Vete-Katten

Lovely brasserie / cafe with opulent interior and amazing pastries! Everything from here tastes great, I cannot settle on only one thing to highlight. The coffee si really good as well. The only downside would be that it can get quite busy and it’s hard to find a place to sit

An amazing cafe bakery in Stockholm( they have several locations). We visited the one at Kungsgatan 55, Stockholm. This place makes all products from scratch with the best ingredients. Ample seating, almost cafeteria type atmosphere and real comfortable space. Pastries, cookies/ biscuits, breads, sandwiches, or select lunch offerings. Definitely the right place for relaxing and having an affordable meal, coffee, pastries after a good walk around town.

Almost every local knows about this amazing place, so If you want to experience a traditional Swedish fika, you must visit this coffee shop Vete Katten. From the atmosphere to all kinds of variations on cakes and buns. All the city's residents meet here for a classic coffee break. Open every day!

You were not in Stockholm yet before you visit this place, they said so. It was a huge palace to have cinnamon buns (or other things for sure), they have gigantic options if breads, cakes, chocolates, and other snacks. I came here like 2 times within 3 days and even took a large cinnamon buns home to Germany haha

This is one of the famous pastry shops in Stockholm, recommended by my friend. I had cheesecake and cappuccino. They were all good. (The big cup was latte)

Vete-Katten in Stockholm offers an exceptional pastry experience with a cozy and classic ambiance. I tried a selection that included a deliciously moist crumble cake paired with a creamy vanilla sauce, a perfectly brewed espresso, and a beautifully baked cinnamon bun. Each item was exquisite in flavor and texture. The crumble cake was delightfully soft with a satisfying crunch on top, and the vanilla sauce added just the right amount of richness. The cinnamon bun was aromatic and soft, with a touch of sweetness that wasn’t overpowering. The espresso was rich and well-balanced, complementing the pastries perfectly. Highly recommend for anyone looking to indulge in high-quality Swedish pastries in a charming setting

We had our breakfast at this wonderful place every day during our visit to Stockholm. The location is beautiful, the pastries and baked goods are excellent, and the staff is charming and patient. A truly great discovery. Special mention goes to the Princess Cake, which brought back childhood memories.

Let’s have FIKA. I had filter coffee and cinnamon bun here. This combination is great which i never get bored to eat! Delicious cinnamon bun and coffee! The cafe is right in the heart of city (very easy to find). The atmosphere is cozy. Good to escape from the rain!

My first foodie adventure in Stockholm was this bakery and I came back 3 more times! They have the best variety of baked goods, breakfast items, desserts and drinks coffee, tea and alcoholic ! The service is always so good and they are so polite. I loved the old time feel yet the capture a little modern into it too. They have a few different locations. All are great . I loved the first one I went to with the outdoor garden. I had my first Swedish cinnamon bun here and that is pretty much my go to here. I also loved the apple muffin . The coffee is nice and strong and served in their lovely cups and their bubbly is a good treat with pastries too surprisingly . They have counter service, to go, or you can do the sit down service too. Definitely seek these bakeries out if you're in the city. You won't be sorry! This was my first Fika and my last in Stockholm and a tradition I truly loved! The central train station has a kiosk of the bakery and I got some cinnamon buns to go home with me too.

We were so excited to be in Stockholm Sweden and to go to a very famous Fika spot. We loved it! The inside was like being transported through time and space to an old fashioned elegant time. We ordered a slice of Princess Torta and I almost cried it tasted so good. The cream was so light and yummy. Each bite with a sip of strong coffee was like a dream come true. It is not a sit down place. You order at the counter and then sit down. I would have liked to have been served but it was still a really special experience. I have a very short video of it on YouTube if you are interested. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/c8atRmKjuLc

How freaking cute is this place!? High ceilings, with beautiful light fixtures, light and bright. We came here several times during our trip and it was always packed, that's how you know it's good! The staff was always friendly and kind as we attempted to order. Every pastry and cake we had was out of this world outstanding. You absolutely must get the princess cake. Light and fresh it was the perfect afternoon sweet for Fika! I seriously dream of these pastries and would come back to Stockholm just for some of that princess cake!

They don't have Chai latte or matcha latte. They don't have iced tea either. But pastries are lovely and I like that they have a lot of seats inside. You can actually sit down and relax.

