Copenhagen Tips

Ando

Afternoon - heading to Copenhagen next week for a family holiday. Any coffee shops folk would recommend visiting? Bakery / food recomendations also welcome.

Have been once before and loved it, but was a Stag weekend so no coffee / nice food that trip!

Thanks

With the caveat being that I haven’t been for a few years, I remember the following being good.

EDIT! I just noticed you said family… some of the spots might not be super family friendly (especially at night) so worth Googling first.

Vesterbro (area) - former industrial area now gentrified with plenty of good food/drink. Think London’s Hackney Wick or Newcastle’s Ouseburn.

I loved Warpigs which is a Mikkeller craft beer bar with bbq.

Mother for great pizza.

Kihosk was a cool neighbourhood off-license style shop with loads of seating outside. Ideal place to buy a nice beer and sit outside on a Summer evening.

Bæst - Amazing pizza in a more restaurant style environment than the above. Pretty sure it usually sits high on ‘world’s best’ lists.

Next Door Cafe in the old Latin quarter was a nice little cafe known for amazing homemade blueberry pancakes.

Unhelpfully I haven’t got any good coffee recommendations other than Coffee Collective which I think is a small chain but they knew what they were doing and the coffee was very good.

Honorable mention for Meyers Bageri which I think is also a chain but they had a branch near to the place I was staying in Østerbro and the croissants were so good I think I went every day I was there.

Obviously you’ve got some very high end foodie spots like Noma and Alchemist but it’s not really my scene so I can’t comment.

Unless you’re into touristy spots I’d maybe not spend much time in/arount Tivoli and the Central Station.

I enjoyed the coffee from Coffee Collective. They have a few places so worth a search to see if they have somewhere near where you’re going.

I like visiting fresh food markets, Torvehallernerne was good

Thanks - went to Warpigs more than once on the Stag trip, it was excellent.

Will give the pizza places a look, a family favourite meal.

Let me check my google maps list - was bookmarking as I went.. have been twice in the last couple of years.

Love Copenhagen.. can recommend the hotel in the old carlsberg factory! Otillia I think.

MattH Thanks. Have a list developing based on responses above and some other research.

A lot to be said for just winging it I guess - especially in place like that (away from touristy trap places).

I recommend April and La Cabra - and also the European Coffee Trip app, which locates your position and nearby coffee shops. Enjoy your trip.

Quick reply - Next Door Cafe, Prolog and second vote for La Cabra, enjoy it’s a great place!

Ando

Had a great trip, albeit it would have been a lot better without the kids 😂

Made it to Mother for pizza (excellent), coffee collective (good) and Prolog (excellent) from the recommendations.

Great coffee spots everywhere really, and had brunch a couple of times at place called Wolf and Konstali which we both thought was very good (think it’s a chain).

Such a great city, love how laid back everything / everyone is.

Thanks for the feedback, it’s good to know that you had a great trip and I’ve never tried Prolog, so will add that to my list for December, when we’re next there.
