The Ahlberg-Samsel family

We have lived abroad for several years building our careers in  the Food Industry and in Marketing . Luckily,  most summer vacations have been spent at home by the shore of Dunkern lake.
Mimmi's mother Marian Ahlberg owned Cafe Björndammen many of these years and our kids loved to visit, not least for the ice cream that Lena Haraldsson the manager always offered in generous quantities!
​Our hopes for ​​the Cafe is to be able to offer a few minutes of peace and happiness to our visitors passing thru the area, and to continue to give the families who choose to live in the countryside an oasis to rest and have a gathering spot for meetings and family celebrations.
We are very proud to be able to offer seasonal employment to a few of our fellow Sörmlanders. You might have all-ready met  some of the local talent as well as our nieces and nephews "slinging tables" at the Cafe for a summer job.
​
Although we do not always manage the Cafe ourselves we are thrilled and proud to call it ours, it is very dear to our hearts!
​ As revenues allows, we will continue to renovate the cottage and garden in hopes that one day be able to keep the Cafe doors open almost year round...
​
          We hope that our guests will remain patient with
                                        us thru this process!
