Vallgatan
Sweden
,
Gothenburg
Tucked into the courtyard at the corner of Vallgatan and Magasinsgatan, this da Matteo flagship feels like a sunlit oasis in the middle of Gothenburg’s city centre. Inside, concrete, wood, brick and steel create a lively yet grounded room, anchored by a long communal table that invites strangers to share it. Once home to the original roastery, it remains the spiritual hub of the brand.
Victoriapassagen
Sweden
,
Gothenburg
Tucked into the narrow, glass-roofed Victoriapassagen in central Gothenburg, this da Matteo coffee bar occupies the group’s original home and still feels like the heart of the company. The small space hums with a mix of raw edge and quiet finesse, serving traceable, in-house roasted coffee alongside light food and pastries to a steady flow of regulars and passers-by. It’s the kind of place where a single espresso or cinnamon bun easily turns into a lingering pause as the passageway moves gently around you.