Delicious place for Fika! Excellent and quick service. There is a wide variety of pastries, cakes, breads, buns, sandwiches, coffee drinks and smoothies. Everything is very fresh. For a late breakfast, I had a cappuccino and cardamom sweet bun which rich in flavor and taste. If you like cardamom, I would highly recommend it. Plenty of spacious seating indoor. Great place to meet friends for coffee and a treat. Highly recommend it.

Coming straight out of Arlanda airport, Vette-Katten was our first stop. For anyone that needs a coffee or pastry after a long flight, Vette-Katten is the perfect place. My friend and I were not the only ones who came straight from the airport (or going to the airport) as there were a few customers with luggage. There were more than enough tables to grab a seat and I went to order food for me and my friend. We ordered the princess cake, white chocolate mousse, the skagen toast, a latte and a capuccino. I don't know what all these other yelp reviewers are talking about, but the princess cake was made for royalty. I'm usually not a fan of fondant, but this fondant was different. The fondant isn't too sweet, has a pleasant tartness, and complements the fluffy cream and fresh raspberries. I was tempted, but properly dissuaded, from bringing a few slices back to New York. Aside from the perfect princess cake, the white chocolate mousse is super soft and balanced, the skagen toast was refreshing, and the coffee was pretty good. Overall, I think Vete-Katten shines when it comes to their pastries. The only difficult part of ordering in Vette-Katten is that I couldn't read anything and had to point to things/ask lots of questions. This wouldn't be so bad if there weren't a lot of people waiting behind us. If we did more research beforehand, I would've tried the cloudberry dessert instead of the white chocolate mousse (which is more of a universal dessert). Despite that, the workers are really friendly, helpful, and patient. I could see myself grabbing a coffee and a pastry alone or with friends if I lived in the area. There is a casual coziness despite a lot of people coming in and out. You won't be pressured to leave as there are just as many groups having relaxed conversations over tea and pastries. I'll continue to dream about Swedish pastries and Fika until the time comes to visit again.

Here are 85 characters about the Black Cat cafe in Stockholm (regardless of location). It's an institution. It's held up all these years because they're doing things RIGHT. Anytime I find myself in Stockholm, you can be assured that I will try to get to Vete-Katten at least ONCE per day for Fika. Every cafe should model itself on this place, seriously. It's great.

As one of the first breakfast/meals that we had in Sweden, we stopped by here. We just had a cinnamon bun and the Princess cake. I enjoyed the cinnamon bun, which wasn't too sweet which I really appreciated. If America had this, I could see myself eating this over the American version just for the reduced amount of sugar. The princess cake was good, but the fondant wasn't the best. In general I think fondant isn't the best. If they left the fondant off I would have enjoyed it a lot more. A nice cream on top and it would've been perfect for me, but sadly it was fondant which meh. Overall, I enjoyed Vete-Katten and these type of cafes are not as rare in America, but by far the food I feel like is better and overall atmosphere. If we come back I think we could spend a little longer here and take our time while sipping coffee. I think though there are so many cafes, but I thought this place had a lot of seating and would be great for big groups.

This is a popular local cafe. It is bright and vibrant. I did not give five stars because it gets very crowded and busy thus slowing down service and making it a louder space than ai would like. However given that it is a city cafe this is to be expected it's just not something I prefer. By far the pastries in this cafe are divine! There are so many selections to chose from but I have had several (yes, I have gone more than once) and none of them disappointed me. Pastries with cream are creamy with the perfect texture and sweetness. While pastries with spices were a perfect blend of flavors with nothing overwhelming but balanced to enhance the treats. There are cold sandwiches that are a delightful quick lunch treat but the most delicious menu item I enjoyed was the ham and cheese quiche. It was magnificent! It was served hot with a cold crisp salad on the side a wonderful combo.

This place was so good, I made it a point to visit once a day during my weeklong stay in the city. Their grilled sandwiches with ham and cheese are ridiculously good, it's legit one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I've ever had, the Dijon mustard in it brings it to a whole another level. Princess cake and Smultron were my favorite sweets I tried, although you can't go wrong with any of them. Service was fantastic. As a non Swedish speaker, I was able to order and communicate with the staff. Ambiance was great, I was able to secure a seat for myself every time I visited. From the looks of it, seemed like a very popular spot for first dates among the locals! Overall a must visit for anyone in the city!

