    Great little coffee shop. Nice place to setup on your laptop or play cards with friends. Fairly small with 4 tables but we had no problem finding space.

    Dropped off my bags at Central Station and was looking for a nice little place to have a traditional Danish breakfast. Oh, thanks Yelp for this recommendation - i found Risteriet and couldn't have been better. I arrived really early, and the place only had a table with a couple of teenagers. I ordered a combo that came with three slices of bread, cheese, marmalade, some granola and you could choose a hot drink. I tried to order the whole thing in a broken Danish, and obviously didn't work but the lady was really nice and without laughing understood my ordered and helped me out. Coffee was good, the ambience is quite comfy and they have free WiFi. Would totally recommend you comer here for a cup of nice coffee or to hang out reading a book.

    This café and roastery offer the best espresso in CPN that I have found. RH also bake their own bread (flour provided by the illustrious and industrious danish chef, Claus Meyer) and serve it with meat and cheese in the mornings, or warm it up and serve it panini-style for lunch. The location is both a draw and detraction. Like Janice C., the hubs and I only had to travel a block from our hotel for a cuppa and some grub. This place is a boon for those staying and living in the area. There are a few shelters in the vicinity that help those in need, and, while that is a GREAT thing, it also meant that we were privy to a few scenes of very upsetting street behavior. A few of the kids there were really super friendly and handled our out-of-towner questions with aplomb. In addition to selling beans, R.H. sell a decent selection of coffee accoutrement for those that like to brew at home. Free WiFi

    This quaint little coffee shop was next to my hotel. I ordered the latte which was super aromatic. The crema was basically oozing out the perfectly frothed milk. The pricing of the latte is quite expensive (around $5-6 USD) but for quality taste and craftsmanship, it is worth the money.

    Loved the vibe. Great for coffee and a light breakfast! Came here since it was a block away from our hotel and had the breakfast platter. It was very filling. The latte was served in a little expresso glass which I thought was interesting. Bread and cheese were fresh and I liked the little yogurt with nuts and the jam. Would definitely be back!

    An average cute cafe near the meat packing district. There is free wifi so you can find some loners at the window tables on their computers. On the bad side, the cafe does not have so many tables so be prepared for waiting for one or for squeezing in with others. The interior is quite rustic, which I liked. The walls are from bricks and there are small black lamps on top of every table. The coffee and warm chocolate that we had were good but again, I am not a coffee expert. I liked the music which was chilling and relaxing in the background. There was a good atmosphere in this cafe although it is halfway under the street level. The service was very friendly and fast and it seemed like a popular cafe on a Sunday afternoon. If you re in the area it's a good cafe to spend few hours at, but I don't think I would travel from another part of the city just to go there.

    Excellent local coffee/breakfast bar for a simple but delicious starter of the day! Thumbs up for the hospitable and kind service Recommendation: the breakfast menu is one small but full plate with everything you need to start the day and a freshly grinded cappuccino or latte to accompany your kickstarter meal.

    Ligth breakfast, yogurt and coffee.

    So nice place. Really close to the rail station. Make a great coff and delicious breakfast. We tried there yogurt with fruits. Light breakfast but give us a lot of energy.

    First impression; please to grab a coffee on the run. Few tables if food is your purpose. Food, not many choices. Okey morning plate.. (breakfast). Good coffee! Helpful and friendly service :)

    Within walking distance from our Airbnb, this place was a great find for breakfast. Friendly service and good coffee.

    Awesome small, neighborhood coffee shop and breakfast/lunch cafe. The morning plate breakfast was the perfect way to start our day. We came here a couple of times while in Copenhagen. Friendly, fast service. Fresh foods. Reasonable prices. Definitely recommended!

We arrived at 1 PM on Friday and they were already sold out of the roasted pork.

The sandwiches had good flavor and we ended up splitting each one -- which gave us some variety for our lunch. There isn't a lot of seating available here, so if your hotel is within walking distance here, I'd recommend taking it to go and then eating in the hotel lobby/courtyard. That's what my wife and I ended up doing.

This particular location is in Tivoli Food Hall, and it is currently the only restaurant there that serves Danish foods. The menu included both classic and innovative flavors: potato, pork, fried fish, chicken salad, roast beef, herring, shrimp, smoked salmon, meatball, etcetera. I ordered one chicken-salad sandwich and one salmon-salad sandwich. The sandwiches had pretty appearances, fresh ingredients, and tasty flavors.

This was around 4:13 pm on a Saturday. We order three smorrebrod and we ate them in the Tivoli food hall. All were served on plates. The correct way to eat was with a fork and knife as we learned while watching an episode of Somebody Feed Phil. The chicken salad was undoubtedly our favorite. Lots of shredded chicken but overall smooth and tasty. We crumbled the bacon to add some texture and that was even better. The marinated salmon was ok but we liked the nice pop of flavor from the pomegranate seeds. I may try to add them at home to my smoked salmon. The egg and shrimp smorrebrod was tastier. We returned our empty plates back to the counter when we were finished. Not completely in love with open face sandwiches but may try again on a future return trip to Copenhagen.

