Going for a 'fika' is a quintessentially Swedish tradition that is not easily translated but it basically means meeting for coffee accompanied by cake or pastries. Sweden takes great pride in its rich culture of baked goods, and throughout Stockholm, you'll discover a plethora of cafés and cake shops that exude an ambience of charm and offer high-quality treats.

Considered one of the city's institutions, Vete-Katten is a 1920s-style café with a wide range of offerings, including self-serve lunches, tasty pastries, snacks, coffee, and traditional afternoon tea. Renowned for their commitment to quality, Vete-Katten takes baking very seriously. Every item is meticulously crafted "from scratch" in the maze of baking corridors situated behind the café, ensuring that visitors experience the finest homemade treats.
