Cascabel København

Too bad there was scaffolding outside when I came. The place was cozy and so many cakes and pastries to choose from.

This place has really good pastries! We tried the American-style brownie, the chocolate cheesecake, and the strawberry crumble, and everything was delicious! The coffee was bad, but in my experience is difficult to find a place with both, good coffee and good bakery. If you read the other reviews, you’ll notice that many of the lower ratings mention the service from a particular bald gentleman. It was actually a bit funny to see that he is indeed quite blunt in his manner. However, the rest of the staff were lovely and really did their best to make us feel welcome. I think his approach is simply a little different from what most people expect when it comes to customer service. Overall, we had a very good experience! The desserts were delicious, and we really enjoyed our visit.

If you read the reviews you will see that every other one makes mention of a rude encounter with the assumed French owner. Personally, I escaped his wrath but saw his behavior towards others that many described as confrontational and unwelcoming. A previous reviewer mentioned how he starts shouting “HELLO” when people enter the place. That didn’t bother me and I would have shouted HELLO back. Most people are tourists and they are taken aback with this somewhat aggressive behavior. I saw many potential customers come and go because of that. Not a great way to run a successful business. I am guessing if you answered “HELLO” back he would have been fine. The hot chocolate and cinnamon bun were good. My phone battery was dying so I asked the lady at the counter if I can charge my phone and she let me use hers behind the counter, which was very nice. So personally I had a good experience. At the same time I do not recommend the place for large parties. Maybe you get lucky and catch the owner in good mood (50-50) and be ready to shout HELLO as soon as you enter :)

Small, cramped, and not at all modern... but the cakes are fantastic, the coffee delicious, and the atmosphere absolutely cozy.

The desserts were truly unique and delicious.

Really good confectionery, high quality on what we tried out. Recommended for both eating in and buying for taking home. On a street that is a bit busy with traffic, so inside seating. The inside was nice and cool so perfect for a hot summer day.
