Our story

We took the coffee break out of the bakery, and turned it into a culture.

In 1994, four friends opened the first Waynes in central Stockholm, a cozy coffee shop that launched with a media buzz and even the Swedish royal family in attendance.

Curiosity and a passion for new flavors led to a fresh concept that combined quality coffee with unique Scandinavian design, setting a new standard for modern European coffee culture.

Waynes has always been more than coffee. We brought fika out of the home and into the city, turning it into a social ritual. A welcoming place for conversations, fresh food, and Swedish fika, enriched by Italian coffee artistry: a break from the day, an opportunity to connect over a cup, anytime.

Wayne Says:

Life happens. Fika helps.

Markets

A Swedish idea, brewed around the world.

From Stockholm to six markets and counting: each run by local partners who carry the same craft and the same welcome.

Why Waynes

More than a cup. A second home.

Waynes Coffee is a Swedish coffee shop: organic coffee and tea, fresh-baked fika and proper food, served somewhere you actually want to linger. If you share our passion for taste, sustainability and real hospitality, we’d love to bring the brand to your market.
