This is a super-cool place and such a cool find in London. Just behind OXford Street/Marketplace, it has friendly staff, nice pastries and all kinds of odd Scandinavian foodstuffs, candies, etc. All my Swedish friends love the candy pick a mix selection, the shrimp paste in a tube and other odd pickled, smoked fish products. The coffee is decent (not the best), but the atmosphere is cool, and there are some tables in the back so you can have quick coffee business meetings any time. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Scandinavian Kitchen is great, and i have returned a few times. The food is fresh, tasty - and something a little different to most cafes! Being Scandinavian! The setting is warm and cosy and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Its open throughout the day so its a great meeting place for a nibble and a social. The décor seems typical Scandinavian style if ikea is anything to go by! It is bright, crisp and clean. It helps that the place is not very old i guess. It always seems to have quite a few Nordics inside so i assume from that that it is authentic. As i am not a professional in the ways of Scandinavian food i would not like to say if it is or not, but i can say that it tastes very good and at a reasonable price too. read more

Great place to get meatballs, smoked salmon, gingerbread cookies and swedish candy. The coffee is tasty, the staff are friendly and the sandwich with meatballs is to die for :) You can also find scandinavian food for sale and you be sure to meet al least some scandinavian people in there, mostly swedes. read more

Being a semi nord was delighted to find this place just 200m from work. A chance to subject the workmates to the delights of pickled herring never goes amiss and am glad to say all enjoyed the food. An explanation of what's on offer is already provided by other reviewers so won't go into that, and would agree it's all fresh and tasty. The grocery selection is a nice touch, especially for those who recognise a few old favourites on the shelves. Good for a few treats though, such as authentic salmiakki. read more

Scandinavian Kitchen rocks! We popped in to snap up some of the new Gluten Free Fria food. Yet we were transfixed by the Swedish decor, quirky music, friendly atmosphere and oddles and oddles of Swedish products. All of which almost distracted us from our main goal of buying some of the new Fria Cinnamon rolls! A bit like a trip to Ikea where you end up with more in your basket than you expected we snapped up some Wasa GF crispbreads (so so nice!) and the Gluten Free Semper Macaroni. The staff were really helpful when we asked about gluten free products and they happily bagged up our goodies for us unlike many other small shops or even large supermarkets. Even the carrier bags are cool, they are 100% compostable which makes them green yet strong! The place has a great feel and personality (look out for the Moomin pictues and smile at the staff uniform which has message about being 'hard of herring' so speak up if you want some help printed on the back of it). Our only quibble is please get some great gluten free products in and have some GF ones on the counter that are covered to avoid cross contamination. However, that's more of a hint than a quibble! Unlike Ikea you won't end up frustrated, achy, or cursing about where you put the allen key. So it's high scores from us! It's like a perfectly wrapped piece of Sweden here in London. Skip the high street chains on Oxford Street and instead head over to Scandi Kitchen. Let's support the independant shops and cafes that are selling gluten free choices. Go visit and say 'hello' from Gluten Free Guerrillas ; ) ! read more

Delicious food, fairly priced, cheerful and helpful staff! Had the meatballs and it was really good. You can choose three sides from the salads and they were delicious as well. There are tables to eat in which are quite comfortable. read more

Great find and just down the road from the office. Huge table in the middle of cafe is ideal for mini meetings lovely coffee in stylish big white mugs and flapjacks to die for! Cheeky male staff members never fail to bring a wry smile to my face everytime I go in! read more

Amazingly friendly people there and scandy style tapas which I love. If you are into things like pickled herring on rye bread - look no further. They also do very, very good coffee - which is tougher to find than it should be! read more

Delicious coffee and cake, friendly service, and I love the Scandi-themed puns on the A-board outside: Abba nice day! read more

Fairly regular coffee & cake customer 1-2 x week. Not bad at all. Not the best coffee, not the best cakes, and definitely not the cheapest, but it's a massive step up from Pret a Starbucks, and has a nice, unpretentious vibe. Collectively it's definitely worth considering if you're nearby (i.e shopping on Oxford St). read more