There are loads of these places it seems...we kept getting brekkies at the kiosk in the central station before getting the train on the way out to Maersta to see family - a double espresso and a vaniljbulle for me, a cappuccino and a saffransknut for my wife But the actual shop here on Kungsgatan was so much nicer, despite the ton of tourists...sit down, take your time with a pot of Earl Grey and a bun...very pleasant We even ordered a birthday cake for my brother in law Its not that cheap - but it is nice

We had our first Swedish breakfast here. We had the cinnamon bun and Princess cake. If you are American, the cinnamon bun is completely different from what we normally have. It's not super sweet, doesn't get doused with icing, and is a bit more dense. I prefer the Swedish version. Princess cake is fluffy airy cake that reminds me of Asian cakes. I wasn't a big fan of the green fondant.

Vete-Katten is a requirement to visit if someone is in Sweden. Everything about this place is wonderful from the atmosphere to literally each and every dessert. I frequented here several times and I was in Sweden for less than a week, so that's saying something. Yes the princess cake is a classic and a must, but there's so much more out there, including solbulle, semla, and ostkaka. In short, whatever is seasonal was absolutely delicious.

Our first stop off the train from the Stockholm airport, per a rec from a friend living here. The cardamom bun was delicious, the vanilla bun too! We also got a skagen (shrimp sandwich), and the dill sauce on it was perfect. You get refills on your coffee here too. I highly recommend this shop for fika time!!!

We were told by locals that this was the place to go for princess cake and cardamon buns, and vete katten definitely delivered. The restaurant/cafe is large with plenty of seating for your tea and treats. The princess cake is multilayers of thick cream and jam encased in sponge cake and marzipan. The cardamon bun was my favourite, and I recommend getting the larger wreath or pan sized bread instead as you'll want to eat more of the buttery, flakey layers of fragrant pastry. They also have lunch foods here, which we'll have to try next time :).

Dessert: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Overall: A nice place for a chat over some lovely pastries! It's fika time!!! The extended review... Dessert: Swedish Princess Cake - 5/5 - Now this is one of the best I've had in my lifetime and a must try. There are so many layers to this fluffy cake. Don't let the green marzipan deter you! Chocolate Mousse Cake - 5/5 - So fluffy and delicious. It's definitely a different dessert in comparison to the Swedish Princess Cake. In the mood for chocolate? This is your option. Ambiance: The interior is huge! A nice clean space with multiple corridors. Service: Friendly staff.

While visiting Stockholm I wanted a true Fika experience. Vete-Katten provided a wonderful atmosphere, a great cappuccino and cinnamon bun.

Popped in here for a mandatory fika break during a day of walking all around town. I happened to amber walking by and noticed it had great reviews so I figured it was worth a stop. While there was a bit of a line it went quickly and all the women working behind the counters were hard at work. I devoured my pastry and slowed down with a big latte to keep me going. There is something to be said about a place that executes a coffee break well, a solid menu of items, great service and a comfy ambiance -- and Vete-Karen delivered. Definitely recommend.

We came here solely for the Princess cake which is a traditional Swedish cake meant for special occasions and birthdays. A princess cake is a traditional Swedish layer cake consisting of alternating layers of airy sponge cake, pastry cream, and a thick-domed layer of whipped cream. This is topped by marzipan, giving the cake a smooth rounded top. The marzipan was extra sweet and made it difficult to finish the cake. I really liked the airy sponge cake and the berries. The green marzipan makes the cake look unique and adds an almond scent. Split the cake with a friend for dessert and it was just the right amount.

Someone told me the Budapest cake here was actually better than the storied Princess cake. I didn't want to miss out, so I got both on my first visit. They are both really good, but the classic Budapest cake was my favorite. On my second visit, I got the strawberry Budapest cake and a blueberry pastry. Both were good, but still not as good as that classic Budapest cake. My second visit was around 5pm on a Wednesday afternoon in June after it had rained a few hours earlier. There were only 3 people in front of us in a fast moving line. Seats were easy to find. Totally different than my first visit on a sunny day in September when everyone was outside.

Try the Princess cake! It was so light and fluffy that we ate it two days in a row. Be careful though, even though the cake practically melts in your mouth, it's still really rich and filling. We also tried their cardamom bun as well as cinnamon bun- all the pastries are extremely delicious and fresh. Service is also very fast and efficient.

