Swedes adore coffee, so it\u2019s no wonder that there seems to be a caf\u00e9 on every corner in Stockholm. Every afternoon, locals huddle in caf\u00e9s for daily fika<\/em>, a tradition of chatting over coffee and a cinnamon bun. I know you\u2019re thinking, ‘what\u2019s so special about that?’\u00a0but Sweden takes its fika<\/em> seriously, to the point that it\u2019s a bit strange if you have less than three fika<\/em> a day. Fika<\/em> with work colleagues, fika with friends and fika with family. Swedes consume a whopping 1.36 cups of filtered coffee per capita per day, third in the world after Finland and the Netherlands. Whether you prefer your brews in fresh, trendy brunch spots with bacon waffles, or prefer to tuck in at a traditional wooden house, Stockholm has a spot for you. Here are some of the best caf\u00e9s in Stockholm:<\/p>\n

Rosendals Tr\u00e4dg\u00e5rd<\/a><\/h2>\n

Rosendals is a favorite of locals. This caf\u00e9 rests within the Rosendals\u2019 Garden Foundation on the forested island of Djurgarden, neighbour to a garden center, farm shop and artisanal wood-burning bakery. The menu is based on seasonal produce. It\u2019s a perfect spot to kick back on a sunny summer day, amid the flowers and herbs, a bit of a idyllic respite in the middle of the city. Leave it to the Swedes to combine the best of sustainable and ecological with an unassuming celebration of good weather.<\/p>\n

Address:<\/strong> Rosendalsv\u00e4gen 38. <\/em><\/p>\n

Vete-Katten<\/a><\/h2>\n

The epitome of an Old World caf\u00e9, Vete-Katten manages to stay fresh and unpretentious at the same time. Widely popular with tourists and locals, the coffee shop has a 1920s vibe\u00a0throughout its labyrinth of rooms, corridors and stairwells. When asked what she would name her cafe, founder Ester Nordhammar replied, \u201cJa, det vete katten,\u201d which in Swedish can mean \u201cthe cat knows,\u201d or \u201cthe wheat cat.\u201d The name stuck and so has the caf\u00e9, ever since 1928.<\/p>\n

Address:<\/strong> Kungsgatan 55. <\/em><\/p>\n

The Greasy Spoon<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n

The Greasy Spoon is one of the highest rated cafes in the city although it’s not traditionally Swedish. Founded by two Brits, you’ll find a menu of eggs benedict and morning cocktails. Be prepared to wait in a line for an hour or more if you\u2019re there for a weekend, or swing by on a quieter weekday.<\/p>\n

Address:<\/strong> Tj\u00e4rhovsgatan 19 and Hagagatan 4. <\/em><\/p>\n

Ritorno Konditori<\/a><\/h2>\n

Ritorno is a local neighbourhood cafe, with retro couches, communal tables and wine-dark carpets. Founded in 1935, the style is flamboyant and cosy with gilded paintings, exquisite chandeliers and mirrors for walls. Classic meatball sandwiches and massive cups of soup are a bargain. Drop in after work to catch Stockholmers at their best: loosening up over fika<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Address:<\/strong> Odengatan 80. <\/em><\/p>\n

Lisa\u2019s Caf\u00e9 & Hembageri<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a well-kept secret, but if you want a peek into a classic Swedish grandma\u2019s kitchen, head to Lisa\u2019s on S\u00f6dermalm. You can\u2019t get more authentic than red checkered tablecloths, nostalgic wall photos, and a self-service counter of cinnamon buns, cardamom buns, and sumptuous cakes. Entering Lisa\u2019s, you’ll feel like you\u2019ve stepped into a timeless \u201860s or \u201870s Swedish home – a perfect spot to take your mother for fika<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Address:<\/strong> Sk\u00e5negatan 68.<\/em><\/p>\n

Snickerbacken 7<\/a><\/h2>\n

The fashionable Snickarbacken 7 is a fantastic caf\u00e9, shop and gallery all rolled into one. Smack-dab in the heart of downtown, this is where you\u2019d go to make an impression. Browse the shop inside for artisanal health products, clothes or artwork. Just be sure to get a seat before noon, as it fills up to the brim with customers around lunchtime.<\/p>\n

Address:<\/strong> Snickerbacken 7. <\/em><\/p>\n

Johan & Nystr\u00f6m<\/a><\/h2>\n

Founded in 2004 by two brothers committed to bringing coffee with high-quality and intense flavoured beans, Johan & Nystr\u00f6m is now a staple of S\u00f6dermalm, and a favourite among passionate coffee drinkers. Their java is thick with flavor. You can also pick up roasted beans from Guatemala and Sumatra, as well as coffee accessories like French press, percolators, chemex.<\/p>\n

Address:<\/strong> Swedenborgsgatan 7. <\/em><\/p>\n

Drop Coffee<\/a><\/h2>\n

Another S\u00f6dermalm landmark, Drop Coffee owns Swedish minimalism. Classic wooden furniture, a casual atmosphere and some of the best coffee in Stockholm make this a great choice. They also host brewing courses.<\/p>\n

Address:<\/strong> Wollmar Yxkullsgatan 10. <\/em><\/p>\n
