If tea (or perhaps a glass of bubbly), cakes, biscuits, and sundry other edible delights are your thing, Stockholm has some fantastic places in which to elegantly while away a few hours.

Downtown Camper

If you want to enjoy your afternoon tea right in the middle of the city with one of Stockholm’s best views, you should take the elevator up to the 9th floor of the hotel Downtown Camper, located on Brunkebergstorg. In the quiet and tastefully decorated rooftop bar The Nest Cocktail Lounge, Afternoon Fika is served Wednesday to Sunday between 3 pm and 5 pm. Afternoon Fika is Downtown Camper’s own version of afternoon tea and is an ‘all-you-can-eat’ format with macarons, brownies, and all the sweets you can imagine. In other words, true indulgence for the true sweet-tooth.

Hotel Diplomat

Offering both the classic Afternoon Tea and the new Afternoon Tea-Tox, here is where you indulge in warm scones with homemade marmalade, finger sandwiches, and decadent yet delicate pastries. This is one of Stockholm’s most popular afternoon tea spots, so reservations are strongly recommended. Did we mention the fantastic view over the water?

Tea & Garden

With more than 30 varieties to choose from Tea & Garden in Vasastan really puts the ‘tea’ in afternoon tea. But it doesn’t stop there. Whether you choose classic scones or perhaps the more Swedish skagenröra, each little delicate delight makes your visit to this beautiful tea salon a pure pleasure. In addition, Tea & Garden has a shop so you can buy your favorite teas and enjoy them at home.

Cadier Bar (Grand Hôtel)

What kind of afternoon tea are you in the mood for? Traditional? High Tea? Vintage? There’s all that and more but the real star here is the Grand Hôtel’s own-blend house tea, which must be tasted to be believed. A big pot of that, served in the Grand’s legendary elegant style, is the perfect compliment to the tasty array of pastries, sandwiches, and scones (served with lime curd and a plethora of homemade jams). Add in a glass of perfectly chilled champagne and your afternoon just got a whole lot better.

Svenskt Tenn

On the second floor of Svenskt Tenn, a legendary Stockholm design shop, you’ll find an equally legendary – and not terribly well known – tea salon. The seating is covered in Josef Frank fabric and the ambiance is one of welcoming luxury. The view is unparalleled and the food is organic, offering everything from traditional cakes and pastries to salads and soup. So perhaps not your traditional afternoon tea but still well worth a visit.

Wienercaféet

Located in the heart of Stockholm, Wienercaféet is the epitome of elegance – and it is home to one of the most delightful afternoon teas in Stockholm. From pate à choux filled with fruit pannacotta and roasted brioche to mini-Quiche Lorraine made with goat’s cheese and roasted walnuts, this afternoon tea goes well beyond scones – although those are on offer as well. The own blend house tea will quench your thirst, although cocktails and champagne also work well.

We wish you a delicious afternoon tea in Stockholm!
