the best spots for coffee in nordvest

KaffeDepartementet - one of the great coffee spots in Nordvest

Nordvest is quickly becoming one of Copenhagen’s most exciting neighborhoods - not least because of its thriving coffee scene. Whether you're after a perfect espresso, a cozy corner to work from, or a new local favorite, these cafés deliver.

Here’s a roundup of the best places to grab a coffee in Nordvest:

Flere Fugle – A Local Favorite for Any Time of Day

Located in Demokrati Garage on Rentemestervej, Flere Fugle is a beloved café and bakery that’s become a true neighborhood staple since opening in 2022. Their coffee is consistently great, and the chai lattes—served in beautiful Julie Damhus ceramics—make for an extra special treat.

Come for the fresh bread and pastries in the morning, stay for the relaxed vibes and pizzas in the evening. Whether you’re working, catching up with friends, or grabbing something to-go, Flere Fugle never disappoints. If you want as good coffee but discover something else? Check out Flok at Rentemestervej Bibliotek or Fovl, directly on Frederikssundsvej!

Kaffedepartementet – For the True Coffee Lovers

Just across the street from Flere Fugle, Kaffedepartementet is a haven for purists. They roast their beans on-site, letting the origin and character of each coffee shine. The space is housed in a cool industrial building with a calm atmosphere—perfect for both solo mornings and social afternoons.

And don’t skip the tebirkes. Rumor has it (from a very reliable source) that they’re the best in Copenhagen.

Café Thoras – Warm Vibes in a Creative Community

Located in the Thoravej 29 creative space, Café Thoras is a recent addition to Nordvest’s café landscape. It offers quality coffee, fresh pastries, and nourishing dishes in a welcoming setting. With its roots in community and sustainability, it’s a great place to feel part of the local rhythm.

Café Gazou – A French Touch with Neighborhood Charm

Tucked away on Nattergalevej, Café Gazou is run by a former Michelin chef and brings a French-inspired warmth to Nordvest. The coffee is strong and the ambiance is friendly. Locals love the simple, delicious menu and the communal dinners that bring people together each week.

Café Virente – Cozy Coffee with a Purpose

This unassuming café on Rentemestervej offers a cozy space for locals to connect. It's part of a broader initiative focused on inclusion and community, and it shows in the welcoming feel. Grab a coffee and enjoy a calm, authentic Nordvest moment. But be careful! Open from 11am to 3pm every week day.

Tekno Eatery – Where Coffee Meets Sustainability

More than just a café, Tekno Eatery is a sustainable, organic cafeteria that serves up Damn Good Coffee (literally—it’s the roastery they use). It’s bright, friendly, and community-minded, with a menu that includes both delicious coffee and nourishing meals.

Arrebo – Not Quite Nordvest, but Close Enough to Count

Located just over the border in Nørrebro, Arrebo is a cozy classic. It’s the kind of place where you’ll want to linger over your coffee, whether you’re basking in a sun-drenched window or catching up with a friend over a toast or breakfast plate. Not technically Nordvest, but we’re including it anyway—because it’s just that good.

No matter what kind of coffee experience you're after—something refined, something cozy, or something with heart—Nordvest has you covered. ☕✨
