This is a really nice cafe. Although it's actually quite big we went at 6 and the place was packed (mainly with students from the look of it), we had to sit ourselves at someone else's table, but that didn't bother us or him in the slightest. There was a great atmosphere and even though you order at the counter... More

Very comfortable place for breakfast and lunch with a wide variety of menu choices. You stand in line to order from the counter and then they bring the food to your table. Lots of menu choices and everything was good. Definitely worth going to if you are looking for something casual and good.

Good food, and a great buzz about this bookshop-cafe. It's the kind of place where you could while away a few hours while reading, working on your tablet/laptop/mobile, eating tasty food and drinking coffee and indulging in people-watching (if that's your sport :-)) as folk stroll by. I'd be back in a flash.

In a city where most of the cafes have above average food, this place sticks out to me for just average food. I ordered one of the salads there and it wasn't that good, nothing remotely comparable to the other 30+ cafes we've been to here. But, the food is quite inexpensive for its location, so if you're on a... More

Went for brunch our first morning (Saturday) and totally loved it. They open at 10 and we got there just after, and there were only a handful of people in there. By the time we left at about 11:30 after a very relaxing brunch it was filling up, and when we returned Sunday afternoon for a rest stop it was... More

Went here for lunch and the place was very full but we got a table pretty fast. You get a menu and when you're ready you go to the bar and order. We ordered chicken wokand tagliatelle. Both were good. Nice cafe with cozy surrondings and atmosphere. Free wifi. Big

This is a totally charming book cafe with shelves crammed with books and board games etc( and an old books' sales section during daytime hours).The cafe consists of several smaller rooms, some a few steps up from the entrance, some a few down. When we visited, the first room was filled with students(?) working on their laptops and iPads, one... More

As a booklover, what better place than this is there to take a break and go in for a look and a nice smoothie ?

Great atmosphere in this cafe. You seemed to be able to sit as long as you like, no one trying to rush you out like some places in Copenhagen. The coffee was good. Lots of students around with there laptops looking very happy. I did feel like I was the eldest person in there but that was ok.

Good reasonably priced coffee, excellent, however crowded atmosphere, sweets: so-so. Went there with a friend during one of those cold February afternoons. Lots of people in all ages. The location must attract different kinds of people which is a nice break from Nørrebro's hipster-filled cafes. The coffee was lovely, and the price was reasonable. Had a chocolate cookie, to my...
