Evas Paley is a café on Gothenburg’s main boulevard, Avenyn. Visit Sweden says the café makes its food from scratch and gets bread and pastries from its own bakery in Högsbo. It serves breakfast, lunch and hot dishes every day, and stays open late each evening, according to the national tourism listing.

The weekly offerings give visitors a choice between a regular meal and buffet service. On Wednesdays, the café has an afternoon tea buffet. On weekends, it serves a breakfast buffet with freshly baked scones, sourdough bread, cheeses and homemade marmalades. The listing describes the weekend breakfast as generous. A Wednesday visit is an option for afternoon tea; on a weekend, visitors can come for the breakfast buffet.

The café’s history goes back to 1945, when Marianne and Ari Paley founded Café Paley. Eva Olsson took it over in 1992, with the ambition of preserving its heritage while developing the business. The result was Evas Paley. The café’s food and buffet offerings sit alongside this history, giving visitors a chance to eat at a place whose story reaches back to Café Paley’s founding.
