where to find the best coffee in stockholm

The Swedes enjoy coffee so much that they make it part of their lifestyle and take ‘fika’, which is literally a Swedish coffee break. 

Fika is a state of mind and many Swedes consider this essential and make time for this every day. It means making time for friends and colleagues to share a cup of coffee (or tea) and a small bite to eat. 

We love this idea and we’ve listed where you can find the best coffee in Stockholm and enjoy fika too.

7) Konditori Ritorno

This vintage cafe in Vasatan is ‘old school’. It was established in 1959, and Konditori Ritorno sits on the edge of the city. You’ll notice the large mirrors and old furniture here and it almost transports you back in time. The café serves traditional filtered coffee, so don’t expect the fancy stuff if you stop in to visit.
