Drop Coffee takes their brew very seriously. This hipster hangout roasts its own specialty beans. Enjoy an espresso-and-croissant takeout or settle down in the minimalistic café with your laptop.

This trendy espresso bar is jam-packed with coffee-addicts eager to get their daily vice. Kaffe serves artisanal coffee at a good pricing point along with pastries and sandwiches. Enjoy your espresso standing up Italian-style.

Mellqvist has a reputable reputation and is a popular melting pot from dawn 'til dusk. This artisanal espresso bar is open all day everyday, happily obliging customers' daily caffeine fixes. Their breakfast is infamous, as are their pastries and the menu also offers lighter meals.

Il Caffé has several branches and serves quality brew in an intimate, urban environment. Southern Italian vibes dominate: bold, earthy aromas punctuate the coffee. Bring your laptop and get some work done.

Mitt Café doesn't just boast delightfully relaxed neighbourhood café vibes, they also have really good coffee. It's made from beans from Lykke Kaffegårdar, which don't just taste good, they also do good thanks to their direct collaboration with coffee farmers. 

Organic, fair trade, limited edition and hand-roasted - it doesn't get much better than that. Based on the philosophy that quality brew is nothing that can be rushed, the beans are slowly roasted to perfection. Johan & Nyström deliver coffee all over the city to multiple reputable cafes and restaurants.

Kaffe's sister café on Bysistorget has a large outdoor seating area among the cherry trees which fills up quickly as soon as the sun makes an appearance. There's a warm, friendly atmosphere and you can drop by for a coffee at the bar, a lunchtime sandwich or treat yourself to one of their tempting cakes and pastries.

A little Italian oasis in Bibliotekstan where coffee lovers can find both top-notch espresso and various pastries and sandwiches. Hop up at one of the small round tables, take your coffee standing up out on the street or grab a take-away. There's also a branch of Sempre in the NK department store.

A roastery simply must have it's own coffee bar. At Black Honey Coffee Roasters they roast coffee beans all day and you can sample the result in their coffee bar, where you can also enjoy breakfast or cakes and pastries. In the evenings it transforms into a bistro, where you can eat dinner with Swedish and European flavours.
