What this ICA branch is like

This is a branch of ICA, set on Karlaplan in Östermalm and reached through the Fältöversten shopping centre. Boats moored in Wasa hamn are close enough that a run here fits between other errands, and the centre itself is bright and fresh as you walk toward the shop.

The baguette is the buy. It comes out good and warm, and a French visitor would recognise the crust for what it is. Beyond that the shelves hold a broad everyday range, so you can put together a full basket rather than hunting for one thing.

Staff are polite and know the stock; if you order a buffet, they will call you back afterwards to ask how it went. The aisles are narrow, though, and moving through a busy stretch with a basket takes some patience.

Prices sit at a decent level for the neighbourhood, and there are offers on the shelves.

This is a practical shop rather than a destination in itself: it suits a straightforward fill of the fridge, a warm baguette on the way back to the boat, or a late evening when everything else has shut.

What to look for

The baguette

Buy it warm if you can; the crust and crumb are what bring you back.

Open until 10 pm daily

Every day of the week closes at 10 pm, with a 7 am start Monday to Friday and 8 am at weekends.

Broad everyday range

The shelves are well stocked, so a full week's basics can be gathered in one pass.

The pick list

What to bring home

  1. Baguette

    The baguette is a strong buy here, and it is especially good while still warm.

Who is this for

Good for someone staying on a boat at Wasa hamn who needs a proper shop without leaving the Östermalm area. It also suits a traveller who wants a warm baguette and a few basics late in the evening, since the doors stay open until 10 pm every night. Anyone stocking a rental kitchen for several days will find the everyday range wide enough to cover it in one trip.

The verdict

It is a solid neighbourhood branch with a warm baguette and long hours rather than a market worth a detour, and the narrow aisles mean a slow pass at busy times, but it covers a full basket for anyone staying in Östermalm.
