Can someone tell me how I would pronounce the name of this place? From the outside it shows 'dubbelw' which is even more confusing. Then I read it to myself and I want to say Café Dubbel Double-Yoo or if it's like the French would, Café Dubbel Double-Vay. But I know that can't be right because it sounds stupid with the 'double' twice. Then I realize that the Swedes may pronounce their letter 'W' as 'Veh' or 'Vee' or whatever they would say, which means it would work. However, this confuses me further because how would they pronounce their letter 'V'.
Minus one star for confusing the fuck out of me. Just kidding.
This place is right down the street from Non Solo Bar (previously reviewed), and if Non Solo's single flaw is that they don't have enough seating, then this place is a great second choice.
Came here today, weather was beautiful. Inside the place is a true testament to Swedish interior design. I felt like I was in the movie Sleeper (Woody Allenif you haven't seen it, go rent itfreaking hilarious). Lots of white. Minimalist. Very Euro. A little cold. Reminds me more of a club and I felt like I should've been in my Prada sunglasses and high-end Guess jeans and FCUK shirt with a huge hole down the side, and high on e. But alas I wasn't. I was wearing Lucky Brand jeans. What an American turd I am.
So anyway, I opted to go outside where there were about 25 tables outside capitalizing on the massive width of the sidewalk. Although nearly every table was taken, I took a cappuccino and a piece of cheesecake in the early afternoon and just sat there. The cheesecake was kinda meh. It tasted like the pre-made boxed kind. The cappuccino was good though. Definitely a great place for coffee. read more
