Stockholm
Squeeze in among the locals at this friendly cafe-bakery, a reliably affordable place to get a healthy and substantial meal in an unfussy setting. The scrumptious sandwiches and salads are inspired, with ingredients like halloumi, falafel, cured salmon, avocado and greens over quinoa or pasta. The homemade bread that comes with your order is divine.
You’ll find other branches elsewhere around town, but most close up around 6pm.
