29/08/2026: One of the cafes I visited while strolling around the city center of Copenhagen.
It is strategically located in Illum, the famous department store in Copenhagen. I did enjoy the hot chocolate and the bread and pastries they have. I have my croissant and the bread with cheese and salmon on it. Some of the pastries are so delicious, I also have them for take aways.
In general, the cafe is accessible ♿️✅ as the entrance and the rest of the department store are accessible as well. It's just that the place is too crowded and I guess it's due to its strategic location.