One word that describes the Scandinavian Kitchen is Quirky. Every day there's a different joke on the A board that always grabs your attention. When you get inside there's always a friendly face and a whole host of alternative scrumptious Scandinavian Sandwiches (try saying that after you've had a few beers). There are different salads available as well, and their cakes aren't bad either, I'm not a coffee Guru but that's pretty good too. The design is typically Scandinavian, pretty minimalistic, which might lead you to think it doesn't have much atmosphere but you'd be wrong. There's always people picking up different Scandinavian groceries that are located all around the seating area. There's a whole host of different foods from sweets and chocolates to pickled vegetables, like I said, its a quirky place. This is a great alternative place to go for a light lunch (if you keep away from the yummy cakes) or for a coffee in the afternoon. It's not too pricey either. read more

Love this place. Coffee is lovely, food is yummy, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Perfect. read more

ScandiKitchen - I love the design of this mug, full of great Monmouth coffee too, and that's a delicious toasted sandwich there too. - International Grocery Near Me - London, XGL

Ohhh, this place is yummy. Great selection of Scandinavian food good for breakfast or lunch. Awesome pastries and super carrot cake when they make it. Coffee is decent and a cool place to hang out. People are super friendly. read more

I just love, love, love this place. It's adorable and the selection of cakes and other sweets is huge. At least that's my favourite part. Of course, you can have a nice, full, meal by choosing some of the meat options. Of course, the stars of the place are the meatballs that can make one tremble in fear of what comes next on the menu. Lovely place. read more

A great find not too far from Oxford Street. The smørrebrød is great, 3 pieces for £4.95 or 5 pieces - £7.75, compared to what I paid in Stockholm the other week, an absolute bargain. I particularly enjoyed the herring with rye bread. Great food, and really friendly staff make this a 5-star lunch destination. read more

Love the place. I came here for lunch after reading reviews of other reputable yelpers. Love the rye bread sandwiches and salad combo! I'm definitely coming back here again! read more

Very good variety of snacks and food at acceptable prices very nice cafe quaint surroundings , was able to get everything and staff very friendly read more

Being Swedish and all that, this is the best place in London to go to if you want a taste of Scandinavia. The coffee is strong and brilliant is served in stylish cubs, the smörgåsbord is tasty but maybe a little costly for what you get. You must not miss out on the chocolate cake, the cinnamon buns or the delicatobollar - the main reason why I as a swede visit the cafe. Staff is super-friendly and will always put a smile on your face! Great location in the West End as well so very easy to find. read more

Nice little place, friendly, cosy and definitely a place to hang out in. The open sandwiches were good but a little pricey for what you get. The chocolate cake and coffee were among the best in London. I wonder where they get their coffee. Nice staff. The grocery section sells one or two interesting things, e.g. orange and carrot marmalade. The only reason it has 4 rather than 5 stars is that I would really have liked a buffet, but I guess they just don't have room. good for lunch, but stays open till about 8 pm read more

I have reviewed this place before, but I wanted to give it a third chance and even I can change my mind about a place. This time it wasn't so crowded, so I tried their sandwiches which was a nice experience. The bread was particular good, you don't find that kind of bread anywhere else in London. The coffee tasted like coffee tasted back in Sweden then I lived there. If you wanna enjoy this place, do it in the week and not in a weekend, then it can get full and not so quiet. So this place isn't so bad at all. read more

Superb quality food with great service. With such a variety of Scandinavian foods on offer it's great to have staff who are more than happy to explain what everything is and to make recommendations. My recommendation - Swedish Meatballs! One of the more expensive lunch options in the area, but definitely great for a nice treat once in a while. read more

I love the Scandi Kitchen. I either go for the meatballs or the Smörgåsbord with three tasty sandwiches. And a cinnamon bun of course ;-)

Nice and quiet basement to use their Wi-Fi in, perfectly adequate toilets, gorgeous cakes and super filter coffee, and young, friendly good-looking staff. They don't accept cards for less than £5, but that is more than compensated by their strengths. One of the best cafés in London and pleasantly unusual too. read more

Yummy! Such different food to what I'm used to but lovely and refreshing!

