Fika is a notoriously Swedish word that is practically non-translatable into any other language. The Brits pride themselves on afternoon tea, the Swedes on fika. This coffee break is often synonymous with coffee - no surprises there - and cinnamon buns, but not restricted by it. Stockholm boasts an abundance of cafés ranging from cool NYC-style coffee shops, to kitschy hangouts and classic bakeries. Many cafés are open from dusk till dawn offering breakfast, soup, salads and of course decadent pastries. We have created this guide to the best cafés in Stockholm to enable your next fika-fix.

City bakery using cold fermentation
City bakery Brot bakes everything on site using the so-called cold fermentation method, which means mixing dough the day before and letting them develop their flavours in the fridge for 12–16 hours. It makes for loaves with a crisp exterior and delicious interior. But they're not only experts in bread, they also bake cakes and pastries and make ice cream that can be enjoyed on the spot.
