Lovely, hidden gem inside the wonderful garden of the Institute of Life Sciences. You can sit outside under parasols or inside the roomy greenhouse. Prices are very fair and if you’re lucky, you may even get one of the sofas. Perfect place to chill in the summer. If you’re a tourist, skip the Botanical Garden and come here by city bus. You won’t regret it!

Perfect summery day cafe, would have preferred more gluten free options but the staff were by far the friendliest I have found in Copenhagen. Would recommend it for a lovely sunny day.

One amazing cup of coffee! They got rid of all plastic and it is a great place to start your day and then take a walk through the gorgeous park right next to it. Coffee and Muffin 63dkk - 9 USD / 8 euros approx.

Interesting menu, we could have chosen everything, decided for the pasta and tapas plate. Delicious homemade bread & butter. Friendly service. Lots of people on a sunny Wednesday around 1pm. We'll come again!

This is a nice and peaceful place to enjoy a cup of coffee and the flowers of the season. Pay attention to opening hours if you are planning on meeting with friends.

The cafe is located in nice quiet area. The food and drinks were amazing, I went for Citron Timian sandwich, rhubarb cake, raspberry cheesecake and chai latte. The only minus are benches, the are very hard and uncomfortable to seat long.

Super delicious mango cheesecake. Nice friendly service. I normally come here a few hours before closing and just admire the flowers with a nice coffee and sometimes cake ????????
