The Coffee Shop Hjem // Visit // The Coffee Shop Menu A little piece of the 1950’s The Coffee Shop is an integral part of Danish working class culture. At The Workers Museum we have a 1950’s coffee shop still in function – Kaffebaren. The 1950’s coffee shops could be found all over the city of Copenhagen. There were over a 100 different shops for the workers to visit when going for lunch. The workers came to the coffe shop during their break to have a cup of coffee, to read the paper and to eat – either “the dish of the day” served in the coffee shop or a packed lunch brought from home. The furniture in our own little coffee shop is from the days before the museum was established. It is the original furniture from when the building functioned as an Assembly Building and community Hall. Here we still serve cake – among others our famous chocolate biscuit cake – as well as candy, Danish Star-beer (only to be had in the Workers Museum!), sodas and hot chocolate. You can also enjoy a very special cup of coffee with the coffee substitute Rich’s in it, best known from days of product shortage during and right after the Second World War. These refreshments can be enjoyed in the nostalgic surroundings next to the beautiful old Banquet Hall. Contrary to the coffee shop of the old days, it is not possible to enjoy your packed lunch at the tables in Kaffebaren. Reservation of tables is not possible. Have a break in the coffee shop Rich’s and a cup of coffee The delicious Danish cakes.
