Inflated Tea

So I am just learning Open Street Maps, but after the Massive Inflation that has come along, leaving coffee and tea prices at a gobsmacking 35-40 krona (3-4 Euro), I have set about trying to map cheaper spots in my home city of Stockholm. Here is a list, where Coffee and/or Tea is 15:- - 20:-. My first attempt did not turn up in searches - I guess the “Description” field doesn’t work for that.

Since toilets often cost 5:- 10:- kronor in Stockholm – a truly foul practice! – I have included information in this list as to which offer them for Free. There are several Panini Internazionales that do not have seating. I have only listed places where you can Sit here …

You should also know that public libraries also charge money for the priveledge of going to the bathroom in Stockholm, so they are not a good bet for Free places to sit - disgusting and fascist!

I have not included McDonalds, Max, Burger King or other fast food places here because I have trouble with the way the smell (or lets be honest- stink) of the disgusting food they sell. What is more, they are all on the HIGH side of cheap, charging at least 24:- or 25:- to sit in their nasty establishments with a small coffee or tea. Panini and the Grocery store cafes are chains, but innocuous ones as chains go, and I have done my best to locate locally owned cafes that don’t bar anyone who isn’t rich from sitting in their establishments by not having a single thing a normal person can afford.

Stadsmission Mötesplats vid Mariatorget In addition to very cheap lunches for students, pensioners, and those in need, they have 25:- coffee and tea, less if you are a student or pensioner. (has toilet)

Stories Cafe at KTH 20:- tea and single espresso, toilet situation unknown

Bagel Cafe Fridhemsnplan 20:- Single Espresso (has toilet) Extra Note: Vete Katten (near Centralen, Fridhemsplan and Skanstull)

Vete Katten is Mad Expensive - BUT their pots of tea are Large and can (surreptitiously) be shared, making it 25:- each for two people. Most cafes do not serve tea that way, unfortunately … so if you are with a friend it’s a a possibility for cheap fika. (has toilet).

I will add more as I find them … and I hope I figure out how to properly map them soon!
