They are famous for…read moreSwedish fika (coffee and cake break) and their popular items are the Princess cake and cinnamon buns. Princess cake - (68 SEK = $6.81 USD) - A princess cake consists of a layer of green marzipan that is chewy and has a strong almond flavor. The one here is thinner than most places I have tried. Underneath it is some whipped cream, a vanilla sponge cake layered with custard and then a thin layer of raspberries. It tasted incredible and I really enjoyed it, especially how fresh all the ingredients were. Budapest pastry - (68 SEK = $6.81 USD) - This consisted of a hazelnut meringue with a very nutty taste. On the inside was a roll of pastry cream and strawberries. This was another great tasting pastry. Cappuccino - (54 SEK = $5.41 USD) - The cappuccino here is smooth and not bad. Overall Vette Katten is a must stop to try the Princess cake. I heard their cinnamon buns are good too, but didn't get a chance to try them.

Sometimes you just need somewhere to catch your breath, catch up, and plan for the rest of the day. Chokladkoppen did that for me. I had the Hot Chocolate and a cinnamon bun, and leisurely sat at my table for at least 30 minutes. There was never pressure to move on, which is so common, at least in the US ("Are you finished working on that? Can I bring you something else? Can I bring you a box?). The hot chocolate was dark, very much tasted like quality chocolate, and like a warm massage. I also ate one of their cinnamon buns, which are very popular in Stockholm. It also hit the spot. The cost of the hot chocolate was $6 USD and the cinnamon bun was a few cents less. The view from the table and people watching alone was worth the total $12 cost, but so was the hot chocolate and cinnamon bun.

The employees spoke at least some English and also had English menus. I heard American oldies music playing. Savory waffles included vegetarian, chicken, pork, and seafood. Dessert waffles had ingredients such as cloudberry, lingonberry, blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, apple, banana, Nutella, Biscoff, cinnamon bun, chocolate-cherry, and ice cream. Other menu items included salads, meatballs, freakshakes, and affogatos. We placed our order at the counter and paid. We took a number to a table of our choosing. Indoor seating and outdoor seating with blankets was available. Minutes later, an employee brought an incorrect food to us, so I pointed it out, and he later brought the correct foods. Here are my ratings for what we ordered: Nikas Honungskaka - 4.5 stars - soft, moist honey cake Eggs Royale - 4.5 stars - thick, fluffy cheddar-potato waffle with very smoked salmon, poached eggs, lemon hollandaise, dill, and horseradish Vuxen Kottbullar - 4.5 stars - traditional beef meatballs with mashed potatoes, cream sauce, lingonberries, and pickled cucumber Maja Graddnos Frasvaffla Hjortronsylt - 4.5 stars - thin, crispy waffle topped with my choice of cloudberry jam and whipped cream The total price for these four foods plus a soda and a juice was 743 Swedish Krona or about $75 USD.

We found ourselves on their super cosy platform of stairs in the cafe, you can take your shoes off, stretch out and read a book (though climbing down again can be a bit awkward!). The hot chocolate with marshmallow and jordgubbb meringue petit fours was a real treat, just right for a small fika and long conversation with friends. You can choose between white, milk and dark hot chocolate and they also do beautifully illustrated chocolate advent calendars at this time of year, By the end we were so comfy we had to force ourselves to leave!

Inside there's even more crazy artwork as the walls and ceilings were painted with crazy cows! There was only 3 flavors when I went (since it was later in the day) and the girl who was working at the counter was super friendly! She offered me to try the 3 flavors with a smile on her face! That never happens with a smile on your face! Anyways, I decided to try the lavender one and some hazelnut almond mixture. I liked both of them a lot but decided to go with the lavender one since it was a bit more unique. They also had Semlas in the store and oddly enough that day was "Fat Tuesday" which meant that it was a "national Semla" day. Since I had to celebrate such a historic holiday, I got the ice cream inside the semla and it was delicious. The way the bread soaked up the ice cream was super satisfying.

I had been using only my credit card in Stockholm, but when I got in to StikkiNikki, I was bummed to find out this place was cash only. The lady was extra nice, and accepted my Euros and gave me SEK back. I had the mocha flavored ice cream in waffle cone, and the single scoop serving was very generous. The waffle cone was crunchy and tasty, but the ice cream just tasted icy and watery as the flavor wasn't infused. Later as I was strolling through the city, I stumbled upon another StikkiNikki that had different flavors, such as Tin Roof (peanut and fudge swirl in vanilla - I was super excited for the crunchy texture!) and salted caramel. I tried those samples and again it was very watery and the flavor wasn't infused. If this were the United States these would be baller flavors... Side note, why do Scandinavians like their licorice so much?! There was a salted licorice flavor, and all over the grocery stores, there are licorice candies. I remember when I went to Iceland there was licorice everywhere as well.

The first day, I also saw them making the donuts and they really go all out on the toppings. Let's just say, they don't skimp out on them.

The space was brightly lit, fairly spacious, with comfortable seating, and an inviting atmosphere. I had this almond pastry covered with powdered sugar, along with a Hazelnut Latte. In total, this was around $11. The pastry was absolutely delectable! It was satisfyingly chewy, soft, with actual almond, as well as delightful almond flavor throughout. The Hazelnut Latte was prepared with care, and had a lovely design on top. However, it tasted more like a regular latte. There wasn't enough hazelnut in it. Stopped by another time during my trip, because they were the only bakery-like place still open (most close so early!) I saw they had the Hazelnut Roll, which they were out of last time, so of course I had to get it. The roll was huge, fluffy, flaky, with plenty of hazelnut and hazelnut spread. Mmm! I would be open to trying more from this spot, but would want to check out more non-chain cafes for Fika in the future.
