Cafés

Fika and café culture

Stockholm has a vibrant café culture. Fika is more than just a cup of coffee — it is a way of life. Explore neighbourhood cafés in Södermalm, Vasastan and Östermalm.

Cafés by Djurgårdsbron

A great tip is the café right by Djurgårdsbron. Here are some favourites:

Bryggan — the large restaurant and outdoor terrace right at the bridge on the Djurgården side. Coffee, fika, lunch and a fantastic view of the water.
Stockholm 1897 by Monika — a newer bakery, café and restaurant in the same area, at Galärvarvsvägen 2, focused on fika and Swedish food.
