The Italian Cousins

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Taste of Italy on Odengatan

On a quiet stretch of Odengatan in Stockholm, The Italian Cousins has built something straightforward and honest: a sourdough Italian bakery and specialty coffee destination that takes its craft seriously enough to earn a 2-slice recognition from Gambero Rosso, Italy's most authoritative food guide. That kind of endorsement means something — it places The Italian Cousins in company that Italian food lovers trust.

Sourdough, Coffee, and the Artisan Approach

The identity here is clear from the homepage up: this is a sourdough Italian bakery first, a specialty coffee bar second, and a full-service restaurant and catering operation alongside. The menu spans aperitivo, salumi, primi piatti, dolci, and a selection of drinks that leans Italian — organic Bio Cola, Bio Limonata, Italian sparkling water — alongside the classics. It's a range that reflects how Italians actually eat across the day, from a morning coffee to an evening aperitivo.

Multiple Locations, One Standard

What started as a single address has grown into a small artisanal chain with locations across Stockholm — in the City at Sergelgatan, on Kungsholmen at Fleminggatan, on Södermalm at Hornsgatan, and the Odengatan address that also offers a private chambre séparée for groups. The consistency of the offer across locations, and the Gambero Rosso recognition that backs it, suggests the quality travels with the concept.

Catering, B2B supply, table service, takeaway, and online ordering round out an operation that is as practical as it is passionate about Italian food done right.