It was one of those days when I needed herring. There was no herring How come there was no herring?! So I had salmon nice canapes they were! Coffee? OK. . read more

A classic amongst London's Nordic cafes. The cakes are still to die for and the selection of Scandi produce in the shop is extensive. The quality of coffee has been lacking a little recently - there are a few other cafes on Great Titchfield Street offering a higher quality brew. Overall, still worth a trip. Ask for cream with your brownie cake! read more

Really lovely cheerful friendly staff and great concept. However having been there everyday from having first moved into Titchfield St, I now find the portions small in comparison to the prices. Very good for girlie breakfasts - coffee and warm cinnamon bunnage, or lunch where salady nibbles quite adequate - but dont make the mistake I made & take a hungry man there. (Meatballs size of rabbit droppings) Mugs are interesting and always a good talking point with clients - (don't know whether to drink from them or sit on them..) A fun experience but not great value for money if you really need to fill your boots. read more

One of my absolute favourite places in London. Super nice staff, must be the friendliest in London. The sandwiches are just to die for (roast beef, crayfish, shrimps, herring, meatballs, pates, gravlax, smoked salmon and ALOT mor), so are the desserts and other delicatessens! And the little grocery section is another thing that just makes this place perfect! read more

Nice atmosphere, although not a cozy one..but the food is nicely presented and is of very good quality. The only con is in the fact that altough being told I'm getting three items for 5&somthing, I was charged more because one of the dishes is considered a double dish, and no one made note of that until I reached the till. Other than that - very very nice, it's a refreshing choice of food. read more

Lovely place. Good food at reasonable prices. The deserts are amazing. The staff are super friendly and helpful if you have questions. The atmosphere is unique, relaxed and a little quirky. Definetely reccommended for a lunch when in town. A lovely change from the norm. read more

I have been twice for lunch and the hype is all true. Great food and atmosphere. It's always busy but people don't hog their tables too long after eating. I would thoroughly recommend it. read more

It is a very interesting place. I had same of their salmon and it was simply amazing-the best that I have ever tried.

I used here for Lunch - firstly very good value for money! At fair price, delicious modern Scandinavian dished are available. This is a café or delicatessen, rather than a restaurant, so best for light meal. read more

I went here with two friends. I thought the food was great. It reminded me of the Danish cafe in Bristol I used to be taken to all the time when I was a child. However one of my friends is having chemotherapy and cannot eat grainy bread. When she told them, they said there was nothing they could do the soup came with extremely grainy bread. End of. This was a bit odd as there was fairly normal white bread in some of the open sandwiches. I have no idea why they couldn't get her some to go with her soup. Very busy at lunchtime or just TMI perhaps? Still, I would recommend it to anyone who doesn't have issues about not being able to eat too much fibre. !!! Also don't turn up at 5pm expecting there to be some food left. Big mistake. read more

The Scandi Kitchen rocks! The food is great and the staff are brilliant fun and always willing to please. The meatball open sandwich and the curried herring are my favourite but don't forget about the hot foods too! It is a great place to nip in and say hello and grab a coffee, and its lovely to chill there. The shop sells allsorts of yummy scandinavian goodies. Even when you don't go in to eat, it is always a pleasure to pass by this place as the daily comments on the blackboard never fail to make you smile! read more

Great to have a place to buy some of my Norwegian favourites. I always get tempted by the food and cakes, so I need to come here for lunch soon. read more

This place is very cool, not only the best staff in the west end but just a cool place to chill out . The food is fresh & yummy, & the coffee cups are to cool for school! There is always a smile waiting for you, I hope other places are taking note! Also very smart eco take away cups, which is nice to see.check this place out! Kas 73you are stunning!!! read more

If you are looking for Scandinavian food.This is the place to go. They have all the traditional products from the northern countries. From the bread to the drinks. As a food enthusiastic, I always try new food. The sandwiches are fresh, delicious and have a particular taste that you won't find anywhere else/ read more

The best cafe! Amazing coffee, lovely staff, and good sweedetacular grub!

It's tough finding a little place to grab a small bite or snack in Central London without getting ripped off or going for a big meal. The Scandinavian Kitchen is just great. It's warm, friendly, inviting, every member of the staff make you feel welcome and the quality of the food is matched by the experience. You feel like your being welcomed into a little part of Scandinavia. read more
