The guide to Stockholm cafés open in the evenings

Gildas on Nytorget is a popular Södermalm institution with plenty of regulars. People pop in throughout the day for breakfast, lunch and dinner, or just for a coffee and snack. The interiors are warm and delightfully kitsch, with French/Moroccan influences.

You'll find this café and konditori right next to Vasaparken in Vasastan. Famous for their semlor Lenten buns and good coffee, it's been a popular spot since the Thirties. While the menu has been updated since then with hot dishes, sandwiches, salads and a licence to serve wine and beer, the traditional konditori atmosphere remains.

Right next door to the exclusive boutique Nathalie Schuterman, you'll find Café Albert, a cosy little spot that's well-known among Stockholmers for their late opening hours. They're open until 1am at the weekends, perfect if you're feeling peckish in the early hours. They also have an outdoor eating area on Birger Jarlsgatan.

Café Fåtöljen on Hornsgatan has generous opening hours and a wide selection of cakes and pastries and simple food. There's plenty of space with seats on two floors, perfect if you want to sit separately or if you're a larger group.

Café Fix, which opened in 1910, is one of Stockholm's oldest cafés. In 2019 the café underwent a complete renovation, although many of the original details were retained. They serve hearty main courses, soups and salads and cakes and pastries all day.
