9 brunch rooms in Copenhagen we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Copenhagen | Brunch across every city.

The customisable brunch board is a genuine Copenhagen invention, and the queues outside its originators are part of the city's weekend rhythm. Mad & Kaffe on Sønder Boulevard in Vesterbro codified the format of small plates you assemble yourself, while Atelier September on Kronprinsessegade in Indre By set the design-cafe template of vegetarian-leaning plates and filter coffee. Bakeries play their part too: Hart Bageri on Gammel Kongevej in Frederiksberg runs a stand-up breakfast counter from early morning.
