For Coffee and Breakfast

Kaffebar 

“Very laid back café with a cozy downstairs seating place and outdoor seating. ” – Maria B.

Café Dyrehaven

“Love this place. The brunch was amazing. We had eggs benedict, yogurt, avocadomad (mashed avo with lime, almonds) and lattes. Every bite was delicious and fresh.” – Brooke P

Bror

I absolutely loved both the process and mystery of the meal. I was very skeptical about New Nordic before finally breaking down and trying it. After sampling several New Nordic venues, I’m totally sold. – Alex B

Paludan Bogcafé
