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!

Great music venue in Roskilde. I must add that it is popular…read morewith the *much* younger crowd, so I would check what is on. ;) On site cafe serves food throughout the day and great quality for the price.

I absolutely loved this place!…read more I was in Roskilde today and needed a snack after visiting the Viking Museum and Roskilde Cathedral. The weather outside was so dreadful and when I saw this place, I immediately ran in to escape the weather. The inside is so cozy and not very big either. There are 5 tables here and can fit maybe 10-15 people max. When J showed up, and older gentleman was finished, so he let me have his table. Lady batista was so kind to me and I ordered a flat white and a slice of apple pie with whipped cream on the side. She brought me my flat white and the pie to my table. Another family sat down next to me at the next table and everyone was very sweet and smiled at me. I couldn't understand anyone here as they were all speaking Danish. Let me tell you about the apple pie, that was just delicious! Not that sweet but very flavorful and the whipped cream was amazing, not sweet at all, wow! Coffee was fresh and good. When I was almost done, another older couple walked in and I wanted to finish up so they could have somewhere to sit. The barista actually made it a point to say to me, "no rush," as in she wanted me to stay. I was finished anyway and needed to get on the road to drive to my next destination, so I gave up my table and when I walked out, the older gentleman thanked me for the table and wished me a happy new year. Now, I think I know what the word "hygge" means and today I felt it on this cold, wet, windy day in Roskilde. Thank you Kaffeekspressen for warming my heart and soul. It will be a memory I cherish for a long time to come. Thank you for making me feel welcomed in your country.
