When it comes to finding breakfast in Copenhagen, you have a few options to start your search. Breakfast and brunch are a more simple meal in Denmark. You’ll find the same staples as you would anywhere else: eggs, bacon, bread. The main difference is in the Copenhagen breakfast eateries. Unlike cities such as London and New York, Copenhagen is not the place to seek out bottomless champagne specials and bloody mary cocktails.
Breakfast is a more simple meal and it’s more functional than anything else. Often, a Danish breakfast consists of a buttered roll with cheese or with coffee and cake. These simple breakfast options, along with pastries, are found in Danish coffee shops and cafes around the city of Copenhagen. There are Copenhagen brunch spots, but don’t expect a booze-filled event where the mimosas flow. You’ll have excellent food and can sometimes order cocktails, but the star of Copenhagen breakfast is still the food.
