Røde Roses - Kids welcome



Ever get the feeling that someone broke all the rules and got away with it? That's what happened here at Røde Roses café. The furniture doesn't match, the coffee comes in some kind of yellow ceramic blob of a cup and there are gossip magazines on the tables instead of the predictable Vogue and Design magazines.
In fact this feels like someone's living room, rather than a café in Copenhagen.  There are toys, on shelves, lamps on stands instead of hanging from the ceiling....and a certain atmosphere of...caos.
Children are welcome here.  In fact the café used to be a kindergarden that was threatened to be closed. The owners of the café bought it up and continued with the kindergarden while using the café to earn money to pay for the rent.  The children meet each morning at the café and drive off to a forrest or some other place for the day, and meet back at the café in the afternoon.
But the real question is, how is the coffee? Well the coffee is quite good.  Here they use Kontra beans and have experienced staff at hand.  Not all are trained  baristas, but they do know a deal about coffee.
The café is situated way back in the city burbs at the north side.  You need to go a little out of the way to find it, but once you do, you will find that it was way worth the trip.  It is located in a charming little oasis on a cobblestone street.  Here you can see some of the old Copenhagen and experience a young and artistic café scene.
