The story behind the café

About Tigre

Tigre started with a simple idea: to create a neighborhood coffee place with character.

The name Tigre connects us to nature and to the places where coffee begins. Behind every cup are landscapes, farms, people and communities, often far away from Stockholm. We want to keep that connection present — in the coffee we choose, the materials around us and the stories we tell.

The tiger gives us our personality: distinctive, curious, confident and a little playful. Something you remember, but never something that takes itself too seriously.

A place for people

At its heart, Tigre is about people. We want to be part of the neighborhood — a place where you can come for a really good coffee, sit for a while, meet someone, work, have something to eat, or simply become a regular.

We like things that feel honest and alive. Good ingredients, thoughtful coffee, natural materials, plants, objects with personality and a space that doesn't feel overly designed or corporate.

Coffee has an origin. Places have a personality. And Tigre should always have both.
