I have only been here for lunch, so I don't know the situation in the evening. Their menu is simple: Breakfast menu with bread and stuff, lunch with simple sandwiches and dinner with the usual cafe fare. Apart from that, there's always coffee, other warm drink and they have their own beer, as well as beer on tap. I always take the Spanish omelet whenever I'm here. It's good and a little bit spicy, just the way I like it. It's accompanied with a piece of bread and their own butter. It's 70kr, and I think the price is fair enough for it. This time I chose a mint tea with lime and I thought it would be some sort of hot water with bagged tea on it, but no, it was a really lovely tea with a large amount of mint and lime to make it sour enough. I had to put sugar in it, but it was a nice warm drink if you want an alternative to coffee. I think this cafe is simple and simply delightful.

I get the mix feeling of French cafe mixed with Brooklyn coffee shop, meets Copenhagen. I also looked at their menu and would definitely come back to have dinner or brunch here, because the selection of food spoke to my taste buds. The service i recieved was very friendly and welcoming, which as a customer I do appreciate and the have some what reasonable prices.

Hello Darkness My Old Friend …read more... * * * Cafe Gavlen is a lovely cafe/bar in Norrebro. It has standard bar offerings, standard coffee options and a handful of substantial snack boards such as cheese plates and charcuterie plates. I saw several of these snack boards. They looked excellent. Most of the bars in the neighborhood have excellent selections of both beer and spirits, and first rate coffee. Cafe Gavlen is no exception. I went with Arnbitter, a superior Danish bitters. Danish bitters are like an improved version of Pernod. Darker, suaver, and richer but keeping the challenging licorice flavor that makes a pastis an interesting beverage. Bad pastis tastes like cough syrup. A fine Danish bitters is a long complex dialogue between you and the glass. * * * Many bars in Norrebro are essentially similar. There are tables out on the sidewalk. There is a darker room inside. The inside room gives you a fine view of the passing street scene. In Copenhagen, this means watching nine hundred thousand young adults bicycle from here to there. * * * What sets bars apart are two things. First, Is there a stupid television on inside? At Cafe Gavlen, the answer is no. * * * Second, how is the ambiance of the room? Is the room suavely decorated to make it interesting? Is it a loser's bar that is black and depressing? Is it a party bar that is as cheap as the swill in the kegs? * * * The inside of Cafe Gavlen could be called "Study in Sepia". There is fine antique brown wallpaper with dark green and burgundy flowers. There are ancient photographs. There is a boar's head mounted on the wall. The boar looks stately and porcine. The color of the room matched the flavor in my glass. Rich, brown and deep. There was mellowness in the walls, in the furniture, in the decoration. The room was a warm, dream-filled sleep. * * * This is what bars are for. There are people who go to bars to be social. Plenty of Danes around me were doing just that. For me, bars are a way to change the operation of my mind. To let the alcohol do its work. To let the brain fuse with what is in the glass and what is in the room. The scrabble of the human horde falls away, The details of the room begin to talk to you. A really good room has a story to tell. * * * In a really good room. your musings distill like brandy in the vat. Your grape juice thinking turns into wine, Your wine thinking turns as clear and forceful as German Mark. This is how you tell the best bars. The best bars are more than just a way to obtain alcohol. They are places in their own right with their own deep spirit. At Cafe Gavlen, not all the spirit is found in the bottles on the shelves.

Order of operations (loosely): grab a menu, sit down, get back up and order at the bar, then pay…read more The draft beers are gorgeous. Ale No. 16 is my new fave. There's an IPA and wheat beer on tap (it's all a bit hazy now, so I can't recall their names!) worth their salt as well. The bottled beer selection is global. Brooklyn Brewery fans should not be disappointed. As for the food, well, we spied the tastiest-looking burger this side of the Mississippi on someone's table and had to order it. The hubs was more than impressed. The toppings consisted of bacon, cheese, thick slabs of red onion, a halved dill pickle slice, slices of juicy tomato, crispy lettuce and lots of mayo. (Ketchup and hot sauces available at the bar.) The fries were thick-cut and quite crispy on the outside. Apparently, this place does a brisk brunch trade. I'd imagine on Sunday when the brew pub down the street is closed that C.G. is bustling with biz. The few times we visited were during the week and once late on a Sunday. The joint was fairly full, but not overly crowded. -just how we like it.

