Riccos - The spirit of North--West

The North - West has a cultural aspect attached to it; things happen as they happen, in the time that they happen and boasts a kind of "break free" lifestyle. 


Stefansgade is a charming street situated in the North - West and here you can see thriving café scene in Copenhagen, with outside seating in the cheap, but functional bench and table fashion.

Riccos is just one of the many cafés here, but I chose it because they do roast their own coffee beans and was hoping to find a great cup of coffee.

People at Riccos certainly do look like they are enjoying themselves and there is a very laid back atmosphere.


Surprisingly enough there is an extra little room at the back of the café where there unfolds even more stories. You can tell that this is a place that the locals enjoy.


On a scale of 1 - 10, I would give the coffee a 7. The milk was too hot, giving the coffee a slightly bitter taste. This is not to say that the café could at other times make a good coffee.  The café does originate from the Ricco Café in Studiestræde in the centrum where the rumour has it that the coffee is really good. 
Besides the fact that the coffee could have been a notch better, the café is really local and tells that local story.  It is worth a visit if your long for a little cup of freedom with a sprinkle of laid back attitude.
