Chokladkoppen: The Amazing Cafe on Stockholm’s Postcards [2026]
An amazing place appears almost in every Stockholm postcard you see. No, I’m not going to talk about ABBA the Museum now. The place I am about to introduce you is located right in these iconic buildings in Gamla Stan that everyone knows: It’s called Chokladkoppen.

This cozy café is located in one of the iconic yellow buildings in Gamla Stan, Stockholm’s charming old town. It’s one of the best cafés I’ve ever visited, offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere and an impressive selection of sweet treats. And yes, you guessed it: I am a huge fan of sweets and desserts!
Gamla Stan: A Timeless Gem
Gamla Stan is one of the most amazing places on Earth! Walking through its narrow cobblestone streets, you can feel the history seep through every corner. Here, in the heart of this historic area, you’ll find Chokladkoppen—a perfect spot to pause and indulge in some of the best goodies Stockholm offers.
Chokladkoppen Through the Seasons
I’ve been fortunate enough to experience Chokladkoppen in both summer and winter wile doing a solo female travel in Sweden. While the vibe remains warm and inviting, the experience varies with the seasons. In summer, it’s common for people to sit outside on the terrace, soaking in the sunshine and enjoying the lively atmosphere of Stortorget Square. The café becomes a hive of activity, with visitors and locals alike savoring delicious pastries and sipping refreshing drinks.
During winter, the scene transforms into a cozy retreat from the cold. The café’s interior, filled with warm lighting and a homely ambiance, offers the perfect escape. People huddle near the heaters with steaming mugs of hot chocolate, finding comfort in the café’s snug environment.
What Can You Find at Chokladkoppen?
The menu at Chokladkoppen is a dessert lover’s dream. Some of the goodies you can find include the raspberry pies, as seen in the picture shared above, and my absolute favorite—white hot chocolate. This drink is a must-try, especially during the chilly months. While I’m not usually a fan of white chocolate, the hot white chocolate at Chokladkoppen is an exception. It’s a rich, velvety beverage that’s simply mandatory when you’re in Stockholm. Whether it’s summer or winter, stopping by for a sip of this delicious drink is a must.
I wanted to talk a bit deeper about my favorite treats. You need to try the cinnamon rolls there, which many Stockholm locals say are a typical Swedish treat.
Other Treats to Enjoy
Let’s talk about some more of my favorite treats at Chokladkoppen. The cinnamon rolls here are phenomenal—many locals swear by them as a classic Swedish treat. But that’s not all. Chokladkoppen also offers a variety of hot dishes that you might want to try. Their diverse menu features sandwiches, soups, and salads alongside their famous sweets. Whether you’re in the mood for something savory or have a sweet tooth like me, you’ll find something to love here.
Is there anything better than this?
The Location: Impossible to Miss
The location of Chokladkoppen is impossible to miss. Situated right in the heart of Gamla Stan, it’s housed in the yellow building that graces so many of Stockholm’s postcards. The café’s picturesque setting makes it a popular spot for photography and a relaxing break while exploring the old town.

My favorite is hot white chocolate as well! Even though I haven`t seen a drop of it in England…
Depends where I`m travelling, but in England there is a chain of coffee shops (like Starbucks) called Costa. I always stop by one when I`m travelling, especially in London or Edinburg – the cups of hot chocolate are large and always put some drops of black chocolate over the cream!
Usually I`m trying to find those little cozy and intimate coffee shops to make me feel like home surrounded by my friends, at least for a little while.
Lucky you! I mostly travel in Africa and to be frank I havent found any good coffee shops when was dealing with sweet tooth. At least not comparable to what we are used to in the West. So i usually end up with passion juice.
This food looks amazing! I need an extended european trip. Maybe one day!
Ah I always see these buildings in pictures and now I know where they are. Thanks for sharing!
I was going to scratch off Stockholm from my list of places to visit before I leave Europe, but now you’ve just added it back on! Thanks for that! hihi
Im glad I did that! Stockholm is one of my favorite places in Europe, even though is pretty expensive!
Your post makes me long to spend some time in Sweden… oh well, I guess IKEA will have to do 🙁
Here in Alaska, there is a store called Fred Meyers…their bakery section is amazing. Every time I go in I always have to get a fruit tart pie or a chocolate fruit cup with mousse and fresh berries inside. Very delicious bakery even if it’s inside a grocery store. I’m very much looking forward to my trip to New Hampshire in May. I love checking out other states food and dessert.
Swiss cake bakery in Puerto Rico. Their cakes amazing!
Swiss cake doesnt exist any more. Theres one that is similar to it but not exactly the same! Sweet Ann Cakes
Yeah. I’m salivating. You’ve sold me on Stockholm. Can we go now, please?
oh gosh! my wish!
I will be back there in Stockholm for TBEX this Summer, I wish I can go there with many fellow travel bloggers! 🙂
Looks stunning! I’ll be in Stockholm for the first time this July and I cant wait to see this in person! 🙂
Great! are you going to TBEX as well?
aaaaah! I love it, it made me so hungry! lol
and you are so right – this stuff is mandatory in Sweden, you can’t survive their long winters without regular Fika and sweet cakes 🙂 I lived there for two years, so I can tell that you know what you are talking about.
Their winter or even summers when its warmer! Fika is totally a fundamentak part of Swedish culture!
Okay, so I’m reading this before I’ve eaten breakfast — probably not a good idea (hehe!)
Everything looks and sounds so delicious!! I also LOVE white hot chocolate. A friend got me into it about 8 years ago when they suggested I try it when we were visiting a coffee shop in America.
Thanks for this post! Love it!
So that’s where it is! I was able to visit Sweden before but in the north side. Those desserts look yummy too.
Sweets look very appealing. I enjoyed reading a post and liked colorful pictures. Thanks for sharing! For city apps I would like to get the app for Hue, Vietnam.
Hi Anita!
I requested a code for you but Hue is not available,

Wow, I’m a huge fan of sweet to but I’ve never tried white hot chocolate. Would love to go there!
Nice! I wonder if they are kid friendly too.
I’m so glad to hear that you are enjoying Stockholm. 🙂 I used to live in Stockholm and have visited Chokladkoppen a few times. It’s one of the great cafes in Gamla stan.
I lived in Stockholm for a month, Gothenburg for about 10 months… fabulous! Spent a lot of time in shops down by the warf and university. Also traveling to Denmark on day trips. Loved the coffee and glass. Not quite soft serve ice cream. Now living in West Virginia and take day trips to DC. Hot tea and scones in the UK on the Isle of Wight. Right proper.
Riquisimo. Lo acabo de probar
Those buildings look SO cool Brenda! The way they are lined up aka stacked up. Quite amazing. Rocking post 🙂
