Nordre Frihavnsgade 52, 2100 København Ø

The reason why lots of people are queuing up outside the tiny Østerbro café Canteen during the weekend is that chef Mai makes a wicked, wholesome brunch served in little bowls complete with homemade hazelnut chocolate cream (Nutella) and raspberry rhubarb vanilla jam at a very reasonable price.

Ny Østergade 20, 1101 København K

Located in the city’s shopping epicentre Café Zeze is where the creative class have morning work meetings and breakfast in front of the laptop: soft-boiled organic eggs, a croissant with your coffee or a continental breakfast with complementary homemade bread at very reasonable prices.

Elmegade 4, kl. tv., 2200 København N

The coffee shop in Elmegade opens early and has a real cosy, rustic Nørrebro vibe. Each morning you see regular customers having the gourmet coffee from The Coffee Collective, soft-boiled eggs, fresh croissants or continental breakfast with the daily paper or the laptop for company.

Strandvejen 235, 2920 Charlottenlund

If the weather inspires you to a bike ride along Strandvejen, Café B next to Skovriderkroen is a lovely place to sit outside and have brunch. Food is a little on the expensive side, but also of a much better quality than the kind of breakfasts students with severe hangovers prepare in most café kitchens. The choices are many, but do not miss out on Café B’s superb French toast.
