Best Fika in Stockholm you just have to Try!
Stockholm is home to the wonderful down time pleasure of fika and so we’ve put together the best fika you just have to try! It’s all about that warm and wonderful experience of having a coffee and pastry to unwind against the delights of Sweden’s capital.
In between cycling or seeing the sights during a long weekend stay adding a fika experience means you can seriously slow down to enjoy that well deserved break.
It’s well worth a chance to seek some of the best Stockholm cafes to maximise your stay while having that relaxed moment alone or with friends.
Whether alone, as a couple or with friends we’re providing our take on the very best fika hotspots in Stockholm during your stay in 2024… nom nom!
1. Sundbergs Konditori
Sundbergs Konditori will transport you to a yesteryear world of regal charm. The cafe is considered to be the oldest operating cafe in Stockholm, being established in 1785.
Set in Gamla Stan you’ll be greeted by friendly staff and an interior combining grand chandeliers, dark wood panelling plus pictures of the Swedish monarchy!
You must try their hot chocolate which is delicious with a thick yet smooth texture. And of course don’t forget to accompany your beverage with a princess cake that’s both fresh and flavoursome.
You can also choose to sit outside on one the front tables and fika alfresco soaking up the sights and sounds of Gamla Stan Square.
Fika here has a fanciful feel that might bring some similarity to an afternoon tea experience. Yet it could be the thing needed to get you out of your comfort zone and enjoy that fika moment while watching the world go by.

2. Cafe Pascal
Cafe Pascal serves up a treat for couples looking for a more minimal Stockholm interior aesthetic ensuring your fika is a real treat.
We love how the exposed brickwork, plants and overall minimalist design makes Cafe Pascal one of the most visually cool fika hot spots in the city.
It exudes a Stockholm hipster atmosphere and the chance to add to your Insta / Tik Tok post collection will make everyone at home feel a little jealous.
Firstly the coffee is fabulous and is well sourced from the likes of Love Coffee and even the iconic Tim Wendelboe roastery to ensure the beans have a unique blend and freshness.
Pastries are equally good and you have the choice of indulging in a cinnamon or cardomom buns which were also super soft and fluffy.

3. Johan & Nyström
Johan & Nyström is a coffee haven split over multiple floors and one of the best fika Stockholm cafes to visit during your stay.
Coffee connoisseurs can rejoice as baristas are more than happy to help with the many different coffee options available.
They foster direct relationships with coffee farmers ensuring sustainable highest quality beans for your drinking pleasure.
You can find a full range of coffees at your disposal ranging from an espresso through to your favourite oat latte.
The pastries are also just as worth trying however do see if you can get yourself a Taleggio with Apple and Beetroot on Rye which is simply delicious!
We certainly found this to be the case and it was a definite brownie point in my book.

4. Drop Coffee
Drop Coffee deserves to be on this best fika list for the sheer quality and dedication going into their coffee brewing.
Co-owner Joanna Alm has also represented Drop Coffee at countless Coffee Roasting Championships reinforcing their credentials as a serious a fika favourite for many.
What sets them apart the sourcing of high quality beans from Colombia, Bolivia and Ethiopian farms ensuring that only the best will do.
Clearly this should also be the ideal pit stop if you’re keen on trying new coffee roasting flavours and like idea of enjoying the ambience of an independent cafe in Stockholm.
The interior had a simple yet stylish look with lovely furnishings and wood panelling to match for a very laid back atmosphere.
I personally enjoyed the rich slow roasted taste of their latte with oat milk, you can really taste the difference here and it makes for such an appealing fika experience.
The pastry options seemed limited compared to other cafes but don’t miss out on the Semla cakes which are just so soft creamy and just delicious!

5. Mellqvist
Mellqvist provides a simple yet effective fika option with great coffee and pastries situated in the residential neighbourhood of Birkastan.
On a warm day this is the perfect cafe to just sit outside and just enjoy your fika treat with a delightful coffee and cake!
I would recommend the latte here which was smooth and with a good balance of milk to espresso.
Pairing your coffee with a cardomom bun is a real treat with a beautiful pastry and a sweetness that hits the spot with your morning brew!
