Stockholm Coffee Map

Earlier this year I visited Stockholm just for a day and only one thing on my mind – to visit as many great coffee places as possible. I looked for them in blogs, forums, asked and mailed a few people and still found only four places, two of which I knew previously. Now that I’ve lived here for about two months and visited quite a few new coffee places I thought of creating a coffee map featuring all the them. I’ve also ranked these coffee places based on the coffees I’ve got.

Stockholm Coffee Map

Visit or regret afterwards - usually very good coffee, definitely a must for any coffee aficionado (Red pin on the map)

V Street Coffee (Vasagatan 38, T-centralen)
The only choice for morning cappuccino or afternoon ice latte in the central Stockholm is V Street Coffee, a fairly new café with a great focus on coffee. La Marzocco, daMatteo‘s coffee and baristas who know their coffee better than most others.

Kura Café (Torsgatan 31, T-bana S:t Eriksplan)

The only Antipodean coffee place in Stockholm – great coffee, great food, great people, great atmosphere. For a longer review, click here. Amazing brunch also on weekdays, definitely worth trying!

Drop Coffee (Wollmar Yxkullsgatan 10, T-bana Mariatorget)

Boasting with Synesso, espresso blend by daMatteo and very decent baristas, Drop is one of my favourite places to hang out, have a cup of drip coffee and chat with fellow coffee enthusiasts.

Johan & Nyström concept store (Swedenborgsgatan 7, Mariatorget)

(Disclaimer: J&N is my current employer but if I didn’t think they’re coffee is great I wouldn’t work for them) Johan & Nyström is the largest micro-roastery in Sweden and this concept store offers all their products. Very decent and fairly consistent coffee, especially the guest espresso (always something more exciting than the normal) and Stockholm’s only Aeropress bar are worth trying.

Flipping a coin – sometimes really good coffee, sometimes I refuse to pay. Depends a lot on barista, not very consistent but still worth trying. (Yellow pin on the map)

Mellqvist (Hornsgatan 78, Mariatorget and Rörstrandsgatan 4, S:t Eriksplan)

Coffee from Haugaard, a really high-end roaster, Synessos and Mazzers – every baristas’ daydream. Still, most of the baristas at Mellqvist fail to deliver the really high-end coffee. There are also a few good ones at both locations so the odds to get delicious coffee are fairly good.

Espressino (Götgatan 11, Slussen)

A stylish café on Södermalm’s busiest pedestrian street with coffee roasted by Johan&Nyström and Stockholm’s – to my knowledge – only Clover coffee machine. At the moment they have an Australian guest barista, Kiril, working and he certainly knows how to rock the coffee. I am, though, a little concerned what will happen to the quality of coffee when he leaves Sweden and travels back to the Antipodes.

Coffice (Tjärhovsgatan 5, Medborgarplatsen)

=Coffee + Office. Offering working spaces to rent as well as coffee by daMatteo. Interesting idea and location but not the most consistent coffee in town. Two espressos to try out for a very reasonable price, 10kr for asingle!

If you’re around - chances to get good coffee but don’t look for anything exceptional. Still better than many coffee places in Helsinki. (Green pin on the map)

Non Solo Bar (Odengatan 34, Odenplan and Rörstrandsgatan 4, S:t Eriksplan)

Two really popular Italian-inspired cafés using J&N’s coffee. A few good baristas (one is Öner Kulbay who also has his own roastery with really interesting philosophy and coffees) but the coffee isn’t to my taste – more of traditional Italian-style espresso with robusta roasted oily.
