Really cosy place! Their banana bread is amazing, with a mascarpone cream on the top, really a chef’s kiss! It’s located super central, close to magasin and the train station.

Cutest little cafe and restaurant centrally located right on the pedestrian street! We stopped by for a little late breakfast, lattes, breakfast bread with cheese, yogurt and granola parfait , perfect soft boiled egg, and fresh fruit! We found a table outside and enjoyed our “hyggelig” breakfast!

Super cozy place. I was very well received as soon as I entered the establishment. The waitress was incredibly kind, so cute! In this cold weather, I ordered a latte and chia and smoothie bowl w. berries, delicious I don't remember the exact price having difficulty converting from euro to dkk, but it was very democratic. I highly recommended If you want to warm your heart in this cold weather

Little, cute cafe with a cozy atmosphere I had a smoothie bowl for breakfast. The bowl was pretty big and fulfilling. There were variety of drinks Service was satisfying *there are not many tables so may not suitable for big group of people (like more than 4 people)