We love Kaffesalonen !!…read more My friends and I come here very often. It is located perfectly. You can see the beautiful lakes and enjoy your good meal too. We normally order juice or coffee here, so that's why we decided to try brunch one day. The wait was only about 5-10 min., and it was delicious. You can sit outside and inside, but we have only sat outside. When it's cold, there are enough blankets for everyone, and the heating lamps have always worked, when we have sat there. I highly recommend this place!

It's a shame that Danish weather doesn't allow keep that part open for longer (except this year that we borrowed Southern weather). I also like that they hold some events with live bands performing outdoors. Usually I would rate a place like that higher, but I was not so impressed by something. Despite the location, there is nothing else special. I'm only giving the fourth star because is where I wad my first date with my girlfriend :)

Today my mum tried ordering a breakfast plate and was yelled at by the man working at the counter when she asked why the egg system was so corrupt. They serve very little food here. There's only really cheese and bread and there is supposedly meant to be eggs. Personally, my brother and I usually go to the nice Lakaghuset next door for our food and we just get a semi-decent drink from Emmerrys. We have had so many bad and disappointing dining experiences at this particular Emmerrys and everytime we say we do not want to come back but my mum likes it here for some reason. Emmerys is in a prime location in the middle of Strandvejen with a lot of property to build the cafe on. They have put this space to waste and could be using it for much more if the staff here focused and put in more work. Emmerys is an okay cafe but there are much better ones on Strandvejen which I would suggest going to.

Now that I'm situated in Denmark, you know what I miss about the US? Not thaaaat many things (read:…read moreplease stop talking to me about Donald Trump and/or the upcoming election), but one thing I do really miss is that laid-back chatting with people you encounter in your every day life. Without the feeling you're uncomfortably stroking someone's holy personal bubble/wasting their time... Call it superficial, but it makes me smile and is just another positive experience in my day. Sometimes that's all it takes if you're having a bad day. I have to say that the service here gave me that feeling. The lady working there--I guess the owner, Rikki, judging by someone's photo--was very sweet and accommodating, was checking up on us to make sure we were OK/liked our food, and just generally made me feel very welcome and happy to be there. For me, this really makes the difference when there are plenty of great cafes to choose from in Copenhagen. (Also, I would definitely want to feel this way about someone who was going to be helping me cleanse my body using juice.) So, not necessarily the place to grab a super fast coffee and zip off, as there was only one person at work, but I really appreciate the local feel, emphasis on fresh food, and very importantly the availability of lactose-free milk options! Shout out here to the alternative milks, homemade on-site. If you're not on friendly terms with lactose, like me, you've got plenty of options here. I tried cashew and sesame milk, both great and very mild tasting alternative milks. They are also unsweetened--love that. Drinks can be sweetened if that's your thing, though. I would love to try their coconut milk at some point. And finally: thanks for having real matcha! Definitely worth a return trip in my book.

I found this place thanks to Yelp…read more I took my small Yelp team (4ppl) to give it to try. I'm writing a review on behalf whole team. Place was surprisingly smaller than I tought. Anyway, nice simple design with some nice small details. We went there about 10. We ordered breakfast. All together we tried to order every single item from the breakfast (brunch) menu. Basically all items were very tasty and original. I loved the Matcha bowl (Matcha is a special green tea powder and here it was mixed with puréed avocado, banana, cashew milk and vanilla). Really unique. I'm always on the hunt for something unique and I found it in here. Added value in my perspective! So I recommend that you should definitely try that. I would like to mention also the healthy apple cake, which is not really apple cake at all, but it tasted excellent and I'm happy they didn't use too much sweetener. For a drink, we all ordered a flat white coffee. It was perfectly done and they add little art on the top. 4 coffees, 4 perfect hearts. It show a confident barista hand. Speaking about service- all servers were all very friendly, efficient and they perfectly knew their product. That's the key of success. My wish for them is to have this business on some very busy street, so they will always have the place full. Thx for reading this and have a nice Yelpy day.
