Vegetarian café in Haga, Gothenburg

Homemade with love since 1983

About us

Caféva was founded in 1983 by Eva Nylén and has been at the heart of Haga ever since. We serve homemade vegetarian food in a setting that feels more like a warm living room than a restaurant.

Every day we make a new soup from scratch, bake our bread and cakes on site. Our herb bread roll with flavourful Gouda cheese has become a neighbourhood classic. We also offer vegan options — just ask the staff.

Our coffee and tea are organically grown and Fairtrade-certified, because that matters to us. We're a café without pretension — just honest, good food in a cosy setting.

What our guests say

"The best soups I have had anywhere I've travelled — almost worth the trip to Sweden to enjoy a bowl of soup and a cheese sandwich."

"Cosy and homemade. Small menu, but the feta pie with salad is marvellous. Very good carrot soup with ginger."

— TripAdvisor

"Caféva reminds you of the olden days in Haga. Delicious soups, homemade bread with cheese, and then a cup of coffee. Always friendly."

"The vegan cinnamon bun and chocolate cake were delicious, and you get free coffee or tea with that."
