Barbara Ekenberg - Wikipedia

Elsa Barbro "Barbara" Ekenberg (1717–25 May 1799), was the owner and manager of a coffeehouse in Stockholm in 1772–99. She was a figure in the work of Carl Michael Bellman, who dedicated to her a verse of Fredmans epistel 9 titled Till Gumman på Thermopolium Boreale och hennes jungfrur ('To the Old woman of the Thermopolium Boreale and her maidens').

Barbara Ekenberg managed a coffeehouse after the death of her spouse, Carl Ekenberg, and made it to a very popular and wellfrequented establishment in Gustavian era Stockholm. Her house was known for the innovation of banned smoking, which was a problem in the rest of the coffeehouses, where the smoke was often so thick as to cause breathing problems.^[1] Bellman describe her as squinting and fat but her "maidens" as beautiful, and her house widely known for its music and merry atmosphere.
