WILMER i Vasastan

the filter coffee here is worth slowing down for, which is reason enough to visit wilmer on a weekday when the pace on sankt eriksgatan hasn't quite kicked in yet. vasastan runs quieter than stockholm's more tourist-heavy pockets, and this part of the city tends to attract people who actually live nearby rather than people ticking off a list. what you get at a place like this, when it's genuinely well regarded among locals, is a certain lack of performance. nobody's trying to impress you. the coffee just has to be good. and from what the locals keep saying, it consistently is. if you're in the neighbourhood, the filter is your starting point.
