Scandinavian Kitchen in City of London, Westminster

Has a really good selection of pick and mix! If you are a liquorice lover this is the place to come!

Have been coming to scandi kitchen for years now! They now have scandinavian candy pick and mix, GAME CHANGER specially for salty licorice lovers. Don’t miss the filter coffee, cinnamon buns and open faced sandwiches. Have hardly ever been to a cafe with such consistency and quality for over 6 years now!!

Very good Scandinavian store with a good selection! Pick & mix loose sweets at a good price

Amazing pick and choose candy! I’m from Sweden so going here really gives me joy. Very fresh

they have a brilliant lösgodis selection!! 10/10

What a nice, easy place to have lunch. Great food. The open sandwiches aren’t big, but they’re lovely, and enough. Meatballs with salad was tremendous. Went once for lunch on a London visit, then went back again the next day. Visit the shop, too. Small, but all the stuff you need. Thanks.

Absolutley amazing range of pick'n' mix! Best scandi shop in the UK!

Best Scandi food and great pick n mix!

Delicious bag of pick n mix sweets at this delightful cafe. Amazing meatballs and semlor !!

I have been here many years before, when there was completely different layout to the whole shop. Now there is a seating in the back and a shop downstairs. I have not given this five stars, Due to quite an unfriendly set up as you walk into the shop. it is difficult to see all that is on offer through the glass and by looking at some of the food you’re at the front of the queue and in the way of other people and feel rushed. The staff are fine but you feel you are in their way by looking at the produce. Seating seems quite uncomfortable, with little stools here and there. There is a toilet downstairs which is very clean and good. I have given the food 1 star due to quite extortionate prices. This is not Sweden… I think £4.50 for Semla in London is £1 overpriced at least.

Excellent value for money and good coffee spot for brunch or to meet a friend. Food was good - Open sandwiches and salads were delicious and fairly good value for money in Central London. - Meatballs were tasty and good value. Feedback would be to work on the gravy sauce since it needs a bit more. Filter coffee was good value for money and with unlimited refills for £3, difficult to beat Went on a Sunday afternoon and was able to get a seat but can be busy. Decent

as a London Swede, I appreciate this place so much! makes me feel very much at home <3 it’s so nice to have a place with good-quality fresh scandinavian food, i am always so intrigued by the counter of open sandwiches, and the delightful selection of bakes goods. also if you go, you should definitely check out their store downstairs for a variety of scandinavian snacks and food. thank you for keeping me stocked up on falukorv <3 the staff are also incredibly sweet and helpful! i recently tried their classic semla, which was quite fine, unfortunately the bun was a bit dry and lacked cardamom flavour, and i thought there was not nearly enough almond paste. however, i also tried the kanelbulle-semla from my friend and it was a bit better, softer and flavourful. still could’ve had more cinnamon in my opinion. i’m very picky though because i’m Swedish :). the filter coffee gets a strong approval though, it was spectacularly brewed :). would love to return and try their other things some day!

Great pick & mix selection! Was able to find all my favourite Swedish candies here! Would recommend!!

We love love love the pick n mix at Scandi Kitchen!!!

Lovely Swedish food shop, my mum likes that she can reminisce on her childhood looking at all the Scandinavian foods

Brilliant cafe with amazing Scandinavian pick and mix selection!

As a Dane this shop is a blessing and the best place to enable my liquorice addiction! They also serve amazing drinks and I wish I could spend all my time and money there

Great place to grab an easy bits. Staffs are all kind and lovely people ! Also nice bags of pick and mix !!

Fantastic pick and mix if you go downstairs. Lots of choice. Great Scandi food and coffee.

Love this shop so much for all my scandi goods! A huge selection of the best Nordic pick & mix!

A really good shop full of licorice and other delights

Best Scandi food and products in London hands down

Amazing service and food!! Would 100% recommend and very authentic homemade scandi food love the meatballs! 😋

Amazing selection, must visit and try !

Best place for Scandi food in London!! Always amazing food service and pick and mix!

Best shop for scandi goods, even has a pick n mix selection!

Cutest little cafè, AND they have pick & mix!

Great options, good coffee. Though they are definitely made by the variety and taste of their open sandwiches (and salads) which are amazing all super fresh and full of flavour. Nice interior though sometimes it is harder to get a table.

This delectable cinnamon bun has become my preferred sweet treat. I prefer getting it to-go because it gets quite busy and sometimes hard to find a table.

Thrilled to visit after buying online numerous times! The food was so fresh, tasty and generous and staff really friendly and relaxed. Also there were so many delicious looking options. It's a small cosy place with nice decor and the little shop with all the goodies was lovely to see in the flesh, so to speak!

beautiful atmosphere, i went with my aunt at 15h00 or so, wasn’t too busy. Hot chocolate was delicious and service was good

I like this place, used to pop there for lunch where I was working nearby. Whoever’s writing the fun messages on the board outside, please don’t stop!! The staff here are friendly and the food and coffee is good - my fave is the veggie meatballs and mash! Downstairs there is also a cute little shop selling scandi goods.

