Where to Find Vegan Brunch Options in Copenhagen All Week Long
#1 42Raw
Pilestræde 32, 1112 København, Denmark
If I could roll out of bed and head into this too-cool-for-school plant-powered eatery, I would! The hip vibe pairs perfectly with the colorful berry-topped smoothie bowls, specialty lattes, and unbelievable stacks of raw and gluten-free pancakes.
While everything on the menu is top-notch, the superfood-packed pancakes topped with coconut cream and goji berries are something special — let’s be honest, a raw, gluten-free, vegan pancake can either be da bomb or da trash! If you’re feeling especially hangry, go for a triple stack of those pancakes or check out their special brunch platter — this baby is loaded with pancakes, sweet potato fries, toast, and granola! It’s safe to say you won’t be hungry for a while.
#2 Bistro Verde
Sankt Annæ Pl. 22, 1250 København, Denmark
This modern vegan spot always pushes the bounds of creativity, debuting new alt-meat products (Juicy Marbles, Revo Salmon) along with a colorful parade of veggie stars. Well, that creativity doesn’t end at breakfast or brunch!
All week long, you can wander in here for traditional veganized Danish pastries like a golden Spandauer filled with vanilla custard or opt for something more traditional like almond butter topped toast, tart berry porridge, and much more. On the weekend, the special brunch menu comes out and features a knock-your-socks-off spread of fluffy pancakes, house-made granola, avocado toast, crispy bac’n, and more! The weekend brunch menu is only available Saturday and Sunday until 1 PM — don’t miss it.

Pastry lovers, you can’t miss a visit here! This quaint vegan café is tucked back in a quiet residential neighborhood — if you’re not on the hunt for it, you’ll miss it. They are well known for their stunning house-made pastries, created with a unique natural fermentation process that makes them oh so light and fluffy! Depending on when you visit, you might be delighted with a fragrant cardamom knot, golden wave croissant, or pain au chocolate!

#5 Det Rene Brød
Two locations in Copenhagen
At first glance, I thought, oh, there’s no way this spot has vegan options — it gave off a heavy “we like moo-filled delights” vibe, but I was wrong! This Danish bakery is popular with locals and visitors for its extensive house-made bread and pastry lineup. While enjoying an oat milk latte, vegans can also start their day with a delicious cinnamon snail, raisin tea buns, or a tebirkes (a traditional flaky pastry wrapped around almond paste and topped with poppy seeds). One more bonus: They list many of their creations on their website and all the ingredients!

*Open seasonally*

If you’re feeling radiant, you might want to check out their special acai bowl topped with house-made granola and seasonal fresh fruit, but if that’s not your vibe, there’s more. For the ultimate start to your day, go for the oh-so-chic Boho Brunch! This massive breakfast platter features a little bit of everything — a mini acai bowl, scrambled tofu toast, salad, croissant, and even cake! Yes, you read that correctly; you get to start the day with cake — go wild!