This is a well renowned cafe and pastry spot in central Stockholm. Near to the central train station it offers a wide array of cakes, pastries, sandwiches and coffee drinks. The entire time we were there, the place was packed and finding a table took a bit of jockeying. There is no table service. All of the food we got was excellent and tasty. Would definitely come back.

Quick! Need to finish my Yelping before I board the plane! I liked this place because it reminded me of Laduree in Paris. It's a historical cafe -- I think it's founded in 1928? Anyways, I was drawn in by the wide array of pastries... so epically beautiful. Especially the princesa cake. I ordered a semla, sat down and enjoyed my bun with a coffee. The semla is so light and delicate. The bun was like a pillowy cloud stuffed with very light cream - not too sweet thank God. It's a tad pricier than other places I believe but well worth the quality. The inside is very much like a French cafe. There are benches along the wall, some small circular tables where tourists gather. Very well-lit set-up and the space is enormous. Perfect last stop before I boarded to bus to Arlanda airport.

We found Vete-Katten by chance when visiting Stockholm and ended up coming here twice (and craving more as soon as we flew home). Vete-Katten is a cute, authentic European cafe to grab your FIKA! We came here for breakfast and after dinner for a dessert..and they have so many wonderful pastries and treats. Prices were reasonable also. You'll see many pastry shops in the area but Vete-Katten tasted fresh and were delicious! Would definitely recommend the Weiner Semla which was flaky, creamy pastry and perfect with a cup of coffee or tea. Plenty of places to relax and sit also in their cafe and feel like a local!

Came here to try the famous prinsesstårta (Swedish Princess Cake)! Most of my friends have seen this cake on the Great British Bake-off but, for those who don't know what it is (like me), it's DELICIOUS and consists of alternating layers of sponge cake, raspberry jam, whipped cream, and a thick pastry cream and topped with a layer of green marzipan. It's a must-try in Sweden! The cake is light and soft, and isn't too sweet. Cream to sponge cake is like 3:1 ratio, but because it's not heavy or too sweet I didn't mind. The green marzipan at Vete-Katten (VK) is a thing of beauty though. I don't usually like marzipan but VK's is so soft and delicate. Like 99% of Swedish places, employees speak perfect English and they accept Mastercard/American CC's in general.

Delicious, authentic Swedish pastries and quality coffee drinks. Came here once for a pastry breakfast and once for lunch. The pastries are a so delicious and not overly sweet. Just right. They have a nice selection of freshly made salads and sandwiches as well as grab and go options. It gets quite busy especially on the weekends so seating can be a bit tight. Overall, a great experience especially for a first timer in Stockholm!

Stopped by for the famous princess cake. I don't usually food hunt for sweets and my partner has zero interest for sweets so it was not easy convincing him to come here. I order the cake, take a bite and make him take a bite. Then I look at his face and he is embarrassed. He loved it. We never tried a cake similar and can't compare it to anything else. It is so unique and the bright color just makes you smile. The cake is very soft and melts in your mouth. I also couldn't help but to notice the free bread and water. People could just come here for free bread and water! This free station is near the ordering area but totally up for grabs. We had coffee to offset the cake but it wasn't overbearingly sweet. He ate the majority of it because he was mind-blown by the cake. The ambiance is great for friend meetups and chatting.

First time trying princess cake here and loved it. It was deliciously light - marzipan and torte and cream. Other pastries were also great and the seating is lovely. Good place to stop for breakfast or an afternoon snack.

My son looked up this -lace and it dint disappoint. Seemed like a local spot that had the best pastries. After leaving the city I missed coming here.

Beautiful bakery with the feel of Bottega Louie in DTLA. Stop by for some afternoon tea and Swedish pastries in the beautiful bakery filled with locals and tourists. I'm not an expert in Swedish pastries, but we got a meringue tart and a slice of the princess cake. I was very excited to get the princess cake as I've seen this as part of the Great British Baking Show on one of the more recent episodes. While I have not been a huge fan of marzipan, this cake was so delightful. Fresh jam in the middle with the extremely moist cake. And the marzipan top was the finishing touch. 10/10 would recommend.

