Café Gråmunken

Good Nutella waffle served warm! It was a little on the pricey side but everything in Stockholm was pricier than what I pay in my home country, and their prices were in line with other coffee and desserts prices around town. Café was more like a quiet coffee shop, don’t understand the bad reviews on service. We came here twice on our stay and had no issues.

Great little café on main touristy street. Stopped in in our way back to our hotel for a coffee and dessert. Highly recommend the apple pie warmed up with vanilla sauce on top!
Best part is to go downstairs and sit in the cave. Free wifi

I wish I checked Unilocal before we wandered into this place. Looks nice but the coffee was horrible and overpriced. In fact, everything was overpriced. Good selection though. No prices nor pricelists anywhere, and the service was also poor.

Worst service and most expensive café in all of Stockholm. 55 SEK for a hot chocolate! And it’s ready mix.
There is no table service, and u get yelled at to go hunt your cutlery in the back of the café somewhere.

Strolling through Gamla Stan, you easily walk in to overpriced tourist traps searching for a little snack or more. Many places are loud and crowded and not as charming as the quiet little alleys in this area.
This plain little corner café caught my attention, as I could see the food counter through the open door. It’s not as big as in other places, but still I cannot make up m mind, what to choose. Everything looks delicious. Next to my very tasty sandwich I ordered a café latte. Let me tell you, that was the best one I had in ages. Looking at the surrounding tables, you should really take a piece of cake as a side, when you come here for coffee.

Das Café befindet sich in einem alten Kellergewölbe und wirkt urig. Im Sommer ist viel Betrieb, da auf dieser Straße viele Touristen durch die Altstadt spazieren. Das Angebot an Kuchen, Salaten und Sandwiches überzeugt. Allerdings stören die Bildschirme, die überall so aufgehängt sind, dass man einfach hingucken muss. Da läuft dann Werbung. Und eine zweite Sache stört: Die schwedische Kaffeehauskultur oder vielmehr Unkultur. Da kochen die Mitarbeiter Kaffee oder Wasser und stellen die Kannen auf Heizplatten. Natürlich bleiben die Flüssigkeiten so nicht richtig heiß. Man brüht sich Tee mit etwa 80 Grad warmem Wasser auf. Besonders schlimm ist es, wenn die Kannen längere Zeit stehenbleiben. In dem Fall kann man die Säure des Kaffees richtig riechen. Zum Wegrennen. Das wird leider fast überall in Schweden so gemacht, nicht nur in diesem Café. Die einzige Möglichkeit, diese Unsitte zu umgehen, ist frisch gebrühte italienische Kaffeespezialitäten zu kaufen, die natürlich teurer sind.

Not exactly a lively atmosphere, poor and unintriguing variety of pastries, all in all not too inspiring. Outright bad coffee. If medieval vaults piqué your interest, you might still want to take a look.
