Nyhavn 40 - Danish ice cream at the colorful harbor

Two ice cream cones with vanilla and strawberry scoops are held up in front of the colorful gabled houses along Nyhavn canal in Copenhagen.

in short…

  • eat Kastberg's delicious ice cream scoops right by the quay wall and let your legs and your soul dangle

  • our favourite - smooth soft ice cream made from real bourbon vanilla in a butter waffle cone

  • it gets no more Danish than this - sea buckthorn sorbet or liquorice ice cream

Even in Copenhagen, summer days can be sunny and hot.

While the abundant waterways invite refreshing dips, cooling down from the inside with delicious ice cream is always a good idea.

Sea buckthorn or elderflower sorbet, licorice ice cream or salted caramel, honey nougat or chocolate ice cream – all these flavors more than fulfill their cooling purpose at Nyhavn 40.

Personally, I have a secret weakness for soft serve ice cream.

A hand holds a vanilla soft ice cream cone in front of Copenhagen’s Nyhavn with red and yellow gabled houses and boats on the water.

If you're turning up your nose, you might have had too many overly sweet, mushy or icy versions.

Finding the soft serve at Nyhavn 40 makes the search worthwhile, despite previous disappointments.

Made from delicious Bourbon vanilla ice cream by Danish ice cream maker Kastbergs, it’s creamy and delectable in a crispy butter waffle.

A wall display at Nyhavn 40 presents around 30 ice cream flavours on clipboards, including sorbets, chocolate, liquorice, and fruity combinations.

The other ice cream flavors, served as traditional scoops in a waffle cone, are equally impressive!

Rum raisin ice cream and rhubarb sorbet have become our favorite flavors.

You can clearly taste that Joachim Kastberg puts passion into his product, using high-quality local ingredients.

Two ice cream cones with fruit flavours are placed in a holder at the Kastbergs Gourmet-Is counter at Nyhavn 40, with the logo on the white wall behind.

What could be better than dangling your legs over the harbor edge, savoring ice cream and enjoying the bustling scene of Copenhagen’s famous cityscape?

The colourful houses and swaying boats make for such a lovely view.

But don’t get too distracted - keep an eye out for the discreet entrance to Nyhavn 40, just a few steps below street level!

Three colourful folding chairs and a matching table stand on the cobblestones in front of the Kastbergs ice cream shop entrance at Nyhavn 40.

Who we are  and why we know a thing or two about lifestyle tips?

For over fifteen years, we ran Schneewittchen, our self-founded café and concept store in the heart of Munich’s Glockenbach district. 

A decade and a half of hands-on experience  in hospitality, design, curation and community  is the foundation we build on today, and the reason we’re excited to share what we’ve learned.

Schneewittchen was never just a café or lifestyle shop. 

It was a second living room  - a place where friends and family came together. 

Some regulars became close friends. Others found the warm, familiar atmosphere so comforting that Schneewittchen became a part of their daily rhythm. 

For some, it was a creative workplace  - a spot to feel inspired, free, and always well-fed.

People were curious about our shop products, our café menu, our playlists  - and often, about us. 

They asked about our travels, our favourite places to eat or shop, the clothes we wore. Questions poured in about design, interiors, kitchen tools, self-employment and more.

Bumblebee Magazine was born out of those conversations. 

It’s a lifestyle platform for like-minded people to discover answers, find inspiration and stumble across the next thing they might like as much as we do.
