Kafeteria SMK

Update October 2025: the place has new owners and is called Magnolia. What a disappointment. No wonder it was almost empty on Sunday morning. The food can’t be compared to the original Kafeteria. We tried the morning bread plate, fritatta (cold egg muffin in reality) and French toast. Overall, I was disappointed and will not come again. Old review: Love Kafeteria in SMK - I hsve visited many times and I am never disappointed. I am super sad about the negative reviews and low rating. The food is delicious, especilly the daily menu. The pastry is okay, not exceptional (except their cookies). Good quality and wide selection of drinks. The only downside of this place are the crowds of people - it is hard to find a place to sit, literally every time. And because people do not clean after themselves, the tables are dirty. Prices are average for Copenhagen standards. And the portions are huge! And yes, I do love the pancakes. ❤️🥞

Now called Magnolia. We paid DKK 355 for 2x small portions of mushroom salad straight from the fridge with cold toast on top and two glasses of water. Avoid this place, their pastry looked nice enough though.

Expensive- for what you see in the picture (small cup cappuccino,1bottle Coca-Cola,2 pastries) we paid 170dkk(22,79€) .The only yummy thing that we ate was the pastry with sesame seeds on top. The place was Noisy;by people,staff and plates. We stopped here just to refuel before finishing up our museum tour. It wasn’t great but not bad.

The coffee and atmosphere is still nice. Unfortunately, I miss the homeliness of the old menu with pancakes, soup and bolle med ost. In comparison with glyptoteket the new cafe has poor selection, smaller portions and higher prices. It has made me reconsider my yearly pass because I used to love visiting and having lunch afterwards 🥲

Very good coffee, bmo, pancakes and kage! The staff is very kind. The cafe is large and lovely! In the summer even more pleasant due to the huge windows and beautiful views.

Pumpkin soup was delish! Bread also so delicious and soft. Pancakes were not great, I wouldn’t order them. But beautiful room and view!

I ordered food and it was the most disgusting food I've ever tasted in my life. The coffee was also disappointing. When you pay 35 euros, you expect nice service and delicious food. I didn't get that at all

It’s quite expensive, but it’s the most beautiful café I’ve ever been to! The high ceilings, numerous lampshades, and large windows create a lovely atmosphere. I would want to visit this café often. If I lived in Copenhagen and stayed in this space for a long time, I would really enjoy it because it’s so spacious.
