Food Scene
Best coffeshop in town. The coffee, the interior and the ambience, the drinks, the home-made ginger beer..this is truly one of a kind and my go-to place both day and nights. Can be a bit crowded during lunch-hour, but it`s usually possible to find a seat. Does not serve food, but you can bring your own or order in.

Best bread in the city. Try the ones made with spelt, such as "Gardspelt" ,"Havrespelt" or "Grovt speltbrød".
