KEY TO SÖDER

Kersh Coffee Bar

In a nearly 200-year-old space – once a tobacco shop – this coffee bar opened earlier this year. Kersh Coffee started out as a roastery, and has been supplying premium coffee to restaurants, cafés, and offices since 2010. With a strong focus on quality and sustainability, they source their beans from small cooperatives and independent farms, creating blends that truly stand out. That said, the coffee bar focuses on more than just world-class coffee – it also serves pastries and sandwiches, all enjoyed in an incredibly cool and historic setting.

2. Falafelbaren

Hornsgatan isn’t just home to vintage shops – it also boasts one of the city’s absolute best falafel spots. At Falafelbaren, you’ll find crispy, flavor-packed falafel made with top-quality ingredients. Every detail is thought through: from the silky hummus to the freshly baked bread and the tangy pickled vegetables, perfection is in every bite. And while you’re there, make sure to go for Storken’s go-to order – a wrap and börek – for the full authentic experience.

3. Herr Judit

When Time Magazine released its list of the world’s 100 greatest places last year, Hornsgatan’s Slow Fashion District made the cut, thanks to its vibrant stretch of second-hand and vintage shops. And while the street has plenty to offer for treasure hunters, Storken has declared one true crown jewel: Herr Judit. This vintage boutique is known for its carefully handpicked selection of clothing and accessories. It’s the kind of place where you almost always walk out with something – not only because there’s something for everyone, but also because the shop is thoughtfully organized and curated, avoiding the overwhelming clutter you often find in second-hand stores.

4. 800 grader slice

If it’s one thing Stockholm has really embraced in recent years, it’s luxury pizza. Neapolitan, wood-fired; burrata here and nduja there. But among all the options, one place truly stands out: 800 grader. Founded in 2016, with Oscar Moreno as one of the founders, they have their main restaurant in Vasastan – but the real gem is their cozy slice spot right in the heart of Södermalm. This little hideaway feels like a true slice of Southern Europe, where fresh pizzas are baked daily with rotating flavors that never fail to impress. Oscar is not only a skilled chef but also a well-liked local and good friend of Storken’s — but when he says this is the best pizza in town, it’s the flavour speaking.

5. Paradiso

For a night out, Paradiso is the place to be. This intimate bar strikes the perfect balance between cozy and vibrant, serving top-notch cocktails against a backdrop of first dates, boisterous friend groups, and everything in between. Simply put, it’s the kind of spot where you mingle with locals and never quite know what the evening will bring.
