Spices like cinnamon and cardamom bring alluring fragrance to all sorts of Scandinavian foods, most notably baked goods like a classic swirled bun to pair with your morning coffee. The soft, slightly chewy and well-burnished breakfast pastries, showered with pearl sugar, from the chef Emma Bengtsson at Aquavit are heavenly scented with cardamom, too. Aquavit Cinnamon Buns, $5 each for takeout or delivery (two-mile radius); Aquavit, 65 East 55th Street, 212-307-7311, aquavit.org.
