Now I have been to several Espresso Houses just outside of Stockholm (all extremely good) but this is the first time in Stockholm itself - and to be sure we are talking about the same one, I believe this is the one sort of under NK; & I went just before Christmas so it was busy everywhere with shoppers
Well, I like the coffee and the muffins and while these places seem always to be busy, none of them are as close to scruffy and untidy as this one
There was - for such a big place - virtually no room to sit down (we took the last 2 seats once they & the table had been cleaned up), mainly because there were lots of women with children (many running loose) chatting with their mates, coffees long drunk, or because no-one had bothered to tidy up the mess left - the floor need a major sweep, or people just sitting with their laptops or simply lounging
This is all very well, but while it might be nice to be unhurried and sit their all day, it doesn't earn Espresso House money and its annoying for those who do want to have something to eat & drink
