Welcome to BALUE, an extraordinary cafe nestled in the heart of Stockholm at Nackagatan 3. This hidden gem wonderfully combines the craftsmanship of specialty coffee and matcha with the artistic touch of a florist, creating a stunningly modern and minimalistic aesthetic that is both inviting and refreshing.

Upon entering BALUE, you're met with a serene ambiance accentuated by serenity and thoughtful design, where every detail speaks to their commitment to quality and experience. The space is curated for those who appreciate the nuances of coffee and matcha, making it an ideal spot for connoisseurs and newcomers alike.

BALUE is especially renowned for its exceptional matcha and coffee offerings. With thoughtful selections like Hoshinomura and Okumidori matcha, each drink is a journey that invites you to savor the rich, velvety textures and complex flavors. Customer 'Cobbi Foodi' describes BALUE as an "amazing experimental coffee and matcha tasting place," highlighting its unique concept that emphasizes a slow and conscious approach to enjoying drinks. The pastries here are as refined as the drinks, providing a perfect complement to your experience.

Those who visit will be charmed by the friendly staff, many of whom bring their Korean roots to the cafe's warm atmosphere. As noted by 'Indra Hennaut', the service at BALUE is exceptional—Marc, one of the team members, goes above and beyond, sharing insights on matcha and hojicha, making every visit feel like a personal exploration into the world of tea and coffee. This connection to the creators of your beverage enhances not just the drinking experience but also fosters a sense of community.

If you're a matcha lover, as 'May J.' enthusiastically suggests, you must visit BALUE. The drinks, starting at 80 SEK, have been praised for their richness and smoothness, though a subtle plea for larger sizes has also been made. The emphasis here is on enjoying each sip and appreciating the dedication to plant-based ingredients with every cup.

To truly appreciate this cafe's offerings, we recommend setting aside some time to not just sip but indulge. Engage in conversations with the knowledgeable staff, learn about their unique processes, and share your own coffee and matcha experiences just as 'Cobbi Foodi' did. BALUE is not merely a cafe; it's an experience that invites you to slow down, appreciate quality, and connect.

Whether you are a local or a visitor to Stockholm, make BALUE a part of your journey—where every matcha and coffee becomes a storytelling element, each visit transforms into a new adventure, and every sip is a celebration of culinary artistry.

Really cool matcha and coffee store that shares the shopspace with a florist. Very modern and minimalistic aesthetic! The workers are really nice people with korean backgrounds. They explain every drink immediately the moment you arrive and have some very interesting options!

Amazing experimental coffee and matcha tasting place. Take it as a concept. It's slow and conscious. I had a great time chatting with the owner and exchanging about our coffee and matcha experiences. I tried two different kinds of matcha that day (Hoshinomura first and then Okumidori. They ran out of the Yam no tsuyu) and relished the journey. Their pastries are also very refined. Go there without any expectation and let your intuition and tastebuds flow. Take the time needed to savour and contemplate.

If you love matcha, definitely check this place out. 80 sek for matcha and only have plant based milks. For the price, the portion is quite small. I however enjoyed the drink alot. It was really rich and smooth. My only critique is to have upgrade the size just a little.

What an amazing place We had the best matcha ever here and we also tried the Hojicha latte (with oat milk) and it was the best drink I’ve ever had! The place is also super aesthetic, but most importantly the service was top notch… Marc was so friendly and thoughtful, we ended up talking with him for like 30 minutes about matcha, hojicha and more. It was super interesting and you could see he was really passionate about what he does. I wish more people were like him. They also bring water to your table without asking which we appreciated!

Easily the best modern specialty coffee place in Stockholm. The owner and host were super friendly, explaining their concept to us. A place very much focussed on quality and at the same time being accessible for everyone. Absolute must for coffee & matcha when you’re in Stockholm.

They have the best coffee bar service in Stockholm, genuinely engaging with the customer by showing a 1:1 personalized attitude that starts with the menu section in the store. You don't need to chase your order, will get your order number and they will find you. Coffee is also quite good, ambiance speaks for itself.

Definitely the best matcha I’ve tried in Stockholm. It was pretty pricy for the small amount that you get, but you can taste the quality. The desserts were simple and were perfect for my drink. The guy who worked there also came out with water for all the guests at some point which was appreciated!
