The Living Room

Their frushes are amazing! The mint, lime and elderflower one is the most delicious and refreshing drink I’ve ever had! So happy I stumbled upon this place.

The name says it all. As cozy and «hygge» as it gets.

The Living room is one of the cosiest cafés in Copenhagen. Dimly lit corners with couches you will just sink into and never want to get out of especially in the winter when it’s cold outside.
They serve really great smoothies and fresh juices, as well as a variety of snacks. This is a very popular place so usually it is smart to first try to find a place to sit and reserve it with your jacket and only then go order at the counter.
The perfect place for a relaxing drink/​snack and conversation!

I love, love, love the Living Room and absolutely adore it with all my heart. I can say with confidence that it is my favorite café in Copenhagen. I bring all my friends here whenever I can.
What makes the Living Room my perfect café:
–The staff is friendly
–The dessert, pastries, drinks are all so delicious. I could eat their carrot cake all day.
–The café has two floors with different ambiences: The upstairs portion of the café has a general café atmosphere. When I need to study or be productive I stay in this area because the lighting is better and outlets are available. The downstairs area is where I go when I want to hang out and talk with friends. It’s super cozy and has plenty of seating with really comfortable couches. You can definitely see where the café gets its name.
–The concept of the Moroccan room is just really cool
–They open relatively late.
I recommend everyone to visit this A+ café at least once.

This place is very close to where I’m staying so I’ve already walked by several times since I arrived. Even though, this is a holiday week, they looked like they were open most days, but with shorter hours.
I’d probably liked it better here in a daylight, but I came here at night. I had a bowl of ‘Spanish Bean Soup’ and a glass of mint tea. I’d say that the soup was a combination of ‘Southwestern soup and vegetarian chili’, and it was SO yummy and was perfect for a cold rainy night! The portion was HUGE; unfortunately, I could barely eat ²⁄₃. I don’t believe that they offer a doggy bag like in the states, so sadly, I had to leave the rest. Mint tea was also good (I think it’s just hot water on the bottom covered with bunch of mint leaves and stir with one of those sugar crystal stick that will melt and will add some sweetness.) The price for these 2 was 110 DKK, $ 16 total. I’d say about the same I would’ve paid in SF. BUT you get more portion than you would get in SF. The price may seem high, but that’s probably because the tax is 25% here. But of course, that higher tax guarantees Danes a comfortable life with less social problems than the US, especially in the later part of your life.
Lastly, the staff is as friendly as they can get!

Friendly staff, OK goat sandwiches but bad hot chocolate, as it was a watery cacao instead. (No, I wasn´t enjoying it at the same time)). The price/​value rate could be better, in my opinion.

Schönes Café: Unterpunkte Wände, Kerzen, verschiedenste bequeme Möbel, frische Säfte, smoothies, Milkshakes und Kuchen wie von Omma!
Sehr gemütlich. War zwar nur tagsüber da, aber der laden funktioniert abends garantiert gut als Bar.

A true manifestation of «hygge» — an untranslatable Danish word meaning a sense of coziness and closeness in a warm setting.
Up top The Living Room functions as a full café with tea/​coffee/​fresh juice options alongside baked goods and some fresh food. Downstairs the hygge really kicks in and you can see how this place gets its name — mismatched worn down cozy couches and candlelight makes for the perfect spot to relax and catch up with a friend. The perfect balance of a café and home feel. The fresh ginger tea is extremely soothing and much of their baked goods are fresh and homemade.
Glad I found this cozy spot, especially for the days I want to escape the cold and feel at right at home.

Really cozy with cheap cocktails (2 for 100dkk 19:00 — 23:00 happy hour!!) and yummy looking desserts. The place is like a bar and a café at the same time. Honestly, the whiskey sour I had was one of the best mixed ones I’ve had out on town.
Downstairs is where it gets it name… It really does look like a living room and it’s super cozy with its couches and dim lit lights. The only bad thing is… Do they have the wifi though? No.

I am just going to breeze past the surroundings, atmosphere and all else which you can confirm in other reviews as being outstanding. I’m going to focus on my first-​ever food obsession.
For me, it’s all about the carrot cake. it is the absolute best carrot cake I have ever, EVER tasted.
Forget The Little Mermaid, the castles, the incredible museums and the other thousands of things to do and see in Copenhagen. Just try the carrot cake.
I am flying back for the cake. That’s just sick, but true. When I get back, I am heading first to the Living Room. For cake. What have I become? Can I be helped? Try it. You’ll understand.

Halifax was full so we had to wait half an hour. We chose this place as the other bar nearby had people smoking inside.
The service was ok and the place seemed very chilled. Only had bottled drinks so can’t say much. Would like to go back for more.

I love this place! My buddy brought me and my friends here and said it was her favorite café. I can see why now. It has some serious «hygge». We sat downstairs where the lighting was dim and there were comfy sofa seats. I could see myself spending a whole day here just because it’s so cozy. The staff were really friendly, like more Danes :) The food was a bit towards the pricier side, but it’s comparable to other café’s in Copenhagen. I will definitely be back!

