Named after the Armenian who opened Paris’s first coffee stall in 1672, this Vasastan favorite carries forward a pioneering spirit. The three Seropian siblings (also from Armenia) started here around 2013, grew the café into a roastery, and now run three locations. Pastries from Compass Bakery and lunch options.
Award-winning café at Artipelag art museum, a sophisticated day-trip destination east of Stockholm. Annie Hesselstad and her team bake everything from scratch, creating new signature pastries for each exhibition. The word “båda” refers to the exposed rock inside the building.
Step into the 1950s at this retro café in the suburb of Midsommarkransen. Near Konstfack art school, students and locals gather over espresso from Drop Coffee beans and sandwiches (the tuna melt is superb). The building once housed a fishmonger; it reopened as a café in 2015.
When Ester Nordhammar opened this konditori in 1928, Swedish women had held the vote for barely a decade and female business owners were scarce. She employed only women and ran the place until her death in 1961. Crystal lamps, velvet chairs, and princess cakes carry her legacy forward.
Founded in 2011 by Johan Montan Ahlgren and Øner Kulbay, this roastery moved to Slakthusområdet in 2020. The industrial setting suits the uncompromising approach to sourcing and small-batch roasting. Coffee and open sandwiches are served mere meters from the drum.
This konditori with in-house bakery is set inside an 1867 summer villa on Lake Mälaren that once welcomed prominent guests: King Oscar II visited twice; authors Selma Lagerlöf and Henrik Ibsen came for the salon gatherings. The shrimp sandwich and princess cake make great fuel for a hike along the lakeshore.
