For renting bikes, the process is a 5 star, but the bikes are sub-average and wiggly wobbly making biking around Djurgården not too easy. When riding the bikes, the seat moves and needs continual adjustment. Although not the bike's fault, the trail is crowded with joggers, strollers, lovers, and walking groups making navigation tricky. Finding Sjöcaféet is easy. While crossing the bridge, you can see paddle boats and kayaks for rent. Head over to that area and you will see a bank of bikes waiting to be rented. Although the building says Royal Djurgården Visitor Center, it's Sjöcaféet. After telling the friendly gal that I'm interested in renting a bike, she tells me it's $8/hour and there are various free maps and other info located at the desk. After paying, you receive a key to unlock the bike for riding and locking it when not riding. To store your stuff, all the bikes have front baskets. Because the trail is so crowded, you will not be able to enjoy the scenery, but rather making sure you don't run into someone. read more

Sjöcaféet - Although the window says Royal Djurgården Visitor Center, the official business name is Sjöcaféet (pronounced where-café-et) - Rafting/Kayaking Near Me - Stockholm, Alberta

Impressed the heck out of my friend when I took her here this evening. The restaurant/cafe is surrounded by glass all around with a good city view next to the lake. The beef stroganoff was tasty and so was the shrimp, tomato pizza. The waitresses were attentive, and checking in on us from time to time. The service is way better than the snotty Italian trattoria in the city where you have to reserve in advance and pay twice as much for the same dish. Also, free wifi read more

I really do not understand how this coffee shop can get more than 2 stars. I would like to point out that I am writing this review in English for all the tourists coming to Stockholm. This place is a tourist trap, and what makes it even worse is the fact that the tourist information at Djurgården is in the same building. Yes, the view is spectacular and as many other tourist traps this coffee shop is right where a lot of tourists will come. There is no doubt that they will succeed mainly because they are located on such a good spot, but it is still according to me shamlishly bad. The newly renovated coffee shop looks modern and fancy from the outside but the design inside is boring and is crammed with chairs everywhere to fit as many customers as possible. I do not even want to get into details about their sweets and food. Avoid this place if you can, Stockholm has so much more to offer. read more

Sjöcaféet has a great location alongside the bay Djurgårdsbrunnsviken, and this opening sentence was really just an excuse to use Djurgårdsbrunnsviken. Wife and I were doing the tourist thing around Skansen and the Vasa Museum. While stopping for lunch, we decided to check this place out. Sjöcaféet has three parts, a coffee shop on the top floor, a bike and kayak rental station near the shore and a cafeteria style restaurant which we went to. You grab a tray, pick your drinks and sides, order you food and head out to the outdoor seating, with a nice view of some of Strandvägen. My wife ordered Swedish Meatballs, because of course, and I decided on a burger. The burger was okay, but the Swedish meatballs were amazing. My wife also really enjoyed their lemon dessert, but during our lunch, we got a visit from the birds and the bees. As in actual birds and bees. The birds were fine. They would take their bread, burrow in the dirt and eat it. The bee was most assuredly not fine. He kept hovering over us, inviting us to give him a reason. Bothersome bee aside, this place made for a nice lunch alongside the water, and it's close enough to the attractions in the area for quick lunches. read more

We came to eat at the restaurant located in Ostermalm area of Stockholm. The area is easy to get around and walkable. We had traditional Swedish meatballs of course it was amazing and great supplement for us visiting Sweden. We rented a kayak as well, it was fun and good experience but a little scary for me because of other ships passing through picked up the water current. We also sat outside for the restaurant and lots of bees were swarming around. Other than that it was a great and positive experience for us. read more

We came here for a rest and some food after sightseeing in Stockholm's city center. The location and the view is fantastic. I had the shrimps salad, which was very nice and a generous portion. The meatballs and jacked potato also received positive feedback. You order at the bar and pay there. The food is brought to the table and came after a short wait. read more

Verdict: Hell NO, For food or beverage I would ratter look elsewhere! I won't be charged nor do I think it's cool to pay just for the settings or a nice package!! Pros: - Rentals, bike and boat. - Clean public bathrooms. - Nice outdoor sitting. - Location. Cons: - Most thing food/drink related. Nor the quality or the quantity of what is served justifies the prices asked for it. - Tourist trap. - All hot beverages such as lattes or cappuccinos are made in an automated machine even though you are asked to pay barrista prices! - Most sweets such as cookies or cakes here feel and probably are semi-finished and brought from outside vendors even though you are asked to pay bakery on site prices! read more

Why 4 stars for what looks like a very touristic cafeteria ? Simply because it delivers well what it supposed to. Nicely set by the water, clean , functional it offers nice beers at one counter and good typical swedish dishes at another. Try the meatballs if you want something hearty or have the shrimp sandwich, expensive but worth it. Very convenient for a day at the great museums and parks on this island. read more

Ordered pizza, meatballs and a Burger. Burger was burnt beyond belief, meatballs had big unknown chunks in them. Pizza was ok, wouldn't bet it was made in a real pizza oven as it was kinda floppy. Not worth the price - look elsewhere is you have the time read more

I can't say enough about how good the food was here today. The service was amazing the quality of the food was wonderful. Our entire experience was just fabulous. The ambience was the best part, right on the water. We loved it! read more

We stopped in here after visiting the Vasa museum. It wasn't bad for a quick bite to eat. The restaurant is fairly casual. I tried the swedish meatballs and they were pretty good. My fiance had a pizza and it was actually quite large. Decent restaurant with good service. read more

This café is located very central to all the museums on Djurgården and is what some might call a tourist trap due to the high prices. Despite that I thought the ambience, view on the water and the great pizza was much better than expected. read more

Pleasant café, but make sure you get an explanation of how to adjust the footrests _before_ you launch.

I like this place in the summer, as it has a fantastic location and yummy smoothies. Food is nothing special, but gets the job done. There are not so many gluten free options, but you can always find baked potatoes with some shrimps. If you are around Djurgarden and you are looking for a quick lunch stop, this is it! read more

Went in on a cold day, two people from my table ordered pizza, and I was going to order for myself when I was asked to go eat outside because I had food from THEIR outdoor kiosk, even though I explained it was cold for my small children, and the food was from their adjacent establishment but same proprietor, AND I WANTED TO ORDER something from inside for myself and my other guests were also ordering, left to eat outside, and a few minutes they came to apologize but a little too late. read more

Plus for location. But 159 SEK for a dry piece of salmon with thee sad pre-boiled potatoes?! Dillmayo in a plastic cup? Tasted like it had been heated in the microwave. read more
