What this Karlaplan branch is like
This is a Hemköp branch in Östermalm, run together with Sabis, on Karlaplan near Östermalmstorg station. You walk into a large, bright floor rather than a cramped corner shop, and the everyday categories are covered well enough that a full weekly basket is realistic here.
The cheese counter is where to start. It is one of the biggest cheese sections you will find in a Stockholm supermarket, and it is the thing that makes a detour to Karlaplan worth it. The other specific draw is the Mexican range, a proper dedicated line rather than a couple of jars on a shelf, which is why you come here instead of a generic store.
Beyond those two, the shop is broad rather than deep in places. Fresh vegetables, meat, cheese, yogurt and the bakery are all there, and there is a Sabis Petit counter for cooked food. Expect some building work in the aisles while the refurbishment runs.
On cost, this is not the cheap end of Östermalm. Bread and everyday items add up, and prices sit high for what you get. Come for the cheese and the Mexican shelf, and treat the rest as a normal supermarket shop.
If you want a big cheese selection and a wide Mexican range in one stop, this branch delivers that.
What to look for
Cheese counter
One of the biggest cheese sections in a Stockholm supermarket, with a range that goes well beyond the usual pre-cut blocks.
Mexican products
A dedicated Mexican line, stocked as its own range rather than a token shelf, and the second reason to shop here.
Open 7 am to 10 pm every day
The same hours seven days a week, so a Sunday evening or an early weekday morning both work.
The pick list
What to bring home
Cheese counter
The cheese section is the counter people single out here, and one shopper counted it among the biggest they have seen.
Mexican products
A dedicated Mexican range is stocked here, called out as a reason to shop at this store rather than pick from a generic shelf.
Who is this for
This suits a traveler staying in Östermalm who wants one big shop with a cheese counter worth planning around, and anyone cooking who needs a full basket without hunting across several stores. It also works for a late arrival, since the doors stay open until 10 pm on Sundays and every other day.
If you want a cardamom or cinnamon bun rather than a full basket, Valhallabageriet on Östermalmsgatan is a small bakery café a short walk away and serves that need better than a supermarket can. Valhallabageriet - Östermalmsgatan.
The verdict
It is not the cheapest supermarket in Östermalm, with prices that run high, but the cheese counter and the Mexican range are specific enough to justify the stop.