Some places sell food. Others are experiences. Vete-Katten is a bit of both. It's a culinary time capsule, an ode to a more genteel lifestyle, relaxed, that savors the blend of environment and eats, to make small table conversations over coffee and a bite to eat convivial, or intimate, or just a dash of dish about this person or that, on the day. What a wonderful morning we had there. Bright summer day. It's a place that more locals seem to frequent, and we could see why. Our pastries and coffee were first-rate. I had a cardamom bun that makes me sad that more people don't use this wonderful spice in their baking as a lead, not a role player, in the taste. We also sampled a fresh blueberry bun with wild blueberries that invoked old school summers, finding a pale, washing them, and then adding blueberries to everything. Their winter seating indoors is also quaint and traditional and intimate, but I can see why the garden in the back is so magic. Counter service, then sit. The salads, sandwiches and other treats looked great too.

Owned by Chef Johan Sandelin since 2012 and founded by Ester Nordhammar in 1928 it can safely be said that Vete-Katten is something of a Stockholm institution, and conveniently located just a few blocks from Central Station it proved a convenient stop en route from Arlanda Airport to a hotel in Kristineberg, nearly twenty hours of travel finally coming to a conclusion in a comfortable chair with eight selections ranging from Cakes to Tarts and Rolls. Officially located at Kungsgatan 55 since its inception and later opening a smaller kiosk at T-Central, the bilingual staff ready and happy to explain items listed in Swedish to a mixed crowd of tourists and locals, it was after surveying several cases that tough decisions were made to omit several delectable looking Pastries in favor of others, items boxed or placed on trays with self-service Water available in addition to Coffee, Tea and other Beverages. Famous for classic confections crafted by an all-female staff until the 1960s, the service still entirely young ladies from what could be seen across the space's expanse, it was shortly after seating that first bites were taken of an Almond and Brown Sugar Tosca that eats much like Canadian Buttercake at the bottom, a similar consistency forming the base of a thick round labeled Katalan which replaces Brown Sugar and sliced Nuts with Raspberry Jam atop the Almond Flour. At this point unfamiliar with many of Sweden's culinary traditions but quick to learn across eighteen bakeries visited over the next nine days, both Vete-Katten's Cardamom Bun and Solbulle a bit drier and less fluffy than those found elsewhere, it was in two seasonal specials that the shop managed to impress the most, a Blueberry-riddled Brioche called Sommarbulle benefitting the Dough with Fruit Juice while a Summertime Budapest Cake replaced traditional Chocolate and Orange with Almond Cream and Strawberries amidst the Meringue. Finding the Nut Roll also better than Chef Sandelin's Kardemumma Bulle, the added Sweetness of Brown Sugar and textural juxtaposition of Nuts making the base seem not so dry, it was finally in Vete-Katten's famous Princess Cake that the tasting reached its end, the Sponge Cake a bit more dense than others and the Pastry Cream not too Sweet which seemed an odd choice in the setting of sour Raspberry Jam that was not featured as part of the Cake offered elsewhere.

Vete-Katten offers one of the coolest fika experiences in Stockholm, the highlight of course being the extensive tea rooms within this specific location. It seems like everyone in Stockholm knows of this place. So if you go at peak fika hour, you'll find yourself hovering over tables for a while. I've only tried two of the menu items at Vete-Katten despite having been there multiple times, and it's because Vete-Katten is my go-to semla spot in all of Stockholm. Every time I go, I try and tell myself that I'll branch out and try something new, but I end up keep going back to the semlor. The bun is so soft, almost brioche-y, the cream is light and indulgent, and the almond paste, in adequate quantity, is neither overpowering nor too sweet. The cardamom in the bun is my favorite part; it's not overpowering and almost cancels out the heaviness of the almond paste. Most of the time, when you finish eating a semla, you won't be able to stomach food for a long time afterwards because it tends to be too heavy. This isn't the case for Vete-Katten's semlor. The prinsesstårta is also great; the cake is fluffy, and the cream is reminiscent of the one in the semlor. It could be a bit sweeter, considering the jam and the cream dull out the existing sweetness. I've only gotten it once, because the semla is always what I am there for, and what you should be there for too.

