It's definitely a nice cosy (and quite a big) place to get a coffee in downtown Roskilde. Located…read morejust a stone throw away from the station, this place provides a pit stop for the weary traveller, perhaps. They have good cakes and the coffee prices are reasonable, and the interior is quite quirky as well as homey.

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!
