The guide to vegan cafés in Stockholm

A passion for animals and the environment

This healthfood café opened in 2015 and there are branches in both Södermalm and Vasastan. You can eat and drink here with a clear conscience as everything they serve is made to the highest ethical and environmental standards. Mahalo works primarily with organic ingredients and you'll find everything from bowls and wraps to cold and hot dishes on the menu. The drinks list includes juices, smoothies and health shots.

Conscious eating

This healthfood café in Hornstull serves fika and food for anyone who cares about living a conscious, healthy lifestyle. Most of the food and the drinks on the menu are both raw and organic and there are masses of nutritious smoothies, simple, on-trend lunch dishes and even sweet treats such as raw cakes and pastries made without gluten, lactose or sugar.

Healthy eating made easy

The Norwegian healthfood concept Lett offers a healthy alternative to fastfood restaurants, whether you're on the go or want to sit down for a while and take a break. Enjoy salads, wraps, bowls, juices, smoothies and other nutritious meals and drinks, all made using locally grown and seasonal ingredients. Their aim is to get more people eating healthily.

Healthy lunch or fika

Enjoy a healthy snack or lunch among green palm leaves and richly patterned jungle wallpaper in this cosy little spot near Odenplan. (The name is short for My Vegan Regina – My vegan queen). The menu includes bowls, salads, smoothies, sweet things and other plant-based goodies that are good for you, and the planet.

Good for body and soul

Vegans have plenty to choose from at BodyBuddy. All ingredients are carefully selected to be good for both your body and the environment. Bowls, salads and wraps are the name of the game at BodyBuddy and, naturally, raw goodies for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Influences from other cuisines

Hermans serves plant-based dishes and desserts, with flavours and influences from several different cultures and cuisines. As well as a wide selection of homemade vegan desserts, you'll find an extensive drinks list with both warm and hot drinks. In the summer you can have a coffee out on their terrace and enjoy the stunning view of the city.

Completely vegan Sunday brunch

This hotel restaurant lays out a completely vegan brunch every Sunday. Try delicious vegan dishes made from pure produce. How do homemade coconut yoghurt, acai, avocado sandwiches, sweet potato fries, falafel waffles and smoothies sound? Their usual weekday lunch menu always includes at least one vegan option.

In the heart of the city

You'll find this green option on the second floor of the Åhléns City department store, perfect for anyone looking for a healthy break in their shopping trip or just passing by. Sate your hunger with a vegan salad, or a breakfast roll if you're out and about early on.

Completely vegan café

At Kafé 44 you can have a coffee, a sandwich or some tasty vegan food without breaking the bank. The café, with its focus on music and politics, opened back in 1984 and is run as a non-profit enterprise. All the food and fika they serve is vegan and on Sundays they lay out a brunch buffet. If you fancy something slightly more substantial, they also serve (vegan) burgers during the week.

Just like a living room

There are branches of Vurma in both Vasastan and Hornstull. As well as sweet things, like decadent vegan brownies with coconut frosting, you'll find smoothies and freshly squeezed orange juice on the menu. It feels just like hanging out in someone's sitting room.

Oriental influences

Blå Lotus is a well-loved favourite that always offers vegan options. Cosy decor contributes to the relaxed atmosphere, with eastern influences. Café is a true classic and has been around for more than 20 years. Everything is made from scratch and vegans can choose from salads, sandwiches and more. The staff are very helpful, so feel free to ask.
