Kafferiet

The coffee is so-​so. The pastries are ok. The complaint I have with this place is that it sports a racist blackface statue from the US that they claim is a way for them to provide Danish coziness. Perhaps it is Danish People Party style coziness for racists but the owner refused to make any changes even after being educated about the racist imagery behind blackface statues.

This itty bitty café is the perfect pit stop before or after visiting the little mermaid. Away from the main street and tourists, the café is decked out with girly, vintage decorations and pastel colours that are super sweet and nostalgic of the simpler times.
They specialise in slow coffee and take their time to create something that will surely hit the spot. They have an array of cakes and slices on display and grilled sandwiches.
The staff are friendly and speak English and are happy to give you directions. The café oozes a cosy atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating, however limited.
Eat in or take away and wonder the park, this place was a lovely surprise.

This little coffee place will always be in my heart as it was the first place I had coffee at after moving to Cph for some months. It was a pleasant sunny day and we got some chai latte to drink in the park in front of it (beautiful park, btw). The chai was delicious, the place looked super cozy (even though it had only a couple of seats inside) and the staff were nice and really took their time preparing your orders. I came back a few months ago and everything was still as I remembered. Recommend it for take away chai or coffee and a stroll or relax in the park, if you’re visiting town, it’s a good stop on your way to/​from Amalienborg, Kastellet and the Little Mermaid.

Klein trifft es nicht, dieser Laden ist beinahe schon winzig zu nennen. Die Sitzplätze im Inneren sind an einer Hand abzuzählen, bei gutem Wetter gibt es noch ein paar zusätzliche draußen. Lange bleiben will ich auch gar nicht, obwohl es mir hier gefällt. Gleich gegenüber geht es nämlich zum Kastellet und die Sonne scheint, die Luft ist klar. Doch zurück zum Café: Ein bisschen stelle ich mir die Küche von Pippi Langstrumpf so vor. Überall gibt es Details zu entdecken, Kleinigkeiten, die zum Kauf angeboten werden und beinahe alles ist gleichermaßen Retro wie Hip. Doch dafür bin ich nicht eingetreten. Ich fühle mich trotzdem wie im Wunderland und nehme einen Cappuccino-​to-​go mit einem «single espresso». Meiner Erfahrung nach wird sonst (oftmals) einer auf der Basis eines «double espresso» gemacht. Dafür bin ich zu schwach. Das ist kein Problem für die freundliche Barista. Der Preis für mich auch nicht, der mit 35 DKK (ca. 5 Euro) für Kopenhagen üblich ist. Nur zur morgendlichen Rush Hour ist die Warteschlange lang. Das kann nerven.

It’s almost like I was taken back to a magical world of Wonderland once you step into this shop. Pastel colors, cute and adorable packaged drinks and playful wall graphics, it comes off as a quirky and fun little café. If the place was bigger, it’d be a perfect spot for some british tea time. Suitable for people of all ages, kids and the elderly. There is limited seating though but it’s a great spot to rest after strolling around kastellet or seeing den lille havfrue. I had the vanilla chai latte which was quite good.

«Secret Place» like they proclaim to be, this little coffee shop is not to central (inner city central that is) in Copenhagen but it’s worth going out of the way to experience. Their «motto» is slow coffee, meaning they want to take the time it takes to make an excellent cup of joe. I would recommend you take a stroll out here, get a coffee and a pastry and walk around the park across the street.
