Apotek 57 is a seasonal eatery inside FRAMA's Studio Store at Fredericiagade 57 in Copenhagen's Nyboder district. Chef Chiara Barla's offer includes house-made food and drinks, with baked goods also available in the former St. Pauls pharmacy. FRAMA dates the eatery's opening to October 2020, separate from the pharmacy's nineteenth-century history.
Best for Seasonal café food within FRAMA’s Copenhagen design store
Apotek 57 is the eatery inside FRAMA's Studio Store in Copenhagen's Nyboder district. Its address, Fredericiagade 57, places it in the former St. Pauls pharmacy, whose history reaches back to 1878. The food business is much newer: FRAMA records its opening in October 2020.
Chef Chiara Barla's menu centres on seasonal house-made food and drinks, with baked goods also available. The selection changes, so the useful reason to visit is that approach rather than an expectation of one fixed dish. Coffee and a pastry can be a shorter stop than a meal, while the surrounding store provides a separate reason to spend time in the building.
The interior keeps pharmacy woodwork and cabinets alongside FRAMA's contemporary furniture and objects. Tables, lighting and tableware are encountered in use rather than only as products on display. That relationship between the café and the design store is the defining feature of the visit. It does not mean that every object sold there was made in Denmark, or that the pharmacy's nineteenth-century date is the café's founding date.
Copenhagen's coffee pioneers — founded by World Barista Champion Klaus Thomsen, with direct-trade relationships, in-house roasting, and multiple locations. The company was founded in 2007 by Klaus Thomsen, Peter Dupont and Casper Engel Rasmussen. Beans are also offered by subscription.
Best for Direct-trade beans roasted in-house across nine Copenhagen and Aarhus cafés.
Coffee Collective is Copenhagen's specialty-coffee network, built on what its own site calls "100% directly traded coffee, supporting fairer farmer income." The company roasts everything itself and now runs nine locations across Copenhagen and Aarhus — Trianglen, Bernikow in Indre By, Carlsberg Byen, Godthåbsvej in Frederiksberg, Guldsmedgade in Aarhus, Jægersborggade, Sankt Hans Torv, a stall inside Torvehallerne, and Collective Bakery on Nørrebrogade, its own in-house bakery arm. B Corp certified, it publishes a transparency report detailing its direct farmer relationships and runs paid courses in both coffee tasting and roasting for anyone who wants to learn the trade rather than just drink the result.
The chain was founded by Klaus Thomsen, a former World Barista Champion, whose competition pedigree still shapes the house style: precise, single-origin-forward brewing rather than a fixed house blend. Wholesale customers get free shipping across Denmark and the EU, reflecting a business built as much around training baristas and roasters elsewhere as around pulling shots in its own cafés. For a visitor, the practical read is simple — nine addresses, one roastery, and a bean list that changes with the harvest calendar.
Frederiksberg's neighborhood café — excellent coffee, sourdough sandwiches, and a relaxed atmosphere that captures the essence of Copenhagen café culture. The local office for Frederiksberg creatives.
Best for The coffee, the sourdough, and the Frederiksberg local vibe.
Copenhagen's intellectual heart — narrow cobblestone streets around the university, with bookshops, cafés, secondhand stores, and a bohemian atmosphere. The city's most charming historic neighborhood.

MK Studio makes porcelain coffee cups and sensory vessels as well as pour-over drippers in a workshop in Glostrup outside Copenhagen. It sells them from a shop at Frederiksberg Alle 52. Founders Magdalena Kałużna-Włodarek, a ceramicist, and Michał Kałużny-Włodarek, a chef, design for cafés and restaurants as much as for home tables. The studio's B cup began as a 2016 World Brewers Cup competition cup.

MK Studio is a Copenhagen design and production studio founded by Magdalena Kałużna-Włodarek, a ceramicist, and Michał Kałużny-Włodarek, a chef. The two met in Poznań in Poland, and they now make porcelain coffee cups and sensory vessels, along with pour-over drippers and tableware for cafés and restaurants. The same pieces go to people who care how coffee and food are served at home. Every piece is developed and produced in the studio's own workshop in Glostrup, just outside Copenhagen, and sold from a shop at Frederiksberg Alle 52. Magdalena studied fine arts at Poznań University of Technology and domestic design at the School of Form. No design enters production without her review. Michał came to ceramics from restaurant kitchens including Relæ and Manfreds. He rebuilt the workshop's processes around CAD modelling and 3D printing together with digital mould design. In 2016 the studio made a competition cup for Mikaela Wallgren of Coffee Collective. She used it to finish runner-up at the World Brewers Cup in Dublin, and that shape became the studio's B cup. The same year the studio produced a full tableware collection for Restaurant 108 in Copenhagen.
