Scandinavian Embassy

The Swedish owners of this specialist coffee store/restaurant explore the boundaries between coffee, food and fashion and introducing interesting creations such as espresso butter. Head to the Scandinavian Embassy for an award-winning cup of freshly-brewed coffee, but also for healthy breakfasts and lunches (naturally with a Scandinavian twist). The light, airy interior and plenty of wood furnishings complete the experience.

Swedish coffee and cinnamon buns in Amsterdam

The sparse, minimal cafe serves the best fika and Swedish dishes in town. The delicious coffee comes from various micro-roasters in Scandinavia (including famed Drop Coffee Roasters in Stockholm and Koppi Fine Coffee Roasters in Helsingborg) &ndash: no wonder, as the Embassy counts the 2013 Brewers Cup Champion of Sweden as its head barista. Tip: try the cinnamon buns.
