Fika is the cozy tradition of enjoying a coffee and a treat with friends or colleagues. Let us show you our favorite spots in Gothenburg to experience this Swedish habit.
1. Da Matteo
Handsdown our favorite spot! Or should we say spots? Da Matteo has several branches in downtown Gothenburg. Our favorite is the one on Magasingatan, with its own roastery and bakery. A unique place with really good coffee, pastries and lunch options. In summer, the terrace is a great place to hang out, filled with locals and cozy background music.
2. Café Azalea
This café is the perfect spot for a fika while visiting the urban park Slottskogen. It's a great place for fika, lunch and ice cream in a cozy environment. In the summer they have a sunny terrace as well. Sip your coffee while looking out over de crossroad where people jog, kids play and penguins get fed. A great place characterized by their homemade products!
3. Konditori Kampanilen
This modern craft bakery is located in the bustling district of Majorna and is definitely worth a visit. Here you will find classic Swedish pastries, beautiful tasty cakes and good sourdough bread. Plus good coffee, of course. Sweden dedicates the month of February to a specific pastry, the Semla. And Kampanilen is the place to get the best one!
4. Kafé Magasinet
A truly hidden gem (behind big doors) with a backyard vibe. Kafé Magasinet has wide opening hours, allowing you to go there from breakfast to a drink in the evening. This cozy and light café in Linné is always a good idea.
5. Café Öbergska
This café is actually not located in the city but on the island of Styrsö, in Gothenburg's southern archipelago. A cozy and stylish cafe that is open almost all year round. With their good food and tasty cakes, it is a must visit if you go to Styrsö.
6. Brogyllen
A popular spot right in the middle of the center. Here you will find the best prinsestårta in Gothenburg. But not just that, they have a wide range of cakes, pastries and fantastic breakfast options.
So whether you're a seasoned fika lover or trying it for the first time, Göteborg has plenty of fantastic spots to offer. Just stroll through the city, and you'll quickly come across one of our favorites!
