Guf & Kugler Aalborg

13/05/2025: Two gifts and a good coffee Some mornings you wake up in a hotel and think: “No thanks to the buffet – I want a café!” It was one such morning in Aalborg. Fortunately, I had heard a bird had sung about Café Penny – that it was perhaps the very best café in Aalborg. And that is saying a lot. Because in this city, where competition between cafés, pubs and restaurants is fierce, it takes something special to stand out. You have to know your craft. Have your own bakery. Serve your own cakes. And you have to put emphasis on service, atmosphere and genuine presence. I found all that – and more – at Penny. At Penny, they bake their own cakes, have genuine smiles, and the coffee tastes as if someone has taken good care of the beans. The brunch plate was a gift in itself – but then the unexpected happened: The door opened, and in came Kirsten, my colleague for 40 years in the air. Wing to wing, now side by side at the café table. Two gifts in one Monday. I'm not complaining.
