StikkiNikki

Two years ago, I would have walked 30min out of my way for a StikkiNikki — this is no longer necessary as the pink shops are popping up in every neighbourhood and one only a 5min walk from my flat (though the location on Mariatorget remains my favourite) Maybe the honeymoon is over, and it is no longer so special to get an ice cream above and beyond the standard GB/​Sia variety — the range of small-​scale frozen creations available to purchase has increased exponentially.
The consistency and density of the gelato and sorbet is top-​notch, but w/​the exception of perhaps 3 flavours that I can think of (vegan chocolate, lemon meringue and basil lemon) the overall taste is just indistinctly SWEET with little sense of what the flavour is meant to be. I have more than once found myself standing on the opposite side of the freezer thinking it will be hard to decide, when actually I am not tempted at all.
I understand that a certain amount of sugar is necessary to maintain a creamy texture, but sometimes wonder if the «cooks» get a bit freehanded and lose track of the measures. I realise that in Stockholm most people are happy to buy whatever is «in» but for now I’m out. I refilled a litre container yesterday and think it will last a while. I can pass it off on some guests!

This gelato shop definitely beats all ice cream shops in Stockholm, and I recommend it strongly.
All the flavours are vegetarian, vegan and (I think) gluten free.
All flavours are delicious, organic and homemade, and it’s great that the number of Stikkinikki stores is growing. I bought a 1L box (there is also the choice of 0,5L) for me and my friend to take home, and they told us that if we wash the box after finishing the ice cream and bring it with us next time, then we will receive a 30kr discount.
Overall the staff is kind, the ice cream and drinks are good, and the shop is a great success.

Any ice cream (besides Ben and Jerry’s) that you buy in the container has dismal texture. So it is FAR BETTER to go to your local ice cream option. StikkiNikki would be such a place. Pretty good ice cream, though nothing particularly life changing. MULTIPLE VEGAN/​LACTOSE FREE options, including a creamy tasting texture one (not just icy sorbet). Convenient locations. Perfect for take away, lack of indoor seating, but during the summer everyone likes to stroll around joyfully eating, so shouldn’t be too limiting.

Some flavors are better than others, but all in all, this really is great ice cream/​gelato. E.g. the chocolate sorbet — I could not believe how something so rich and creamy could be dairy-​free!
Flavors rotate frequently so keep an eye out on what they post on social media to get an idea.
BIG plus that it’s organic/​KRAV-​certified!

Ice-​cream that comfortably beats anything in Stockholm, Sweden and probably most of the rest of the world. And on top of that it’s all natural and organic.
Flavours range from vanilla, chocolate and strawberry to Nikki’s own creations and more exotic stuff like messmör (Scandinavian whey cheese). They are usually more intense than elsewhere regardless of content.
Also serves some coffee, tea and soft drinks but they are below average. Go for the ice-​cream instead.

The ice-​cream is good and has this right ice-​cream texture. Although, it was not the best pistachio ice-​cream ever (pistachio is everything to me), but the portion is generous and the waffle is also tastes good and crispy.
Other thing to mention — personnel: very friendly and with a good sense of humor!

So I gotta say Stockholm probably isn’t known for their gelato, ahahah, but gotta love the super awesome people and the city!
I had been using only my credit card in Stockholm, but when I got in to StikkiNikki, I was bummed to find out this place was cash only. The lady was extra nice, and accepted my Euros and gave me SEK back.
I had the mocha flavored ice cream in waffle cone, and the single scoop serving was very generous. The waffle cone was crunchy and tasty, but the ice cream just tasted icy and watery as the flavor wasn’t infused.
Later as I was strolling through the city, I stumbled upon another StikkiNikki that had different flavors, such as Tin Roof (peanut and fudge swirl in vanilla — I was super excited for the crunchy texture!) and salted caramel. I tried those samples and again it was very watery and the flavor wasn’t infused. If this were the United States these would be baller flavors…
Side note, why do Scandinavians like their licorice so much?! There was a salted licorice flavor, and all over the grocery stores, there are licorice candies. I remember when I went to Iceland there was licorice everywhere as well.

A friend took us here for ice cream and it was amazing. Perfect for an warm-​ish summer day in Stockholm. This was real ice cream, by the way… not from a soft serve machine or some factory, but hand made.

The first time I came, I shared a three flavor cup with my sister and we chose Tin Roof, Chocolate, and Cookies and Cream. The chocolate was our least favorite but it was still good. Tin roof has peanut chunks in it which was tasty. The cookies and cream was very different from the cookies and cream ice cream flavor in the US. It used a different cookie than Oreos but it was good and the cookies were crunchy in the ice cream. The second time I came, I got a two flavor waffle cone with mint chocolate chip and hazelnut. The mint chocolate chip was really refreshing and the waffle cone didn’t cost anything extra. I also tried the salted caramel, mango sorbet, and lemon/​apple/​green tea sorbet. The salted caramel was my favorite and the sorbets were really refreshing as well. Each ice cream has its own scoop which keeps it sanitary and they pile on the ice cream. Definitely give this place a try if you’re in Sweden!

This gelato is amazing and they give heaping spoonfuls. The flavors are ever-​changing and always delicious. Good price, worth the wait.

Geniales Eiscafe in Södermalm. Wir sind nur durch Zufall daran vorbei gelaufen und haben uns von dem lustigen Logo neugierig machen lassen. Und es hat sich echt gelohnt.
Das Eis ist aus natürlichen Zutaten hergestellt, ohne künstliche Aromastoffe oder Konservierungsmittel. Die Auswahl ist nicht riesig, die Kugeln dafür umsomehr. Die zwei Kugeln (siehe Foto) haben für den Rest des Tages ausgereicht !!! Und der Geschmack war der Hammer.
Fazit: Eins der besten Eis-​Cafes, die ich je besucht habe. Ein weiterer Besuch lässt sich nicht vermeiden!
