5. Cafe Dyrehaven

Cafe, Pub, Bar, Tea , European, Fast Food, Pastries

From families to students, friends and couples, Cafe Dyrehaven is an attractive destination for everyone. With an interior of wooden walls and red pendant lights hanging above the low tables, it maintains the spirit of an old pub. From 9am to 12pm, visitors can choose from delicious breakfast options. Highly recommended is the morgenmadstallerken:a plate of eggs benedict, avocado on toast, muesli and yoghurt. Dyrehaven is definitely the place to taste smorrebrood, the traditional Danish open sandwich.

6. Granola

Cafe, Bistro, European, Danish, Tea

Granolais an exemplary Scandinavian cafe. Cozy and elegant with very carefully chosen decoration, Granola is the type of typical corner cafe you will find packed with locals grabbing a bite before work, or enjoying some after-work drinks. Judging by its name, the sweet breakfast that includes yogurt, granola, jam, pastry, pancakes, a mix of fruits, chocolate spread and fresh wheat bread comes highly recommended. If you’re not craving something sweet, a Danish-style omelette or different types of sandwiches provide customers with delicious savory options too.

7. Zakabona

Cafe, Thai

Decorated with red and pink velvet sofas, floral wallpapers and red hanging lamps, Zakabona’s color mania style gives this place its unique identity. This cafe is a must-try for brunch. The huge portions with plates that combine both sweet and savory ingredients, the tasty coffee and the friendly staff will certainly make you want to revisit this place.

8. Von Fressen

Bar, Cafe, European, Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-free

Von Fressen is a hip German inspired cafe and bar on the border between Vesterbro and Frederiksberg. Here, locals often stop by for some scrambled eggs and homemade pancakes topped with chocolate spread and hazelnut. Vegetarians also feel welcome here since there is a choice of highly recommended vegetarian and vegan options on the menu too. Before leaving Von Fressen, it is worth trying the hot cocoa deluxe with marshmallows, cream and raspberries.

9. Tante T

Tea Room, Cafe, Tea

Tante T smells and tastes like nostalgia. Old antique furniture and black and white pictures hang on the walls; white table mats and an abundance of candles decorate the wooden tables, which is what most visitors automatically see when entering this small cafe. With more than 150 tea options where 80 of them are organic, it is not an exaggeration to claim that the staff at Tante T are tea experts. A fixed brunch menu is available along with freshly baked chocolate buns, berry streusel and lemon cake, which perfectly complements a morning cup of tea.

10. Enghave Kaffe
