Best Coffee In Malmö, Sweden

Nowhere in the world do people drink more coffee than in Nordic countries and the Swedes love coffee, with the average person consuming over three cups per day. Malmö is full of coffee shops, but I found two that I really loved (plus one bakery that you cannot miss).

My first stop was Solde.

Solde Kafferosteri & Kaffebar
Regementsgatan 2
211 42 Malmö
+46 73 935 77 70
7:15 am – 6:00 pm (Monday – Friday)
9:00 am – 4:00 pm (Saturday)
10:00 am – 4:00 pm (Sunday)

This place was full of people of all ages and the smell of freshly-roasted coffee was simply tantalizing.

I enjoyed a strong flat white and a pain au chocolat, fresh from the oven.

All sorts of confections were available:

Because I had consumed so much coffee on the SAS flight earlier in the day, I was done with my daily coffee intake after this first stop. However, I did continue my bakery indulgence at St. Jakobs (which also serves coffee).

St. Jakobs Stenugnsbageri
Rälsplatsen 1
211 20 Malmö
+46 72 339 30 20
7:00 am – 6:00 pm (Monday – Friday)
8:00 am – 5:00 pm (Saturday)
8:00 am – 1:00 pm (Sunday)

St. Jakobs is a bakery chain that offers a beautiful assortment of breads and pastries baked on-site.

I came here, though, for the Kanelbullar, a Swedish cinnamon roll. It was not as sweet as the American version, but that is a positive in my book.

I also took a cardamom roll to go which came in so handy when I was on a train in Germany the following afternoon:

My final stop the following morning was at a café called Qoffee right across the street from Zócalo near the town square.

I had a flat white while my friend had a pumpkin spice latte (yeah, yeah, I made a joke too).

I can’t speak for the flavored latte, but the flat white was excellent and even better than my coffee at Solde.

CONCLUSION

Malmö is full of coffee shops and I found three great ones. I usually have the self-control to resist pasties with my coffee, but you must try the cinnamon rolls and cardamom buns while in Sweden.