We were wandering Stockholm's downtown busy shopping district in search of a decent coffee spot. Ellen F. and I love the cafes in Europe as they are definitely unique and different from ours in the states, and when we get a chance we make it a mission to visit one. In comes Vete-Katten, it's located not far from Stockholm's main train station in Norrmalm. Very busy area loaded with many shops, I recommend you take the metro as it is reasonable and convenient. Definitly would have a hard time finding parking, if your a group of 4 or more then Über is worth the money. This place has been around since 1928, in my opinion very classy and old school on the inside. Huge seating area, should find a spot but at night after hours it does get crowded. The coffee was absolutely amazing along with thier desserts. The cheesecake was awesome, please order it. If you need water or more milk there is a station where you can help yourself. If your alone or with a companion and have time kill I highly recommend you stop by, everyone speaks great English as most Scandinavians do, and the prices are reasonable for what your getting.

This is the best hidden-gem we have found in quite a while! I emphasize the hidden part because we never found the main and theoretically most obvious entrance, and we were searching. Our host in Sigtuna mentioned that if we were taking the train to the Stockholm City stop, that the exit to the train was pretty close to one of Vete-Katten's entrances. That's not the one we found. Stumbling around a side-street while waiting for Google and City Mapper to agree on something, we saw a modest little sign for the shop, entered an enclosed alleyway through a nondescript door, and entered another nondescript door some way farther along the alley. Met with a tiny bakery counter, we ordered some pastries and a coffee, and were directed through a door to either side and advised we would find coffee nearer a table. Somewhat skeptically, we went through one of these small doorways and around a very cosy and private tearoom, and only then found ourselves in a broad, open-plan room with small tables, chairs, and couches dotted about the sides while a large circular table held coffee services and a ring of cups and saucers at the ready. I prepared my coffee, and we ducked around yet another corner to find a perfect table for two in a cosy nook where we took our time devouring our amazing pastries. Vete-Katten is what every hip, young coffee house wishes it could be when it grows up. My breakfast there will be one of my fondest memories of Stockholm, and should I ever make it back to the lovely city my first order of business will be to try and find it again!

You think this cafe is small? No. It's huge! And their kanellbulle is tasty . I was here with some friends to celebrate cinnamon bun's day, or in Swedish Kanelbullensdag. I know it's a bit weird, but here in Sweden we have this kinda special day for something that we take for granted. The coffee making process was a bit slow by the way, maybe because it was a special day? ‍ I can recommend this place

It is extremely hard to find seating here. The interior is cute but the pastries and coffee are ordinary. I do like the vibe and coffee culture. Definitely worth taking a FIKA here.

Ridiculously delish! Vegan salad and grilled cheese sandwich were wonderful but the star was the princess cake and cardamom bun which I'm still thinking about.. highly recommend!

Vete-Katten, I will never forget you, I wish I could try all of the delicious cakes and sweets that you have. The princess cake looked very enticing, but somehow I was in the mood for something chocolate-y lol. The coffee is absolutely divine. I like how they try to keep the original charm of the 1920s decor, I felt like I was stepping back in time and enjoying a "fika" (Swedish word for afternoon coffee) Whenever I return to Stockholm, you'll be the first place to visit. :)

Really good almond cup pastry! The two cakes and two cinnamon rolls were just ok though. Still, there is a large collection of pastries and the staff are super sweet. Great little find.

Oh my gosh. I was told that since I was in Sweden, I need to eat princess cake. After researching a few, I landed upon this place. I got the soup, baked potato, and princess cake. The soup was delicious. The baked potato was good too. The princess cake? Oh my... I always thought that marzipan was something not-so-yummy that you just put to the side. The marzipan on the princess cake was something completely different. It actually had great flavor and texture. After leaving this place I noticed that there was a whole shop next door! I don't know what the different between the two places are since they both said Vete-Katten, but the one at the corner looked super pretty while the place I went to was the back shop that looked like a regular mom-pop cafe. I must go back to this place and have princess cake if I'm ever back in Stockholm.

OH MY PERFECTION. I've been dying to visit this bakery for a very long time, so when I was able to I definitely indulged. It's perfectly Parisian with a Swedish feel, spotless inside, and smells like kaffe, bread, and sugars. The Swedish Princess cake was one of the best desserts I've even eaten and the chocolate dome cake with passion fruit mousse was heavenly as well. I especially liked the area in the back where you can see them baking and working. As an amateur baker this was so special for me. I didn't want to leave!

