Poli Caffé — Restaurant in Stockholm

Have you ever dreamed of a cup of authentic Italian espresso outside of 🇮🇹? Poli Caffé’s gonna make your dream come true! It’s just a small espresso bar in Kungsholmen but you’ll be surprised with the busy vibe there! The 🥇 things that caught our eyes right after we entered into the caffé were the beautiful Italian croissants (cornetto) with several choices from plain, salty, to sweet. We had 1 plain & 1 ham & cheese 🥐 immediately & took home the vanilla, chocolate, & peach ones. All of them have an attractive texture that I haven’t seen in any croissants in Sthlm: brown upper crispy crust outside & soft consistency inside. Also, they’re in the perfect crescent shape as the common 🥐 with lighter butter aroma than the French ones. As soon as we took the first bite, the crust crackled, which sounds like when we chewed sprinkles but then, it quickly melted in our mouth & only the smell of butter remained. We prefer the plain, ham & 🧀, & vanilla versions because the chocolate one is not as good as 🇫🇷 pain-au-chocolat (at least for us), the 🍑 one didn’t have enough filling to spread out to the whole croissant. Besides cornetto, Poli also has, of course, cannoli which is an Italian traditional dessert. It’s fried dough rolled into a tube shape & filled with sweet cream mixed with ricotta. At Poli, cannoli’s dough is wrapped with crushed peanuts & glazed with a thin layer of sugar while the filling cream is either vanilla or 🍫. The vanilla-filled cannoli is highly recommended! It was awesomesauce even we felt it was quite hard to bite at first! It was full of thick 🍦 with light vanilla flavor. It was creamy, fatty, tasty, milky as well! Sometimes we doubted that it was filled with 🥜 butter instead of vanilla. What else? Well, it’d be a big mistake if we didn’t write any sentence about the coffee at this Espresso bar. To be honest, it was too good to have any comment 😄. What we could say is that it was at Italian standard, satisfying almost all criteria for a good ☕️: crema, taste, temperature, timing, & pressure! Try one single espresso yourself & you won’t regret it! If you aren’t in the mood for having pastries, Poli has classic & pistachio truffles as well as fine classic & pistachio biscuits. Each of them cost only 10 SEK & they’re a perfect match for your ☕️. They’re in original taste & sweet enough to not only reduce the coffee’s bitterness but increase the after-taste also. P/s: It’s a tiny café for a quick breakfast or a quick coffee shot, not for long-time sitting! Note: They also have small 🍕 for weekday lunch which is also authentic & tasty! Tips: The owners are Italians, so do most of the customers. Come here if you wanna practice your Italian, they’re very welcomed! 💰Pastries 15-20 SEK; Drinks 15-30 SEK; Pizza 60-70 SEK. 👍🏻 Location 9/10 - Space 7/10 – Drinks 9/10 – Price 10/10 – Service 8/10.

Best Italian coffee place in Stockholm. Substantially more affordable than coffee chains, too. As an Italian in Stockholm this is my go-to place for Italian breakfast (cappuccino and a croissant, sometimes freshly squeezed orange juice). It's usually quite crowded but the staff is quick, wait times are very short. There are a few stools where you can sit down and have your coffee break in peace, but of course this is not where you come to work...

Love the vibes of this hole in a wall caffe run by 2 friendly Italians gentlemen.

Not only the cappuccino is superb, I love their rendition of Americano. My travel partner remarked PoliCafe actually brought a huge grin on my face which he has not seen for a week while we were at Tallinn and Riga earlier

Tried both pistachio & lemon croissants and pistachio wins hands down.

Cant wait to visit...
