We stopped here for lunch. We enjoyed fresh orange juice, broccoli and cheese quiche and finished off with the best coconut brownies we have ever tasted. Well worth a visit

When I travel I don't normally go to the same restaurant more than once. Even if it's really good. Normally I do this so I can have the most amount of unique and wonderful culinary experiences on one trip as possible. This place was so...good it made me break that rule. Their cinnamon buns will forever make me question why we make them the way we do in North America. They were so moist, fluffy, and void of any hard parts that cut up your palette, or gallons of overly sweet and artificial icing. They were folded together almost like a more compact pretzel, and this made it much easier to eat, especially on the run. Their fresh made orange and pomegranate juices were utterly delicious. Best I ever had. I must say my expectations were somewhat low to begin. I wasn't expecting a cafe in the heart of the most touristy part of Stockholm to be so authentic, and have such a high standard of quality. Cafe Schweizer thoroughly exceeded those expectations in every rite.More

We were looking for some hot food and cappuccino for breakfast, which can be hard to find in Stockholm except in big hotels. They had a quiche which they heated which was good and an excellent cappuccino. It was quite busy. Their advertized eggs and...smoked fish were not available. We were happy with the choice.More

Prawn salad was ok/ average (although odd presentation as avocado was sliced with a skin still on). Good fresh orange juice. Waiter had a little accident at the register spilling OJ on my wallet, it happens. But then another waiter started dusting the animal cloths,...that are on the seats. All of them, even taking the one that was on the spare seat in my table! I had to leave at this point, surely dusting these should happen when cafe is not open?More

We came here to experience our first fika! The barista was lovely, introduced the various cakes to us on offer, and we plumped for cinnamon croissant (this cafe's speciality) and two cafe lattes. They're served in bowls - a very quirky touch! The latte was...simply gorgeous, very creamy and mild, and we both loved the croissants - very unusual but very flavourful and much needed after a morning's walk in the snow. Check out the messages people leave behind - the walls and ceiling are full of visitors' signatures! Spare ceiling tiles are propped up for you to sign (and are installed after they're filled up), so of course we signed with the date we visited. Would definitely come again.More

Charming little cafe at the entrance to the old city. They have some specialties such as Lax Pie, apple pie, carrot cake and mint tea with orange, lemon and ginger, and you can have freshly squished orange juice. Recommended!

The food is good quality and lots of options. Prices are ~normal for Stockholm (only orange juice is overpriced for just an ordinary normal unwatered orange juice, I didn't understand stellar reviews) But I had to ask the lady to explain me about every potentially...interesting option and it's price (you may call me a control freak but I just don't like to commit to anything without learning the price first). I felt very awkward having to spend all that time in front of the queue, and the lady has been clearly irritated by me. It's so strange. Why not labelling what you sell? At least the names and the prices? I bet there are standard options, even if the exact list is different each day. I would have enjoyed this place much more if I didn't have to engage in that lengthy conversation with the clearly irritated lady in front of the queue. However if you are okay to just point to the unknown partially visible item(s) and pay whatever you are asked to pay, it could be the place for you.More

So many times you have high expectations for a great tasting fresh juice to just be disappointed in a watery, tasteless drink. Well, that's not what you get here. The juice was fantastic. Great flavor and just the right sweetness. Perfect for a stroll through...Gamla Stockholm.More

Gamla Stan & Riddarholmen
Gamla Stan is Stockholm’s historic old town and home
to the Swedish Royal Palace. It’s the most central
island of Stockholm and accompanied by the small
island of Riddarholmen, mainly known for its famous
Riddarholm Church. Gamla Stan tends to be a bit
touristy at times but is definitely worth visiting:
take a stroll past the well-preserved buildings and
through the small (and also Sweden’s narrowest)
