Vete-Katten

My first foodie adventure in Stockholm was this bakery and I came back 3 more times! They have the best variety of baked goods, breakfast items, desserts and drinks coffee, tea and alcoholic ! The service is always so good and they are so polite. I loved the old time feel yet the capture a little modern into it too.
They have a few different locations. All are great . I loved the first one I went to with the outdoor garden.
I had my first Swedish cinnamon bun here and that is pretty much my go to here. I also loved the apple muffin . The coffee is nice and strong and served in their lovely cups and their bubbly is a good treat with pastries too surprisingly .
They have counter service, to go, or you can do the sit down service too.
Definitely seek these bakeries out if you're in the city. You won't be sorry! This was my first Fika and my last in Stockholm and a tradition I truly loved! The central train station has a kiosk of the bakery and I got some cinnamon buns to go home with me too.

We were so excited to be in Stockholm Sweden and to go to a very famous Fika spot. We loved it! The inside was like being transported through time and space to an old fashioned elegant time. We ordered a slice of Princess Torta and I almost cried it tasted so good. The cream was so light and yummy. Each bite with a sip of strong coffee was like a dream come true. It is not a sit down place. You order at the counter and then sit down. I would have liked to have been served but it was still a really special experience. I have a very short video of it on YouTube if you are interested.

How freaking cute is this place!? High ceilings, with beautiful light fixtures, light and bright.

We came here several times during our trip and it was always packed, that's how you know it's good!

The staff was always friendly and kind as we attempted to order. Every pastry and cake we had was out of this world outstanding. You absolutely must get the princess cake. Light and fresh it was the perfect afternoon sweet for Fika!

I seriously dream of these pastries and would come back to Stockholm just for some of that princess cake!

They don't have Chai latte or matcha latte. They don't have iced tea either.
But pastries are lovely and I like that they have a lot of seats inside. You can actually sit down and relax.

Delicious place for Fika!

Excellent and quick service. There is a wide variety of pastries, cakes, breads, buns, sandwiches, coffee drinks and smoothies. Everything is very fresh. For a late breakfast, I had a cappuccino and cardamom sweet bun which rich in flavor and taste. If you like cardamom, I would highly recommend it. Plenty of spacious seating indoor. Great place to meet friends for coffee and a treat. Highly recommend it.

Coming straight out of Arlanda airport, Vette-Katten was our first stop. For anyone that needs a coffee or pastry after a long flight, Vette-Katten is the perfect place.

My friend and I were not the only ones who came straight from the airport (or going to the airport) as there were a few customers with luggage. There were more than enough tables to grab a seat and I went to order food for me and my friend. We ordered the princess cake, white chocolate mousse, the skagen toast, a latte and a capuccino.

I don't know what all these other yelp reviewers are talking about, but the princess cake was made for royalty. I'm usually not a fan of fondant, but this fondant was different. The fondant isn't too sweet, has a pleasant tartness, and complements the fluffy cream and fresh raspberries. I was tempted, but properly dissuaded, from bringing a few slices back to New York.

Aside from the perfect princess cake, the white chocolate mousse is super soft and balanced, the skagen toast was refreshing, and the coffee was pretty good. Overall, I think Vete-Katten shines when it comes to their pastries.

The only difficult part of ordering in Vette-Katten is that I couldn't read anything and had to point to things/ask lots of questions. This wouldn't be so bad if there weren't a lot of people waiting behind us. If we did more research beforehand, I would've tried the cloudberry dessert instead of the white chocolate mousse (which is more of a universal dessert). Despite that, the workers are really friendly, helpful, and patient.

I could see myself grabbing a coffee and a pastry alone or with friends if I lived in the area. There is a casual coziness despite a lot of people coming in and out. You won't be pressured to leave as there are just as many groups having relaxed conversations over tea and pastries.

I'll continue to dream about Swedish pastries and Fika until the time comes to visit again.

Here are 85 characters about the Black Cat cafe in Stockholm (regardless of location). It's an institution. It's held up all these years because they're doing things RIGHT. Anytime I find myself in Stockholm, you can be assured that I will try to get to Vete-Katten at least ONCE per day for Fika.

Every cafe should model itself on this place, seriously. It's great.

As one of the first breakfast/meals that we had in Sweden, we stopped by here. We just had a cinnamon bun and the Princess cake. I enjoyed the cinnamon bun, which wasn't too sweet which I really appreciated. If America had this, I could see myself eating this over the American version just for the reduced amount of sugar.

The princess cake was good, but the fondant wasn't the best. In general I think fondant isn't the best. If they left the fondant off I would have enjoyed it a lot more. A nice cream on top and it would've been perfect for me, but sadly it was fondant which meh.

Overall, I enjoyed Vete-Katten and these type of cafes are not as rare in America, but by far the food I feel like is better and overall atmosphere. If we come back I think we could spend a little longer here and take our time while sipping coffee. I think though there are so many cafes, but I thought this place had a lot of seating and would be great for big groups.

This is a popular local cafe. It is bright and vibrant. I did not give five stars because it gets very crowded and busy thus slowing down service and making it a louder space than ai would like. However given that it is a city cafe this is to be expected it's just not something I prefer.
By far the pastries in this cafe are divine! There are so many selections to chose from but I have had several (yes, I have gone more than once) and none of them disappointed me. Pastries with cream are creamy with the perfect texture and sweetness. While pastries with spices were a perfect blend of flavors with nothing overwhelming but balanced to enhance the treats. There are cold sandwiches that are a delightful quick lunch treat but the most delicious menu item I enjoyed was the ham and cheese quiche. It was magnificent! It was served hot with a cold crisp salad on the side a wonderful combo.

This place was so good, I made it a point to visit once a day during my weeklong stay in the city. Their grilled sandwiches with ham and cheese are ridiculously good, it's legit one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I've ever had, the Dijon mustard in it brings it to a whole another level. Princess cake and Smultron were my favorite sweets I tried, although you can't go wrong with any of them.

Service was fantastic. As a non Swedish speaker, I was able to order and communicate with the staff. Ambiance was great, I was able to secure a seat for myself every time I visited. From the looks of it, seemed like a very popular spot for first dates among the locals!

Overall a must visit for anyone in the city!