Love this authentic scandinavian cafe/ shop. At the top they sell coffee and pastries and at the bottom they have groceries. I think they have soy milk and other plant based alternstives as far as I remember. Pretty nice cinnamon rolls according to my friends but not much glutenfree stuff.

Superb, Superb, Superb!!! The bigest disappointment: there is no ScandiKitchen in Liverpool......yet! Please, Brontë, make this a top priority ASAP :-) ----- or even quicker :-))

Always a favorite destination when I am in the west end

Visited this place so many times because this is probably the only place in central London with a big choice of authentic Nordic food! The supermarket downstairs has a lot of Nordic candies (famous brands like Maribou, Fazer, and Freia), jams, frozen meats and bread. They are mostly from Sweden/Norway, but they also have some Finnish stuff (such as Long Drinks!). This is definitely a place that gives me Nordic nostalgia! Their open sandwiches from the cafe are the best (especially the salmon one), and the prices are great as well

Very crowded, I use a roller and it was very hard to get in couldn't get a seat. Staff was blasé and not very helpful. Went downstairs to the shop bit, took me 5 minutes to get down the stairs (not a chance to get to the shop bit if you're in a wheelchair). I won't be back, definitely not worth the trip from Manchester...

Really good coffee, and pastries; fine selection of open sandwiches. Downstairs you will find an excellent selection of Scandinavian foods. The staff are very friendly - special praise for Freya who was super helpful.

Love the cafe . Open sandwiches , salads, and cakes. Don't forget to try the cinnamon buns. After you had a hot drink and something to eat, it is time to go downstairs to buy sweets or food to take home.

Enjoyed some tasty meatballs and yummy cakes here this week. Probably nothing could be done about this, but tables are very close together so not much space to put clothes in the winter.

I miss going to Sweden so coming here is the next best thing :)

10/10 all around. Service is fast, Swedish meatballs are great, price is reasonable. Would recommend for lunch or a coffee.

Fantastic coffee - sadly the worst Semla in London. Underbaked bun, small compared to competitors, barely any cardamom in the bun, nor almondmass (mandelmassa) inside the Semla. Shame as its a great spot other wise! I recommend Fabrique or Bageriet for a Fettisdags treat instead.

I love this place... and I think what's written in the WC is so funny... very clean place. Great food ...

Very good sandwich. Beautiful environment. The Scandinavian store has everything you miss from the Nordics.

Interesting products for sale. Fresh sandwiches looked very fresh and lovely

I've only ordered online but the products are fantastic. Particularly love the Cinnamon buns – Kanelbullar!!!

I like this place. It's different, it's convenient, it's friendly and it's good value. Unfortunately, yesterday wasn't so great. The table we sat at hadn't been cleaned so I got a wet tissue and wiped up the stickiness myself. When our coffees were brought, one was slopped extensively in the saucer. The waitress also dripped milk on my leg. The straw we'd requested didn't arrive. There were a lot of flies around, presumably something to do with the dying plants near us. Some rather passive-aggressive notices on the wall request 'no laptops at busy times'. Not very welcoming. And we were reminded sharpish that 'we'll be closing in five minutes'. However, the coffee was great, the food is always tasty and the seating is welcoming. They are also the only place I know that sells packets of 'Spunk'. The above criticisms are minor; they can be easily addressed. And I'm sure they will be.

Visited the shop in the basement which sells quirky Scandinavian goods ...

I liked the place outside, cozy street, but I think inside needs improvement as there wasn’t enough space to move at some point. Luckily the weather was good enough to sit on the lovely bench outside and to enjoy Scandinavian. I would suggest to visit early, as at 2 pm on Sunday they were already out of some menu positions. Downstairs there’s a small store where you can get anything you like. I definitely liked service and the taste of food. Probably will visit again.

As a Dane, then it was nice to see that there were some good option for rugbrød. We have ordered online from their store before, but it was excellent to see the selection live and get some good old Danish things.

My husband placed an order for Christmas. They delivered the wrong item. Dragging their feet and providing absolutely awful customer service. The shop is now closed for Christmas, so we can't even order the correct items. They're demanding we send the items back and wouldn't provide us a refund or a resolution to their own mess up. Nevermind that they might then re-sell the item that was in our possession - how do you know it's safe? Can't believe the attitude towards their customers.

