Why Copenhagen?
Copenhagen, the city of Everlasting Hygge
Legend has it that Copenhagen earned its nickname from the warm embrace of its atmosphere, akin to a perpetual hug from a dear friend. Just like a comforting embrace, Copenhagen's story began with its cozy nooks and crannies, where locals sought refuge from the chill winds that sweep through the city. It wasn't until the 21st century, with a nod to its Scandinavian roots and a sprinkle of fairy dust, that Copenhagen affectionately became known as 'hyggens hjem' - the home of hygge. Today, Copenhagen wears its hygge like a badge of honor.
Amidst the blend of historic landmarks, charming cafes serving up steaming cups of hot cocoa and delectable Danish pastries, and bustling markets brimming with artisanal crafts, you can still feel the gentle embrace of hygge in every corner. With every turn down cobblestone streets, you'll discover pockets of warmth – from the flickering glow of candlelit windows to the laughter of friends gathered around crackling fires – all enveloping you in Copenhagen's timeless and inviting embrace.
CAFÉS
My favorite cafés in Copenhagen
Grød
Grød, quite literally meaning porridge, embodies the Danish
love affair with oats. Their menu offers a delightful array of
porridge toppings, showcasing an impressive variety that could
satisfy even the most discerning palate. Take, for instance,
their 'All In' bowl, a veritable cornucopia of flavors
featuring apple compote, caramel sauce, peanut butter,
Icelandic yoghurt, almonds, fresh fruit, and the list goes on.
It's a tantalizing experience that leaves one longing for
more.
What I like about it
As someone who has traversed the globe in search of nourishing culinary delights, Grød's innovative approach to porridge is a delightful discovery. Each spoonful is a testament to their commitment to wholesome and flavorful ingredients, making it a destination worth seeking out, no matter where in the world you may find yourself.
Kaf
Kaf, nestled on a serene street in the vibrant heart of
Nørrebro, offers a tranquil escape from the bustling city.
Whether you choose to bask under the shade of oak trees or
cozy up indoors, the ambiance sets the stage for an indulgent
experience. Meticulously crafted pastries await, each a
testament to the artistry and dedication of the bakers,
complemented by a carefully curated drink selection.
What I like about it
As someone who values both flavor and sustainability in my culinary adventures, Kaf's commitment to using seasonal ingredients shines through in every bite.
