Aarhus
in Denmark

A concept store doubling up as the go-to Aarhus coffee destination. With a space designed by the interior design score of, CF Møller – Scandinavia's leading architecture firm – the white-painted, teal-shutter exteriors of the rectangular, unprepossessing building give way to an inside feast of design, There's smooth wood, stainless steel countertops, and clean white shelves decked with homeware and accessories. Shop Róhe, Homme, Frama, to name but a few, before siting down for a BMO and oat cortado. 

As Aarhus's first matcha bar, Hakkō outdoes itself in the green-drink game. Hand-picked strawberries are conjured into a thick syrup, mango is poured into the bottom of your typical matcha latte and early-grey is infused into the cup. Though the matcha doesn't stop at the drinks: it's combined in the pistachio buns and the baked black sesame cookies. For the non-matcha lovers, thankfully Hakkō is also a sourdough bakery meaning that you can still nab a breakfast bmo or a creamy cold-brew for your morning caffeine fix. 

This may just be the kiosk with the best views in Aarhus. Kaj Kiosk in the Marselisborg Marina juggles seaside and wooden-boat backdrops with laid-back breakfast fare, homemade slushies and sangria on tap. Join the flocks ordering their post-dip bmo or cooling down with a sprinkle-covered soft-ice, all served in a small harbourside shack. 

Lige Om Hjørnet is an Aarhus staple. When the sun is shining, cadge a stool on the street-spilling terrace and settle-in for an all-day type of hangout. A classic Danish breakfast arrives with thick wedges of freshly baked sourdough, ice-cream is scooped at served at its basement Is Bar and natural wine is dolled out as soon as the lunch-time frenzy begins. What is more, you're in prime position for the Ingerslevs Boulevard flea market. 

Manda is the casual cantine, breakfast club hangout and long-table supper event space defining the Aarhus foodie game. Hot honey toasts, a chia oat bowl served with baked rhubarb compote and caramelized banana to Turkish eggs doused in a hot chili oil; this is the breakfast of breakfasts. Take a pew on the morning sun-drenched terrace out front for the ultimate people watching and, when the afternoon hits, order aperitifs for the courtyard in the back.
