A visit to Leva Cafe is like a friendly whisper in the middle of everyday life. There's nothing intrusive, nothing fussy - just thoughtfulness, harmony and that feeling of time passing a little slower.
For those staying at Smålandstorpet, this is an excursion destination that fits perfectly into a vacation filled with tranquility, nature and small pleasures. Combine a walk in the forest with a cup of coffee in the orangery. Let yourself be inspired by the shop's contents and take a piece of the feeling home with you.
