O e of the best cinnamon rolls and Lime tart, thanks to the friend who recommended and accompanied to this place
Delicious pastries and would recommend this chocolate one! Really affordable for a danish bakery
What a gem, i was so hungry and this comes up as recommendation for the best breakfast in the city. Indeed it was, make sure you have 15 minutes or 20minutes before you can have your food. Its really busy and you have to wait. However, the food excellent. The staff were friendly and accomodating. They served fresh juice, literally you can see and hear it whilst they prepare if for you. I will recommend the combo plate.
Small menu. Combo plate is the famous dish so would recommend for decent breakfast. Seats outside which were great - was very busy. Good coffee. Service a little slow.
We loved it so much… had to come back for breakfast on our last day!

The owners & staff were so super friendly, great music and most colorful and unique space in town! 🌈

We loved the Pancakes of the Day (one time cinnamon, the second time blueberry) as well as the Sandwiches on homemade buns. Plus the super crunchy bacon… hmmm!

Don’t miss out on this cool spot!
Very polite staff 😊 they have good breakfast options. I can recommend avocado 🥑 toast. It is very crowded so i can recommend to go early in the morning.
High quality and nice place.
I like Lagkagehuset pastries, but not the exhausting wait to get it. Management consistently understaffs this bakery, and life is too short to spend 20minutes waiting in line to buy a croissant. I won't be back any time soon.
Super nice Sushi, fresh and sweet.
It is a correct version of sushi with the right amount of rice.
Cannot recommend Social Brew enough. When buying an espresso based drink, there is a choice of either Brazilian or Honduran beans which really elevates the experience. They offer many milk options and a variety of coffees from cortado to cold brew. We ended up leaving with two bags of coffee to take back to Scotland because it was so delicious and were pleasantly surprised that we got a free coffee with each bag! We returned the next day for brunch and were not disappointed. I had the vegan breakfast which included the best scrambled tofu I have ever tasted. We also tried the freshly pressed juices which honestly cured my cold and the pastries which were so fluffy and fresh.
The food is delicious for the price. The staff are super friendly.
Excellent filter coffee, great beans, friendly service. Some good brunch and breakfast options, eggs, bread, salmon. Tried a cake, not a fun. Great coworking space, but pretty busy
We really enjoyed our sushi here. The miso soup and the sushi lovers roll were really good. Very fresh and they make the food in front of you.
The best burger I've ever had. Truly AMAZING. 🙌 Super nice staff and very cozy atmosphere. Thanks.
Bedste buffet jeg har prøvet hidtil. Man har virkelig sørget for, at enhver ret er nøje tilberedt og velsmagende på hver sin måde. Man bliver ikke mæt alt for hurtigt som visse andre steder og maden ser virkelig indbydende ud for øjnene, så det er ikke kun smagsløgene der bliver forkælet her. Atmosfæren var hyggelig og rolig med tilpas belysning. Service, ikke noget at komme efter. Alt i alt en super ekstraordinær oplevelse til en helt fair pris. Her kommer jeg helt sikkert igen 🍽
I had an exceptional meal at Cafe Wilder this evening. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. I was celebrating my friend's birthday and the staff pulled out all the stops. Danish flag put on the table as an acknowledgement of the occasion, complementary glasses of wine and we both felt really special. We thoroughly recommend this beautifully inviting cafe and look forward to visiting it again.
Exceptional breakfast if you get a chance to come here! The service is top notch; we have kids and they have a little table with books, the croissants are amazing and the breakfast is homemade cooking at its finest. Strongly recommended!
The salmon spread sandwich is great and affordable (laksemousse). It was very tasty but could have used more vegetables. The cortado is also a great choice for coffee and the service is very fast here.
Everything about this place is great!
Food is amazing, New York strip 👌👌👌the dessert as well was delicious, we were a group of people 10 and we all agreed it’s a 5 star place ! Service is great too, Professional and nice staff . They are all polite and flexible! 👏
10/10! We ordered a few different items off the menu and everything was great. Staff was super nice and helpful, as well as the café itself just simple, comfortable atmosphere and local people.
Leider saure Milch und fieser Kaffee
Delicious croque monsieur and coffee! Lovely atmosphere. Friendly staff
While this chain has commercialized baked goods and the goods have become less works of art (which they were in the original), it is still good to be able to get the goods all over (and at the airport!)
Prompt friendly service. We started with the bread basket. Delicious bread!! I ordered the chicken mushroom dish. The chicken was so tender! Lovely combination of flavors.
Had a cinnamon swirl which was amazing! But I waited quite some time to order it. It was a late Sunday afternoon, and not many people
The sushi here was so perfect and delicious. I could say that it was the best one I ate in Europe compared to other ones in similar price range. We went here 2 times in one day because we kept thinking about it haha. I recommend 1000 times.
Very cozy spot with great atmosphere. The food is delicious and the coffee is fantastic. The Halloumi salad was super tasty but had too much dressing for my preference. Very good vibe overall.
Great location with fantastic food! I had the halloumi salad with avocado and a cappuccino drink. Cannot fault the food at all, lovely atmosphere and the staff was very helpful!
This is my favourite place in Denmark.Every pastry amd dessert is unique and perfect to the last detail.Their drinks are absolutely delicious.The vibe is minimalistic and authentic to the danish modern style.I will forever miss the champagne muffins.
The brunch combo we got was tasty and well balanced. I would personally prefer a bit more eggs or an option with scrambled eggs. The coffee was good as well. Overall, the variety of brunch options is not huge, but it still would satisfy the taste of most of the visitors. I didn't know they offered coffee beans for takeaway, so I have one more reason to come back.
Vi fik måndens menu der var godt sammensat til en relativt billig penge, dog kom der ikke en wow oplevelse hos os.
Servicen var god, behjælpelig og opsøgende, men jeg synes stemningen i lokalet blev trukket meget ned af cafeteria lignede forhold bagerst i lokalet med div. projektører ol.
It was a nice shop with loads of dessert options but yes if you are looking for a waffle it is definitely not the place where you can find waffle... So for me the dessert was nice if you love chocolate you have lots of options from pastries and baked items. Also... There is a seating available you can enjoy over there or also you can take away with you things... For me it was overall good options to choose dessert from there....
I am certainly not a barrista, but I can only imagine that one should never serve scalding hot coffee.

The coffee is OK.

Normally this chain is OK to get coffee from.
Had crispy chicken burger & hangover burger.. Both were delicious & juicy. Sitting at the terrace on a sunny day is just lovely.
Very very good place. Nice view. Old fashioned but with modern tricks. Good food, cheerful waiters. I recommend.
I only go here for coffee and the danish pastry "hindbærsnitter". They have 30% student discount on hot beverages which is very nice. Otherwise comparatively too pricey. If you like expensive stuff it's very delicious and high quality.
