Cafe Avenyn

Find Your Best Cafe on the Avenue

Avenyn is Gothenburg’s main street and between 2015-2020, Avenyn has become increasingly cafe-dense, with everything from the city’s best-known niche hipster cafés and coffee shops to local and national café chains now found here. On this page we want to help you find and understand which cafes are on the Avenue so you can find your cafe or try new cafes, we present the cafes primarily based on their coffee focus. Sharing coffee knowledge and coffee experiences is something we want to do and we try not to limit ourselves to our own, but also to share, we want to encourage you to visit different places, experience different environments, different coffees, different coffee flavours, different coffee cups, different coffee machines, espresso machines and brewing methods. We love coffee and we want to encourage you to experience more coffee and find your favourite coffee shop, whether it’s the environment, taste or quality that you appreciate most. Don’t forget to ask the different cafés about which country the beans come from, what kind of beans they use, such as Arabica or Robusta, which roastery roasts the coffee, how hard the beans are roasted, what flavour tones you can expect, etc. The more you ask, the more you learn and the more fun and enjoyable the coffee experience will be. But most importantly, enjoy the coffee!
