Coffee by the Landsjön lake

Nestled in the idyllic Äppledalen, just a stone’s throw from Landsjön, you’ll find Grafitgrå – a seamless blend of an interior design store, café, and fashion boutique under one roof.

Grafitgrå started as a small venture, born from an inspirational blog that reignited the creative spirit behind its designs. In 2012, the first store opened in an old smithy, and since then, the brand has grown, offering a wider selection in a larger space.

The products are mostly self-designed and crafted in Sweden and Nepal, inspired by the natural grayscale. Their signature concrete furniture is locally produced in Småland, with concrete cast in Kaxholmen and metalwork completed nearby.

Delicious coffee and tasty lunches

Within the same space as the design and fashion boutique, the café offers a wide range of treats. The interior reflects the same Scandinavian minimalist style as the products – a serene environment in natural tones perfect for enjoying a meal.

The café features spacious outdoor seating on both sides of the building, making it easy to find a sunny or shaded spot on warm days.

The menu offers something for everyone, from hearty meals to homemade baked goods, using seasonal and local ingredients. Gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan options are always available. Families will appreciate the kid-friendly menu, a play corner indoors, a sandbox outdoors, high chairs, and a changing table.

Don’t miss their popular flatbreads – oven-baked bread topped with delicious seasonal ingredients.

If you’d prefer to take your coffee or meal to go, there’s a nearby swimming area with a playground, outdoor gym, and green spaces just a short walk away.

Events and experiences

Grafitgrå hosts various events, including regular parent breakfasts, evening gatherings, and private bookings.
