When visiting Stockholm you have to take a “fika”. With other words, take a coffee and something sweet. All swedes fikar. Often two times a day – for example many workplaces have fika around 10 am and 15 pm and if you’re not a part of it you’re gonna get questions about your whereabouts at the time. And when you do fika, take the chance to have an innocent fikaflirt with someone from the staff -’cause there’s nothing like having a flirt to your coffee.

Gamla Enskede Bageri: My favorite fikaplace and so worth the trip by subway to the station “Sandsborg”, 15 minutes outside the centre of Stockholm. They do their own bakery, has a wall filled with different sorts of tea and coffee and a fikaenvoriment to die for.

Chokladkoppen: Stockholms most popular LGBT-coffee shop. Their chocolate is a well-known fact among the citizens and they also have a small selection of scrumptious patisseries. If you prefer a selection of scrumptious men you’ll get that also within the staff.

Winterviken: Isn’t just a great place to work on your tan and take a swim among the rocks, it’s has also a marvelous café where you can take your fika for the day.

Ett skafferi: Is placed in “Midsommarkransen” that’s known for having dykes living in every street corner. So if you’re the type that prefers combining pleasure with pleasure this is the place to hang around.

You shouldn’t do this if: You prefer the big all-the-same-coffee-house-chains like Starbucks and Wayne´s Coffee
You should do this if: You would like to do something typical swedish.
