The Coffee Collective

Copenhagen café culture is incredible, and I recently spent 2 weeks visiting at least one bakery or café each day. This guide includes 20+ locations across the city, and it will steer you in the direction of the the very best coffee, cardamom buns, and brunch boards all across the city.

I'm traveling to Copenhagen in May 2023. This is my list of 100+ destinations based on tens of hours of research from well-trusted sources that range from personal contacts to travel experts and publications. The list is categorized by place type, inclusive of restaurants, cafés, shops, museums, and playgrounds. While my research accounts for the fact that I'll have my 2-year-old daughter in tow, I don't exclude things because of that. After my trip in May, I will update this based on my experience and highlights.

In the past decade, the Copenhagen food scene has really exploded. From the high-end food scene, to the cozy cafés selling the local BMO (scroll to find out what it is!) - you definitely won't leave this city hungry. But you'll probably be a little bit broke. In this guide, I've saved all my favorite places (plus in the bottom, I added if they have additional locations/branches) - and I'll also continuously add any new spots that I try.
