My boyfriend and I came wandering into this place when we "accidentally" ended up in Roskilde after…read morevisiting Tune Dyrepension (long story). The Swede was longing for a cup of coffee since he never got a proper fika in Copenhagen and I was hungry after the "road trip". This cafe has a nice review on yelp, albeit only one and it's located on the side street of the main shopping street, so there's a chance that it's not a tourist trap. Service: Super friendly - I guess that's how people are outside of Copenhagen *ahem* Unlike many cafes in Copenhagen where you're supposed to get your own food, we only need to secure our own table first. Food and drink were delivered to our table with a smile. Location: A quiet side street with a nice backyard when the sun is out. It's a cozy little cafe that is absolutely great for fika stop. Food: We were looking for more solid lunch and they only had sandwiches and salads so we ended up ordering something called "flad mad". I initially thought that it would be some sort of panini, but nope, it's just a piece of bread with selection of topping. I ended up getting tuna mousse that was good but that's just about it and the bread is only one piece. Granted that it cost only 35kr I guess it's fair enough, but the mousse was plenty and I wish they could've given us one more bread (surely rye bread is not costly?). I didn't taste the coffee but the boyfriend said it was good enough - so there you go, good enough it is. Three stars. The cakes looked amazing tho' - not those fancy schmancy cakes but just ordinary homemade cakes, but they looked and smelled amazing. Maybe someday I'd be destined to taste the cake.

This was a great place to stop in for a relaxed lunch. The Cafe gets a surprising amount of light…read morewith all the windows, but that also means the inside is a bit chilly. The staff is friendly and there is open seating (as well as TWO stalls in the clean bathroom). We both had sandwiches which were open faced, but came with extra bread (soft and hearty) and a side salad with cucumbers, pumpkin seeds, radishes, cabbage, etc. I had the mozzarella and Serrano ham with sundried tomatoes and olive tapenade. The tapenade was extremely generous (I couldn't finish it) and the flavors were very harmonious. However, I wish the tomatoes were a little more sundried - they were kind of mushy and too juicy. I would definitely recommend stopping in here. If you don't do lunch definitely get some of the delicious classic cakes (apple, etc.) on display. Yum!

Solid coffee here. Happy because it was my coffee upon…read morearrival from Germany. I enjoyed the flat white. Alternative milk is Oat milk, although I prefer almond milk. Quiet inside. Outside seating is available if you want the noise of the cars. No gluten free pastries unfortunately.

Risteriet isn't the coziest coffee bar I've been to in Copenhagen, but the coffee I got there…read moredefinitely is in my top 3. And it doesn't even only taste good, it smells extremely good, as well. The brownies I had was perfectly fine, too. It could be a great place for take away (as there's not many places to sit anyway), but I enjoyed sitting here for a little bit as well, watching the pretty Christmas decoration that still was up and the really awesome illustrated posters. I'm not sure if Risteriet is such an old place that they actually have been used many years before or that they just are recently made but look retro, but either how: so pretty.
