30/06/2026: My partner and I are greeted by polite staff and can choose a table outside. I choose a bun with butter and West Sea cheese, and of course expect a large portion of a bun with butter and cheese for 65 kr. (most other cafes charge between 35-40 kr for a BMO). Unfortunately, I am disappointed as one bun is divided into seven pieces, which are only three slices of cheese, and one tiny little packet of butter. Furthermore, it is a rather dry and chewy pleasure to eat the bun. I would probably have just chosen to divide the bun in two, so it required 2 pieces of toppings, rather than 7.
My partner gets a slice of bread with tomato, three pieces of salmon and half an avocado on top. It tasted fine, but was incredibly difficult to eat, as it all falls apart, with such a presentation.
Furthermore, he orders an espresso macchiato. There is a slight misunderstanding with the order, and he receives a latte macchiatto instead. He goes in and asks if it can be true, and is greeted by a rude waiter who immediately brushes him off. So he doesn't end up getting what he ordered, and we end up with a rather bad overall impression of the place.
We did get a carrot cake, which was good, and all the other cakes looked good too.
Based on our experience, Penny Lane Café can be recommended for coffee and cake, but nothing more than that.

What a beautiful "place" in Aalborg. I don't even want to call it a café, because it's not really one. You can find something wonderful in every corner. The treats on offer look amazing. The prices are all reasonable. If you're ever in Aalborg, come here and take your time.
Addendum:
I haven't said anything about the fantastic staff. After visiting them twice over three days, a blonde lady really came across: always friendly, always smiling. She's the best service staff; you'd want to go to her restaurant or café. Plus, she's beautiful :-)
I hope the Google Translate text is understandable :-)
