The best breakfasts in Copenhagen
Do you want to go in summer or winter? Copenhagen has plans for both seasons . Do you prefer classic architecture or a more hipster scene, or do you want to see it all? Choose between Nyhavn and Vesterbro , or jump from one to another in the same day.
And if we talk about the mornings, prepare them as you like. Early or late, sweet or savory: Copenhagen adjusts to your breakfast preferences.
**FOR EARLY EARERS: BANG & JENSEN **
If your flight has landed at ungodly hours of the night, or you're one of those people who catches the dawn already up and with your shoes on, Bang & Jensen welcomes you with open doors. One of the jewels of Vesterbro neighborhood , this old pharmacy converted into a café says good morning from 7 in the morning.
The menu includes from scrambled eggs on chocolate croissants , going by Wholemeal oatmeal and bread with national sausages And the best thing is that you don't have to choose: Bang & Jensen lets you create your own combo, as light or as powerful as you want. To drink, dare with the surprising and delicious green rhubarb tea.
In the Vesterbro neighborhood, try the national sausage
**FOR SLEEPY SLEEPERS: MOTHER **
Have your sheets gotten tangled, and have you been hit at 11 in the morning on an empty stomach? You don't have to leave Vesterbro, but head to Mother , which just opened its doors at that time. This restaurant is known throughout Copenhagen for its pizzas – one of the best in town – but your brunch is not far behind.
The buffet focuses more on the “–unch” part, with pasta salads, cheeses, and, of course, the very famous pizza, cooked in a wood-fired oven.
**FOR THE HOT: TOLDBODEN **
At first glance, going to Toldboden is a true declaration of love for breakfast. Located in the port of Copenhagen, next to Mærsk, this cafe is a bit out of the way and getting there is a Danish-style mini-odyssey (ie a very organized and punctual, if somewhat long, bus ride).

Accompany it with a traditional breakfast of bread with cheese, sausage, yogurt and homemade muesli.
