Cakenhagen - Koebenhavn

We came here for a coffee, on a Thursday afternoon around 3pm. The true reason we were there, was because I wanted to have a wedding dinner here, looking into tivoli, but boy oh boy. Stuck up front desk staff, hardly bothered greeting us up on arrival, the lady nearly lost it when I accidentally, called the brasserie for bistro which I apologised for, while she rolled her eyes at me towards her college. The restaurant… a mix between minimalistic (not in the cool Scandinavian way) and slightly tiered worn down looking. There was some odd music played, on the stage in Tivoli, during some yoga something, which gave us a very clear understanding, of the noice levels there must be, in The restaurant on a Friday doing summer concerts. The place was used by a mix of IT guys (not the rich and cool once), having an after work drink and what was clearly a tour groups of old and loud Americans dropping in for.. what I would call a rest, clearly not the first time random groups of pensioners not staying at the hotel use it for a discounted drink, pit stop and toilet on their way around Copenhagen, that topped with a rather plain, none impressive rather cheap looking toilet, yet at least clean and having to wait 15 mins for 2 simple coffees…. This is not a suitable restaurant for any 5 star hotel. God no! Never if I would even consider a normal dinner here never mind my wedding dinner! We are now having the dinner, stay and next day breakfast with our guests at “hotel D’angleterre”!

We were unable to dine on the terrace so opted for a table inside. We ordered our meal and wine. Our starters were fine although the green asparagus was very woody. Our main course arrived I took one mouthful of my risotto and new I could not eat it. We had to ask for attention as all the staff were busy clearing the dinner tables for the morning service. My husband and I were they only people in the main restaurant. We may as well have not been there. When they stood behind my husband stacking plates and cutlery he was so annoyed. I explained to the manager this issue but it was dismissed. The focus should be on the paying guest not the next service.

Lovely place in Tivoli to get one or more cake and coffee. Very friendly staff and service when we visited the place and got a lot of cakes and got a rest from all Tivoli virak

The cakes were delicious, but very expensive. It is not easy to find a table when the race was not cleared.

I've been on Cakenhagen at Vesterbrogade. It is a nice cafe and very modern decor, but without it there boring and cold atmosphere. The cakes are good.
