I had heard the Löfbergs' coffee brand was considered a bit "cheap" to Swede's, but I honestly…read moredidn't feel it very much at their new cafe in Östermalm! The interior was decorated so lovely you would never guess it was by a regular ole' cheap grocery store brand! I stopped in here one day as a new alternative on my way to work at the Starbucks across the street and was pleasantly surprised at how nice everything was. I was wondering what another coffee shop was thinking putting itself right next-door to the most famous giant world-dominating coffee chain, but I now see that it has quite a different attitude to the space. Where Starbucks can be a bit commercial, this place feels somewhat luxurious. I found the couches pretty comfortable and the electric outlets plentiful. The wifi was working just fine too! I think I probably would recommend them to get some more ergonomic regular cafe table seating for us laptop lovers, though. You could only choose between sitting on a tall teetery barstool or a low sinking sofa. That is really the only big complaint I have about the place. It's hard to get down to business if your not at a comfortable angle when using a laptop. The good news is that despite all of that it was still very cosy and quiet. I wasn't really overly excited by the food options. I think Starbucks and Espresso house beat the place by a mile in that department. I would think if they were going for a luxurious feel, that the food would be even more impressive than those places, but it was a bit of a let down. However, I did find a gluten free Kladdkaka and a lactose-free latte that met my needs. They had quite a few different options of bean types for you to choose from when making your coffee selection. The beans I choose for my latte were just a tiny bit bitter. Which, I think is a tell-tale sign of cheap coffee. So, maybe there was a small hint that this wasn't the highest quality coffee Sweden has to offer, but I thought it was somewhat comparable to what I've had at Starbucks (also, not the best coffee.) Overall, if your looking for somewhere to grab an ok latte and a little laptop time... swing on by! Starbucks is sometimes a madhouse filled with loud tourists so maybe this would be a nice alternative. =)

Cute little ice cream and speciality chocolate shop in Karlstad next to Galleria Duvan…read more They have some interesting flavors like lemon/licorice. Got 3 scoops of ice cream - hazelnut, yogurt, and italian chocolate. Hazelnut was to die for, but the others were good as well. Pretty good value for 42 SEK (~5 USD) for the quality and portion size. Also selected 3 chocolates for 26 SEK (~3 USD) - white chocolate rhubarb, sichuan pepper, and chocolate caramel - to enjoy later. Will update review after trying these. Bottom Line: Try a scoop at this place near Galleria Duvan. Hazelnut = nom nom.

Heavenly ice cream, artisan coffee. But to my mind the coffee could have been stronger. I had the…read morelemon sherbert and some other fruity flavours. My friends and I tested all the presso coffees and I found them all to be lacking in flavour. I'd recommend letting it steep for one more minute. Had an espresso as well, not perhaps the best I've had but passable. The focus is and should be the chocolates and the ice cream (if memory serves me well I saw some baked gooda as well). Yes, you should try more than one - you should try as many as possible. I still toss and turn at night wondering what the coconut ice cream would have tasted like.

Amazing coffee tastings and such a cute cafe. Really enjoyed my experience and I would love to go…read moreback!
