What this Gamla Stan branch is like inside
This is a 7-Eleven branch on Västerlånggatan, the main walking street through Gamla Stan, and it sits close enough to Gamla stan station that you pass it on the way in from the platform. It is a small shop rather than a full grocery, and what it carries is the standard chain range: drinks, snacks, pastries and hot food behind the counter.
The coffee is the thing to get. A cup costs around 20kr, which is low for the old town, and it comes out of the machine by the counter. Sausages and hotdogs are the other quick bite at about the same price, and the pastries are good value, with cinnamon rolls, carrot cakes and brownies on the shelf. If you want a proper sit-down breakfast, this is not it; if you want coffee and something in your hand in two minutes, it works.
There is seating inside, which is the reason to come in rather than walk on. You can sit down with a coffee and a pastry and eat it there. Ask for a plate or cutlery if you need one.
What you get is convenience, not variety. The shelves are limited. Come for the hours, the location and the low prices on coffee and hot food, and treat everything else as a bonus.

What to bring home
Coffee
Coffee for 20kr in the old town is a cheap pick-up.
Sausages and hotdogs
The sausages and hotdogs, around 20kr, are the quick, satisfying bite to grab here.

Who is this for
This branch suits you if you have just stepped off the train at Gamla stan early in the morning and want coffee and a hot snack before the old town wakes up. It also works for a cheap sit-down break in the middle of a walking day, when 20kr coffee and a pastry are enough. And if you are heading back to your room late on a Friday, the midnight close gives you one more stop than the rest of the week.
If you want a proper kanelbulle and a bakery counter rather than a machine coffee, Grillska Huset Bakery at Stortorget is a hundred metres away and built for exactly that.
The verdict
The coffee is cheap, so this is a shop for the hour and the street rather than a destination; it still suits anyone who needs coffee and a hot bite in Gamla Stan before or after everything else is open.
