I stopped by here on a Friday afternoon around 1:30 pm for lunch/a snack while staying in the area. The café is located on a street that has a lot of different businesses, shops, and cafés. It looks very small at first, but if you go further in, there is actually a ton of seating. The café was pretty busy when I arrived--there were a lot of students studying and groups of friends chatting--but I was able to find a seat very easily. I ordered a prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich, a regular black coffee, and a black currant bun for dessert. My total came out to be about 145 krona. I was able to pay with my American bank card with no issues. The sandwiches are already constructed and sitting at the front of the café, but they freshly panini press them to order. There was a variety of delicious looking pastries at the front for takeaway as well as at the main counter for dine-in. The menu is in Swedish but the staff were fluent in English and seemed very happy to explain the offerings in English. They were super nice and patient with me. I wasn't entirely clear on whether they bring you your food or if you're meant to wait around for it, but I went back to the counter after finding a seat and my food was ready to be picked up at that point. My sandwich was really tasty and I enjoyed the black currant bun--I probably wouldn't get it again because I'd like to try the other baked goods and I think black currant ultimately isn't really for me as a matter of personal taste, but I appreciated that it was well made. I stayed at the café for about an hour and was not bothered during that time; this is definitely a good place to get some studying done, have a chat with friends, or have some time to yourself. The atmosphere was very clean and minimalist, with a bit of a hipster vibe. There were unisex bathrooms--small but clean and well supplied. Again, I wasn't sure if I was supposed to bus my own dishes but as I was getting ready to leave, one of the staff happened to pop in and cleared my table for me. The staff seemed to come through intermittently to clean up other tables throughout my stay. I really enjoyed eating here; if I were local, I could easily imagine this to be an ideal place to hang out regularly. It seemed to be popular with both locals and visitors. The staff were so helpful and friendly and the café had a great vibe.
Loved this café! Great coffee and so many cozy areas, go all the way in! A bit industrial like environment, made me dream back to the San Francisco style cafés. Had a coffee here and did some work between meetings. Perfect for this, but just to chill out with some friends works fine as well I guess!
This is a very cool space that has a bit of edginess to it with some of the wall art. There is a very reasonable amount of seating and each time I've been here I've seen a few people working on laptops, so it could be a good space for that. They have very good lattes and a friendly staff. When you enter, you are welcomed by some beautiful pastries as well as a section where you can get some sandwiches. You are able to order these items at the sandwich counter. They also have some of the pastries at the barista counter so you could easily order a coffee and pastry there as well.
This place is the best. I went in here this afternoon looking for some lunch and was not disappointed. As soon as I walked in, I felt welcomed by all of the staff. I ordered a prosciutto and mozzarella panini on some great crusty bread and had a double espresso and cinnamon bun for dessert. Hit the spot and was only 145 SEK to boot!
Over two years later and it's still as good or even better I would say. Coffee is still top notch. So is the 'kanelbulle' and all other stuff. Almost never the same staff when I drop in, once a quarter or so, but they are all very nice and friendly people. The hiring Mgr must be one of the best in town. I just love it coffee !!
Stopped here by way of a recommendation of our waiter at a nearby restaurant. It was early afternoon and buzzing with locals, tourists like ourselves, and majority of people on their laptops. Much of the breads and sweets appeared to have been sold out by the afternoon but we heard they are delicious. Coffee was excellent.

Came here Saturday morning with a few friends. The location is great and it's a convenient place to stop while visiting downtown Stockholm. They have pretty affordable breakfast options and everything ranging from coffee, pastries, desserts and paninis. I ended up ordering a coffee, croissant and Swedish cinnamon bun, which totally doesn't look like a typical American cinnamon bun and was flat, wavy and curly, almost looking like a Danish but like square-ish. There was a nice, relaxing relaxing vibe with a lot of minimalistic and modern design elements. We sat at a moderately large table and ate, drank our coffees and chatted in peace. If you're in town, I definitely recommend stopping by this cafe when you're in town! It wasn't too busy either! read more
Very friendly staff! Nice selection of sandwiches, desserts, and coffee! Very spacious and comfortable. Free wifi available. Great place to study, have breakfast, and/or hang out. Average prices compared to the rest of Stockholm - about the same as most major cities such as NYC. Spent 70 kr or about 7.50 USD for a cappuccino and sandwich. read more

After studying in Stockholm for almost 4 months I can gladly say that this café blows all others out of the water. The pastries are delicious with a great balance of sweetness. Unlike most other cafés, their pastries are cooked perfectly and not too dry. Their espresso drinks are made with high-quality beans and never fail to disappoint. Although they have a much more popular location in the trendy area of Södermalm, this location offers much greater ambience and a friendlier staff. Be sure to stop by for a fika and try the kardemumabullar if you haven't already. read more
