Gro Spiseri København

27/12/2024: We bought for 354 DKK (around €47.50) for 2 people: porridge, a cinnamon bun, a sandwich, a chai latte with oat milk and a flat white with oat milk. Everything was really very good, with well-balanced flavors and fresh products, except the sandwich which lacked a little taste. The setting is warm, perfect for having a good time in complete tranquility. It's a bit expensive, but that's the price in Copenhagen. An excellent choice for a light meal or a coffee break in a cozy place.

27/12/2024: Chef Katie’s legacy clearly lives on through this fine establishment! I know it has not been long since my last visit, but I recently found employment at a furniture brand (cannot name due to legal reasons) and they immediately sent me off to Copenhagen to sample innovations in wood-finished recliner chairs. That is to say that I have found myself back at Darcy’s Kaffe!!!! Let’s get in to it as there’s lots to cover… I walked along the high street towards Darcy’s on a cold, delicate and lovely morning weather-wise. I was highly hopeful that Chef Katie might be back at work running the kitchen, and immediately I recognised (or so I thought) her super cool fringe plating up some whipped butter, which was presented on a cake dish (see picture #2). But I was quite taken a back to learn that it was not chef Katie! Chef Katie talks with an Australian accent. This new chef must have learnt from chef Katie because they displayed a similar above and beyond work ethic, which we will get to soon enough. I attended Darcy’s with my beautiful wife and her younger sister, keen to introduce them to the egg plate. My wife and I ordered the egg plate, naturally, whilst the sister went rogue and ordered a toasted cheese sandwich. Boy did I learn a valuable lesson. Toasting cheese inside bread is an incredible innovation. The cheese used was a strong independent cheese, and it was accompanied by two small gherkins. But the stand out for me was the cranberry sauce. I swear I could have eaten it on its own. Bravo to the new chef in town! As for the egg plates, the egg itself was a work of art, an orange-yellow yolk, oozing with all things glorious and almighty. The mortadella added a natural saltiness that was well matched with the espresso salt. The food was delicious, all washed down by a filtered coffee filled right to the brim of a classic-style porcelain mug. But the real hero of the day, the stand out was this new chef in town that carried themselves like the Chef Katie of old. The food was hand delivered by the chef to our table and I could have been transported back to my first day in this Kaffe! It bought a tear to my eye and I feared that everyone saw me crying. After some time, my beautiful wife and her sister consoled me and walked me out, but I soon realised that these were not tears of shame or sadness, no. These were tears of relief, tears of joy and profound ecstasy. You see, I have found chef Katie after all… she’s all around me at Darcy’s Kaffe. She’s in the above and beyond service, she’s in the whipped butter, she’s in the care to detail. She’s a warm hug, a mother’s embrace. Chef Katie IS darcy’s IS egg plate. When I come back on January 25 2025, I will order an egg plate.
