in short…

• idyllic park café on a gentle hill - perfect for a little country getaway right in the city

• coffee under soft pink parasols or in the cosy conservatory

• we love the warm cinnamon rolls baked in pretty ceramic moulds

A short stroll, an extensive walk with the dog, or a daily jogging route through the city park – all become even more delightful with a cup of coffee, an ice-cold drink, or a tasty snack.

All this comes together at Flindt & Ørsted in Copenhagen’s Ørstedparken.

in short…

• Chiara Barlas Café in a historic pharmacy

• a most beautiful location between Nyboders and Frederiksstaden

• delicious breakfast (the pistachio granola is a hit) and fabulous snacks - homemade from local organic ingredients

Chiara Barla came from Liguria in Italy to Copenhagen to delve into the excitement surrounding the new Scandinavian cuisine spearheaded by René Redzepi and his restaurant Noma.

Now rooted in the Danish capital herself, she runs Apotek 57, a beautiful café that meets all the high standards of Copenhagen's culinary scene.

in short…

• Frederik Bille Brahe's Daytime Cooking

• here we get the perfect Danish breakfast - fresh sourdough bread, cheese, blueberry jam and a soft-boiled egg

• we can't get enough of - Madeleines, warm from the oven

“Daytime cooking” is how Frederik Bille Brahe describes what he does at Atelier September, and it fits perfectly.

Here, we can have breakfast all day, enjoy a light lunch, or have an early evening snack before heading out for dinner.

Atelier September is a bright and beautiful place to meet friends or enjoy the friendly atmosphere alone.

in short…

• bakery and coffee roastery with a bit of Noma

• three times in Copenhagen - three times delightful

• most indulgent treat - chocolate swirl croissants

Here, a bit of Noma’s magic wafts through the air, mingling with the aroma of coffee and buttery, chocolatey pastries.

Milton Abel, a pastry chef from Noma, teamed up with coffee expert Hans Kristian Andersen to open the wonderful bakery and coffee roastery, Andersen & Maillard.

The heavenly selection of glazed croissants filled with pistachio cream or melting dark chocolate, cannelés and fine cakes gives us a glimpse of the years of work in top-tier patisserie that went into creating these delicacies.

in short…

• award-winning coffee from fair and sustainable sourcing

• from Indre By to Nørrebro - wherever we need good coffee

• and always with the friendly Coffee Collective atmosphere

Peter, Claus, and Caspar are the three founders of Coffee Collective. Driven by their passion for exceptionally good coffee, their commitments include sustainability from the coffee farm to the coffee cup and fair trade through close collaboration with farmers.

Despite their achievements, including winning the World Barista Championship and the World Cup Tasting Championships, they remain humble, letting their coffee speak for itself in the best possible way.

in short…

• Swedish bakery in Copenhagen's Østerbro district

• freshly baked all throughout the day

• so good - no queue could be too long for us

I know people who have a coffee table book filled with photos of puppies. On particularly dreary days, they flip through the pictures of fluffy bundles with big eyes and floppy ears to lift their spirits. 

For me, my mood brightens instantly when I look at Juno the Bakery's Instagram. 

I immediately feel the anticipation that comes with patiently waiting in line in Juno's front yard.

The joy I feel while stuffing a much-too-large bag with appetizing pastries is nearly tangible, and just like that, my spirits are lifted. 

in short…

• the bakeries of Richard Hart and René Redzepi

• by hand and with passion, down-to-earth ingredients are turned into the absolute best here

• the bread is good enough even for Noma - we love it as a kimchi toast straight to go

Sometimes, we wonder if there's anyone in Copenhagen's food scene who isn't connected to Noma in some way.

It's clear that the influence Noma has had globally is most prominent here in the Danish capital.

Founded in 2018 by René Redzepi himself, together with Richard Hart, Hart Bageri now boasts more than ten locations in Copenhagen.

And naturally, they bring baked goods to perfection.
