1. Urban Deli

Nestled in the heart of Stockholm's trendy Sofo district, the original Urban Deli offers a tasty breakfast menu between 8am and 11am, with dishes starting at 75 kronor (less than $10). Here, you're offered the chance to make your own sandwich "the way you want it", accompanied by juice, yoghurt and coffee, or you can dig into the breakfast buffet. This cosy yet industrial setting also offers brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. If you're looking for a hangover cure, try out the hot dogs accompanied by bell pepper mayonnaise or gorge on the baby back ribs and pulled pork burgers. There's a delicatessen too, so if you can't face being surrounded by other peoples' chit chat you can load up your bag with goodies and enjoy them back at home. Gluten and lactose free options are available. There are also Urban Deli branches in Sickla and Sveavägen.

3. Greasy Spoon

A popular hub among expats, Greasy Spoon in the Södermalm district is run by two British friends who started the cafe after they had tried but failed to find any places for a decent full-on English breakfast in Stockholm. Go here for the great banter and the scrumptious comfort food: beans on toast, bacon, eggs Benedict, pancakes, plenty of vegetarian options, and for the adventurous perhaps even a cheeky Bloody Mary. The melodies pouring out of the vintage jukebox are not bad either. A full English is priced at 119 kronor ($14.50)

Opening Times: Monday - Friday: 7.30am - 5pm, Saturday-Sunday: 9am - 5pm

4. Café Blå Lotus

A student and hipster favourite for years, Café Blå Lotus - also situated on the island of Södermalm - is so old school it doesn't even have a website or open until 9am. But this is the place to taste organic, sweet, homemade pastries accompanied by a vast selections and teas. Breakfast starts at 55 kronor (a little under $7) for a healthy yoghurt served with nuts, honey and berries alongside a coffee and a juice. The sandwich menu is constantly updated and the unusual oriental décor and friendly staff here create a cosy atmosphere year-round.
