da Matteo

I was visiting Gothenburg, wanted to have a ‘fika’ in nice place and then work a bit. Have to admit, coffee is excellent, however, the place is not really comfortable. Chairs are awful, not really suitable for sitting longer than 15 min in my opinion. The place is apparently popular, so it’s loud. If you want only coffee, then the place is fine. If you need to work a bit, then the place is not suitable at all.
Positive side: decent internet connection.

What can I say? Probably the best coffee I’ve had, I think. I drank it without sugar, which is highly unusual for me. The space is also quite amazing, very raw but cosy at the same time, you basically have your coffee where the owner keeps his big coffee bean bags, a sort of mini warehouse. A must see for any coffee lover in Göteborg!

I visited Gothenburg a city where I lived for 7 years before my nice to Oslo. But one thing I always wanted to try but never got the time to do is to try café Da Matteo. It’s mentioned in several international magazines and papers and is to be seen as the best café in Gothenburg if I got it right. Its also mentioned in the Swedish White Guide that rank the best places in Sweden to eat and drink.
So I finally tried it. I tried the nougat Croissant and the apple juice. Nothing very spectacular to try and all this where good. In fact it was very good but not the best I ever tried of the top croissant of apple juice. I had higher expectations after read and heard all about it.
However the the environment where cool it’s located in a very central but still a bit secluded part of the city and with a little square in front of it with trendy stores which I also visited. But the setting of the café is old fashion. The best feature is its location and interior or to be able to sit outside and look at people. I would try it again if I got the chance.

I love everything about this place. Perfect place for fika! They have thee best coffee (in my opinion) in göteborg centrum. This place is so classic, in the «hipster» part of göteborg.

I live in Seattle and finding great coffee drinking it is a major hobby of mine. I have traveled a lot and have never found coffee is good in Europe. If you know better spots let me know if this is the best in Gothenburg 100%

Good coffee, and nice location! My favourite shop in Gothenburg is its neighbour — Grandpa. Right across you’ll also find Artilleriet, worth a visit for the interior design interested. Convenient to stop by the café on the way to or from different shops in Magasingatan for a caffeine booster. I’ve also tried the pizza once. It was fine, but not amazing. At Da Matteo, I usually just have coffee and a cinnamon roll.

Great coffie for real coffie lovers, cozy place and good pizza for lunch. In the sun you can sit outside. It was a long line to buy food and coffie but it went very quick because the staff were effective and were working in a hurry. I will really recommend this place!

Very convival place. They didn’t have icetea on the menu, but still made it when I asked about it :)

Great coffee, albeit not really as hot as it should be. Carrotcake was ok. Service was simple but adequate.

There are several coffee shops with as good coffee.
I wish tourists could try more than just this place before saying this is the best place in Gothenburg…

Great coffee and lively atmosphere with 90’s pop music.

Best Apple Cake I’ve ever had.
Best Pesto Pizza I’ve ever had.
Coffee was of a high standard.
Wow. I dont think I need to say more. Also. theres fantastic outdoor seating. If I was a local, I’d be here very very often!!!

I have been to Da Matteo several times. Both the coffee and the pastries have been great every single time. I am a big fan of strong coffee and I have been disappointed by some other more popular coffee joints in Gbg, but Da Matteo always delivers. Watch out for the long queues :)

My cappuccino was strong with good foam (even latte art); our pastries (an äpplekaka and a nutella-​filled sfogliatelle) were tasty and crisp. I didn’t order a pizza, but the one I saw handed off to the person in front of me in line looked and smelled fantastic.
The folks here take their craft seriously, offering a selection of house-​roasted espresso beans and even hosting barista workshops throughout the year.
Amusing late-90’s pop music playing in the background seemed less image-​conscious than other aspects of the environment might suggest (or maybe I’m finally old enough to miss what counts as retro).
The outdoor courtyard would be nice on a less blustery day, but for us there was plenty of space inside. Free wifi. A good little coffee spot in Göteborg!