I was quite keen to try princess cake the weekend I was in Sweden, so I came here for lunch with a friend on Easter Sunday around 12:45. Per the sign on the door, the location was open throughout the Easter holidays, albeit with slightly reduced hours. There was a queue when we arrived (there are separate queues for dining in and buying takeaway desserts), but it moved fairly quickly. We were at the café for about 2 hours and customers seemed to come in waves, so sometimes there would be queues while other times it didn't look busy at all. So I wouldn't be too discouraged if you stop by and see a queue; they tend to move through them quickly and you might have just come in with a wave of other customers. Most of the signage/menus were in Swedish but there was a small English menu near the cash register when you reached the front of the line and the staff were fluent in English. In addition, there were cold dishes (mostly sandwiches) behind the glass. My friend and I both got sandwiches--I think we got overwhelmed by the Swedish menus at first--but I would recommend ordering off the menu if you want things like soup, salad, or quiche. In addition, if you order off the menu they bring it to your table, which is nice. We each also got a slice of princess cake and I got a tea (the "recommended" one at the top of the menu; not sure of the English name) while my friend got a cappuccino. All the food was delicious and the sandwiches were quite filling. My friend later also went back to order a soup--there was only one, the soup of the day, which was tomato the day we were there. It looked delicious and could probably have been a meal on its own, as it was large and was served with bread. Ultimately the princess cake was not really my thing, but I'm so glad I got to try it. The café was pretty crowded and probably always is, so you might have to look around for a seat. It's pretty beautiful inside, with good lighting and a nice view of the street if you're near the front. The food was a bit expensive; my lunch was probably around $20 USD, and my friend's was more since she also ordered soup. However, it wasn't too bad given the fact that it's popular with tourists and has a well known reputation. One of the bathrooms was put of order at the time, so there was a bit of a queue at times. Definitely worth a visit if you're ever in Stockholm!

Maybe part of it is that I'm just not a princess cake person, but I was pretty disappointed by the cake. I was expecting something delicious after seeing the cake featured on the Great British Baking Show. The jam was way too sour and not evenly spread across the bottom of the cake, and the cake was a little soggy. Nonetheless, the interiors here are beautiful and comfortable, and they also have a basket of sliced bread that you can help yourself to.

Stopped in for lunch around 11:30 on a Tuesday; not too busy to start off with. The cafe is beautiful and old-fashioned, which is what drew me in. At the counter I ordered (in English - no problem) the falafel salad and a slice of princess cake. The cashier pointed me towards the bread, tea, coffee, and water included with my lunch - something I didn't expect but was very excited about. There was white bread and a darker bread available; I thought the dark, wheaty bread was delicious. The salad was delivered to my table promptly and was fantastic. I'm not usually one to eat beets, but they were fantastic in this salad along with the golden cauliflower, pickled onions, and falafel balls. Now for the star of the show: the princess cake. After reading the reviews for this bakery I knew this was the pastry to get (although I probably would have tried everything). I was not disappointed. The jam at the bottom is a bit tart, but the cake and cream are pleasant and not too sweet. My favorite part was the marzipan...a little chewy, sweet, and really takes the cake from simple to something special. When I left around 12:15 the cafe was filling up. I would without a doubt recommend Vete-Katten for anyone looking for a bit fancier lunch or afternoon pastry.

This is not a review for the food itself. We were so excited to go here, but don't know if it was the time of the day, it was so crowded and the selections were so small that we decided to leave without eating there.

Always a pleasure to stop for coffee and cake. Although the street-side café has been renovated an upgraded, they have retained the comfortable, small town, Swedish coffee shop feeling in their back rooms, which are also connected to a small inner courtyard. I recommend anyone visiting Stockholm to find this coffee shop.

Great place to try the classic Swedish cardamom bun (kardemumma) and chocolate ball (chokladboll). Cappuccino was great. Pricing reasonable. Lots of rooms to explore. Free coffee refill station.

I came here for dessert. I like that they have long hours (open until 7pm) since everything in Stockholm closes at 4pm or 5pm. I'm from NYC so I'm used to everything open until 10pm or 11pm even bakeries and dessert places. I ordered the pistachio and butter buns. The buns were delicious and you can tell they're freshly baked since it's moist, not dry. I liked the pistachio bun the most since the cream inside was delicious. They have more variety of baked goods in the morning so I'll have to come back.
