Cafés in Stockholm

Swedes are well known for their ‘fika’ (pronounced ‘fee-ka’), so obviously this is serious business in Stockholm. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick espresso, a chill lunch with a friend or a pastry to make Tuesday feel special, the city’s full of amazing spots to settle in.

You’ve got it all – classic bakeries with the smell of fresh buns wafting out the door, hip cafés with raw treats and matcha lattes, and tiny neighbourhood joints where the barista knows your name. Semlor in winter, cinnamon buns year-round, and sourdough so good it deserves its own fan club.

Most places serve tasty lunches too – think big salads, warm soups, hearty sandwiches and flaky pies. Some are perfect for getting work done, others for people-watching, or just a cosy stop on your stroll through town.

We’ll point you to Stockholm’s best cafés, bakeries and coffee spots – whether you’re chasing the city’s best semla, want to fika like a true local, or just need a cappuccino that hits the spot.