I have received my very first home delivery, as I lived in Denmark for many years, there is oh so much i have missed and now I have found Skandikitchen, my delivery was fast and well packed I was well impressed so much I'm placing another order today, i would strongly recommend glaedelig Jul

We came on a rainy day to try some Scandinavian products. They have the cafe upstairs and a shop on the lower ground floor or Scandinavian goods. The place has a few tables but it is not huge. The staff was a bit random, didn't clean the table properly or in time they would sort of ghost you but overall the experience was ok

This is a gem! Absolutely delicious food & coffee. Perfect chew to the bread, crunch in the pickled onion, fennel, creamy mayo & egg and Atlantic salmon to top it off. Don't miss out. Oh and the cinnamon roll won't disappoint either!

Lovely open sandwiches, but sadly not as good value for money as it used to be.

Buzzy Scandi cafe but £4.30 for a decaf ost latte is a bit steep…

Really good spot for Swedish meatballs in central London, extremely well priced.

Cinnamon bun was okay, not too sweet but quite bready Coffee was also ok 👌🏻 I quite like the little supermarket downstairs:)

Love coming here! Delicious food and drinks to remind me of Scandinavia, and although small, the music and staff help to capture the hygge vibe. My favourite part is the shop downstairs! Pick and mix sweets, seasonal treats, and cultural delicacies all available. I could spend ages just browsing.

Fantastic place with the best treats and food items from home!

For cold light, nice decorations and furniture. Classic food that is typical of Scandinavia.

Great cafe and shop! Love their veggie meatballs- they look and taste like the real thing and come with nice mash, gravy and jam. I always come here every time I'm in London to take some interesting Scandi snacks back home.

As ever, lovely visit to Scandi Kitchen and grocery store for lunch and food shop. Open sandwiches and cinnamon buns were the order of the day, with good coffee. Shame they don't have skolebolle more regularly. Can get very busy at lunch time with many folk having takeaways. Luckily we got there about 12noon.

I was excited to visit for coffee and cake yesterday - Saturday. Everything looked beautiful - especially the open sandwiches. I ordered a slice of banana cake for my husband and a slice of Princess torta for me. We ordered a tea and a filter coffee. I totally appreciate that it was Saturday and busy but my cake was served on a hot plate so the cream was melting and thrown in the side. This cake is one of the classics so should have been treated as such. Our food and drinks were literally dumped on the table! My coffee was stone cold. We were disappointed. We however had travelled to purchase from the shop in person rather than online and we were delighted with the selection. Lots of my childhood favourites. At all times, the staff were lovely and could do with a little more support at very busy times/days to make the experience better for everyone.

As a Scandinavian myself who grew it eating Swedish meatballs, I unfortunately have to say that these “meatballs” are the worst I’ve ever tasted. No seasoning, tasted awful, looked like they were boiled and just not appetizing. The mash was drowning in gravy, making everything soggy. Please change recipe to something that resembles actual Swedish meatballs :( We both had to leave without finishing our food. The staff was friendly and nice restaurant layout.

As a swede in england, this made me feel at home!! Great service! Even a norwigean speaking member of staff, so many good things on the menu and even a grocery store with just scandinavian products! Will definitely recommend and come back 😊

Nice place..but don't order meat It is a coffee, breakfast and sweets shop

Wonderful place full of tasty food! Friendly staff. And the tiny shop downstairs is also great!

Stopped by to buy some scandi sweets from the shop and bought a cinnamon roll to takeaway. Great stock of scandi groceries and delicious buns. Will be back to sample the full cafe!

Everything you want and need from Sandinavia! Wide variety of Scandinavian treats! Highly recommended.

Cappuccino is very bitter and foam is not mixed with coffee (sits on top like from an automatic machine)

Used to love coming here, now I find the crockery, glasses, toilet facilities are dirty and the service is not as friendly and organised. Had porridge this morning and it was tasteless and cold, coffee lukewarm…

Good coffee and good area to go with laptops and do some work. They even have food to go or to have in.

Very good, tasty sandwich dish and dessert at the top, pleasant service, a little musty smell inside.

great place. it has a little mini supermarket with Scandinavian product in the basement

Should have better seating positions outside,the tables are wobbly!

Absolutely heaven for scandi lovers, lovely staff great selection of scandi sweets and crisps always a favourite go to for my swedish wife.

Great cafe selling treats from across Scandinavia.

Delicious sandwich and salad. The cinnamon bun is one of the best - very fresh.

Excellent food and very attentive service, no complaints. The groceries were well laid out, easy to find and very affordable! Avoid peak lunch/dinner times as it can get a little busy, but even then it is a good atmosphere!

A little flavour of home, thank you. Coffees good, bulla better and open sandwiches delicious. Also stock up on your Swedish essentials in the shop downstairs.

Helpful, kind staff. Nice selection in the shop downstairs.

