To Fika in Copenhagen: Where are the real cafés in America?



I found this café, Kompa’9 on a hot summer’s day in Copenhagen. I didn’t have a cup of coffee, instead, I wanted a cool class of fresh apple juice and one of their toasted rye bread sandwiches. The sandwich blessed my soul! It was so delicious I needed a moment of silence. As soon as I finished my sandwich, a bunch of customers came in and I was outta’ there. Kompa’9 is a great place and I’ll be sure to visit again as they now serve tapas and cocktails at night.
If you’d like to know more about the culture of fika, take a look at these lovely six part documentary here.
I can hardly wait to get back to Copenhagen and discover even more of this dynamic city and its people!
