I hold a fairly high bar when it comes to quality in the cup and to the professionalism of the people behind the bar. Johan & Nyström not only met but exceeded those expectations. I had their batch brew made with the Strawberry Roast. While batch brew often plays second fiddle to hand-brewed methods, this cup demonstrated just how refined a well-prepared batch brew can be. The coffee was vibrant, with a clean fruit profile and a subtle retro-nasal strawberry note that lingered beautifully. Balanced, expressive, and highly enjoyable – proof that a batch brew can absolutely showcase the nuances of a carefully sourced and roasted coffee. I also purchased beans to take home, and the advice I received from the barista was spot-on. Their knowledge was clear, but what struck me most was the way they shared it: approachable, enthusiastic, and with genuine passion. Watching them work made it obvious that they not only understand their craft but also enjoy it, which is something you can taste in the final product. In short, Johan & Nyström deliver exactly what a specialty coffee shop should: excellent coffee, prepared with care, and a team that clearly takes pride in what they do.

Cappu ist lecker. Ist aber teuer im Vergleich zu anderen Cafés. Die Lage ist aber schön am Meer. Das Gebäck hat uns persönlich auch nicht überzeugt.