Latest review: Have been a semi-regular customer since my first review. I love this place. The food is delicious and a good price. I love the downstairs section too. Will continue to visit. Quite easily my favourite spot in the whole of London. Scandinavian food honestly doesn’t get as much love as it deserves. It’s one of the best in the world. Would love to see more salmon. —— Old review: I was looking for some authentic Scandinavian food and I found this place. I ordered the Swedish meatballs and a salmon smørresbrød with a latte. The place was very popular and there was a long line. The staff were helpful, but I didn’t know if I had to wait in line or find a seat. It would be nice to have some signs to make it clear. The meatballs were delicious, with a nice gravy and berries. The mashed potato was smooth and creamy. The only thing I would change is the presentation, which was a bit messy. The smørresbrød was also very good, with fresh and tasty ingredients. The oat latte was smooth and flavorful. I decided to buy some groceries from downstairs, but the register was closed. There was a sign telling me to go upstairs, but I wasn’t sure if I had to join the lunch line or go to the front. I waited in the lunch line, but I think there should be a separate line for groceries, since it takes less time. The staff were friendly and polite, and the place had a nice and cozy atmosphere. I found that the prices were very reasonable as well.

I have been here quite a few times now and enjoy the food and ambiance. The inconsistency is the quality of customer service. Sometimes the staff are friendly and helpful. Other times they do not even greet you hello or smile. It may be helpful to give customers a table number holder so the staff do not have to shout out the orders and customers do not have to keep a lookout

If you’re not local to shop and need to order online for delivery in the S East, this used to be very reliable but since Evri took on deliveries, it has clearly been too much bother for the new contractor to do deliveries ‘out in the sticks’ unless, presumably, it’s worth their while - despite making all the right comms ‘parcel on its way’, ‘… now delivered and in safe place’. Almost invariably nothing is delivered on time (a critical factor where food is concerned), even though they say it has (without giving any evidence), and one is forced to try and navigate the system to try and get the delivery reinstated. The onus is on you to try and somehow sort out their lackadaisical mess.

Beautiful café with super yummy sandwiches. Coffee was ok. The place looks beautiful too!

Lots of staff onside, but hanging around chatting between themselves rather than offering quick service to customers.

I thought I would pop in on Friday as I was visiting Oxford st, I ordered a Latte and a cinnamon bun, the coffee tasted lovely and the cinnamon bun was lovely and soft and fresh, I can highly recommend both, the staff were friendly and the cafe itself was busy but even so you were served quickly, lovely atmosphere, went downstairs to view the shop and was impressed with the selection of items for sale and the helpful member of staff, would highly recommend if your popping by for a takeaway or to eat in.

I 100% recommend the Scandinavian kitchen for authentic, Scandinavian food, especially the meatballs and mash!! It's so cosy inside and the staff are always lovely and helpful. Don't forget to go downstairs and check out the shop they have, my go to place to get proper liquorice!

Tasty herring sandwich. Cinnamon rolls. There‘s also a kiosk downstairs with Scandinavian (mostly Swedish) items like chocolate, sweets, etc

We loved finding this stop on our trip to London. We had great food and coffee. They had a meatball sandwich the first day I went that had a delicious tart and sweet beet spread on it and I find myself thinking about it still!

Quick tasty hot food at a very reasonable price. What more could you want?

Lovely cafe offering a good selection of healthy Danish sandwiches as well as sweet treats. Excellent and friendly service.

Great place for a light meal and coffee!

Great little scandi cafe. Some of the items take you back home. Nice shop downstairs. Dreamcake is very nice. If you are around the area. Try it.

A nice place for lunch, or a coffee/snack to get you by in your day. Staff were extremely lovely and helpful in explaining all the different food options, and we definitely got to travel the world with our tastebuds! I originally came for the Pickled Herring, however these apparently go like hot cakes so the early bird gets the fish! Having said that, the Swedish meatballs were also divine, accompanied by some pickled beetroot on slice of rye bread. If you can’t get enough of their food, you can also purchase ingredients to bring the taste of Scandinavia to your door. Look out for the stairs and head down to find the hidden gems!

Cute. Love the store downstairs. The Cafe is warm and cosy. The food in itself is not exactly complex nor highly technical (dare I say, just a step above Ikea level), which doesnt do justice to the Nordic gastronomy, but it's nice enough for its price point. My hotdog's low quality sausage was bland, with the mustard and ketchup the only thing giving it flavour. Still worth a visit if you from the North beyond the wall and desperately missing home.

Cute fun lil cafe with reasonable prices for food food. The meatballs were lovely and I hope to try the open sandwiches

The hotdog was good but missing a bit of taste. Unfortunately it didn’t have the raw onions and the mustard was way too sweet. They should allow customers to choose between sweet mustard and spicy mustard