They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and regardless of where you sat, there was a nice mix of locals and tourists, which always feels like a good sign. We chose to sit inside. We did a walk in and were lucky to get a table. From other reviews I had read beforehand, reservations are recommended, especially during busy dinner hours. We ordered Regitze Barner's Favorites, which included Patty shells, Wiener schnitzel, and old fashioned apple stew. We also started with Miss Barner's herring specialty and the Skagen toast, then finished with the kransekage. The staff made the experience even better. When they served the herring, they asked if we knew the proper way to prepare and eat it. Since we did not, they happily walked us through it. They gave the same thoughtful attention to the table next to us, showing them how to debone their fish. It never felt pretentious, just genuinely welcoming and eager to help us non locals experience these Danish dining traditions. The food was fantastic. The Patty shells, filled with chicken and white asparagus, were rich and comforting. The Wiener schnitzel was perfectly crisp with a tender interior and served with amazing potatoes, peas, and a delicious brown sauce. The old fashioned apple stew was light, subtly sweet, and layered with a crisp base, apple compote, lightly whipped unsweetened cream, and a dollop of jam on top. The herring specialty was a great introduction to Danish herring, with well balanced flavors that were approachable even for first timers, while the Skagen toast was fresh, creamy, and packed with sweet shrimp and fragrant dill. The favorite of the meal, though, was the dessert--kransekage!. The marzipan had just the right amount of sweetness, and I ended up enjoying it even more than the apple stew. As a tourist, I cannot say whether every dish was prepared exactly as tradition dictates, but everything we had was delicious, and the warm, attentive service made for a wonderful final dinner in Copenhagen. If you are looking for classic Danish cuisine in a cozy setting, I would happily recommend Frk. Barners Kælder.

I had been aight seeing all day and was getting hungry. My friend and I planned on going to the park to read so we picked up bengals on the way. This was one of our cheapest meals in the city so it was already off to a great start. I got a spicy chicken with a cheesy bagel. And we took our bagels To go to the park. I thought it was great and ate every bite. I would recommend for a cheap and filling option, especially on the go. I don't remember there being much seating at all so not good for sitting down and just talking.

    Tl;Dr: Probably the best bagel sandwich I've had in my life. (I've had them in NY, Cali and all…read moreover US) Steaming hot bagels fresh out of the oven. Highly recommend #10 Spicy chicken. Freshly squeezed OJ. Bagelwiches = bagel + cream cheese + cheese slice + protein + veggies = Yummy goodness! ***The long read*** How I got here: I had an early morning flight from Prague to Copenhagen. Lack of sleep and the early morning flight had left me tired and hungry. My friend who'd been to Copenhagen before mentioned this as a must visit place so I thought of grabbing a quick breakfast here on my first day in Copenhagen. I took the M2 train from the airport and got out at Kongens Nytrov. A quick 4 mins walk later I was here at the Bagel co. Ambience: Although it's a tiny place the aroma of freshly baked bagel won't let you miss this place as you walk past it. It has a bench on the inside and 2 tables with 2 chairs each on the outside. Menu is on the inside and outside as well. You can see a display of fresh veggies and meat behind the glass. The experience: You can pick from a preset menu that's on the wall both inside and outside. They're all bagel sandwiches (bagelwiches?) served hot or cold depending on the protein inside. Small fire icon besides the hot one would cue you as to which of them are hot sandwiches. You can either choose the preset ones or order your own sandwich. They have popular options like omelet, Lox, pulled pork and even veggie options like the veggie, falafel etc. You get to choose from a variety of bagels like cheddar, plain, tomato, sesame and different cream cheese. Feel free to swap out any of it. You can even get different cream cheese on each slice. Veggies are super fresh. If you don't believe, just hear the lettuce crunch as they shape it into your bagel. I found myself coming back to this place again and I ended up trying the omelet, spicy chicken sandwich and Lox (smoked salmon) Out of the 3, my favorite was Spicy chicken. The chicken was tender and with just the right level of spice. Omelet with bacon in it is also the quintessential breakfast of the Americas! They serve coffee and freshly squeezed OJ! I got introduced to bagels in NY 10 yrs ago, so the idea of bagel has always been bagel + cream cheese and that's it. Although I've seen bagelwiches before, this place is what got me hooked on to the idea of it. I am almost afraid to try out bagel sandwiches in the US because the Bagel co has set the bar really high. If the US ones don't meet the bar I may just have to book a flight to Copenhagen to get my fix!
