Kaf

copenhagen takes its coffee seriously, and that's not a generalization so much as a fact you notice quickly when you start paying attention to how the city drinks. kaf on birkegade 21 in nørrebro sits in a neighborhood that already has opinions about what a good café should be, and it holds its own. the sourdough here is the kind of thing that pulls people back on a saturday when they could go anywhere. pastries too, done with the same seriousness as the coffee rather than treated as an afterthought on a back counter. if you're coming from the nørrebro end of things, you already know the area doesn't suffer mediocrity particularly well. the regulars are loyal in a way that means something. end the morning with a pastry and whatever's pulling through the espresso bar that day.