I had been recommended The Living Room by a friend, so I decided to take three Dane-​curious Norwegians here one freezing November afternoon.
The Living Room definitely had the atmosphere we were looking for; which was warm and cosy. At first the place looked jammed, but we found a worn down couch and a couple of chillaxing arm chairs in the downstairs, very «living room like», area.
The staff was very friendly, the place was a bit messy, but clean and the vibe was relaxed. I had a hot chocolate, which was fine, but could do with an even richer flavor in my opinion. Decently priced, though.
The Living Room seems like a perfect spot for starting winter evenings out and about with friends or for that hot date.

Good place to chill on a cold winter night. They seem to have everything here as a coffee shop. There’s place for work to be done but also lower floors with comfy sofas and chairs where you can just sit and hang out. The prices seem reasonable for CPH and you don’t feel pressured to hurry up and leave. They also have a live fireplace if you just want to sit and chill by the fire. Close by the walking street… definitely a place to stop by.
One other thing… free wifi! What more can I say?

I loved the layout, atmosphere and look of this place. We stopped in only for drinks but came away with a great impression.
There are two floors to the place. The top is a normal café style layout but selling alcohol as well. The bottom is a really cool cave like setup with lots of different coves and cubby holes. It gives a real later night pub with a moody ambience to the place.
Cool atmosphere, nice crowd and Brooklyn IPA to drink. What’s not to to like.
Give this place a try for beers if you are in the area.

Great café in central Copenhagen with vegetarian options. Was looking for a simple veggie lunch and their sundried tomato/​goat cheese/​olive bruschetta and arugula sandwich on a thoroughly seeded bread did the trick. Good vibes. Would definitely hangout here if I was a local.

My favorite café. Especially the open fire is nice during the winter. This is the perfect café to bring a date.

We stopped by for brunch today and had great food and fresh juice. I had the brunch special for 89kr which in includes a hard-​boiled egg, yogurt and müsli, salami, cheese, homemade bun, sliced grapefruit and apple, and your choice of latte/​tea/​fresh juice. I chose the «Sejuice Me» and watched the guy juice a whole apple, carrot, and 2 oranges into my cup. I love that we got free samples of any extra smoothie or milkshake they made for free. Really appreciate good service! Free wifi too! I could eat like this every day.

This to me is the epitome of what a typical Copenhagen coffee shop is like. It has the great hyggelig atmosphere with the Copenhagen ambiance, and an AWESOME selection of not only cakes and cookies, but sandwiches as well! I have only come in the daytime, but I hear they have a great nightlife and happy hour. The prices are very typical Copenhagen, so no surprise there. My favorite thing to get is their chai latte. Super yummy and delicious. if you really want to get a feel of what Copenhagen coffee culture is, come here. You will leave feeling warm and fuzzy inside. :)

This place serves a great happy hour and I’ll tell you what, the cocktails are STRONG. Start at 7pm and meander your way through the smaller streets near the university after said cocktail and there will be many a great restaurant (fancy and hipster) to eat at. The coffee here is really good too.
Come in the evenings for a very cozy, dark, intimate session in the basement room. Not to be missed as one of the coziest places in Copenhagen. You won’t regret it.

This café was the pinnacle of Danish hygge with its dark spaces, mysterious aura, and clientele that would undoubtedly be considered ‘hipsters’ by American standards.
The drinks and food is a little pricey, but given that it’s Cph, I suppose that’s just automatically a given. However, a student, and apparently this is geared towards students, I can’t really call myself a fan of this place. This is not a kind place for a foreign student’s bank account. I was fretting about the money that I bought for a latte and cookie and the fact that I could’ve used it in favor for eggs and veggies.
Regardless, this place is definitely one I would consider splurging when I want to immerse myself in the Danish culture of hygge and a fantastic spot for people watching.

netter Laden, vergleichbar der nahe liegenden Bar7, bei der ich living room Charakter schrieb ohne diesen The living room zu kennen. Als Café oben etwas klein, unten etwas duster, aber als Bar richtig gut!

Ein super Laden. Mitten im studentischen Treiben von Kopenhagen gelegen, bedint man sich oben am Tresen selber. Im unteren Bereich kann man dann mit seinem Cocktail auf zusammengewürfelten Vintage Möbeln, die meist aus Leder sind, gemütlich vorm dem offenen Kamin sitzen. Das Holz legt man hier selber nach. Ein Cocktail iegt bei 70 – 80 Kronen also ca. 10 EUR, jedoch gibt es ein Angebot 2 Cocktails/​Longdrinks für 100 Kronen zu bekommen, was dann für Kopenhagen ein echt super Deal ist.
Wir waren auf einem Samstag Abend da und haben zu Zweit noch entspannt einen Platz bekommen.

sehr gemuetliche wohnzimmeratmosphaere mit kamin. groesstenteils studentisches publikum.

Ein total gemütliches Café, dass abends zur Bar wird. Oben bestellt man am Tresen und kann dort auch entlang des Fensters an einem weiteren Tresen zu sitzen.
Unten wird es richtig gemütlich. Ein Kamin in der Ecke und ein buntes Sammelsurium von Sesseln, Sofas und Liegen lädt zum entspannen ein. Das Publikum besteht hauptsächlich aus Studenten, wohl auch davon bedingt, dass die Bibliothek der Juristen gleich nebenan ist.
Der Kuchen und die Brownies sind sehr empfehlenswert und die Tees sind grandios und auch der Kaffee ist super.
Leider wird man für ein Stück Kuchen und ein Kaffee schnell 70 kr (ugf 10 EUR) los, aber so ist das halt in Kopenhagen. Da sind solche Preise der Standart.
