Apotek 57 is the charming eatery tucked inside FRAMA's Nyboder studio, where chef Chiara Barla serves up seasonal, house-made breakfast and lunch with a minimalist Copenhagen twist. It's the kind of spot where you'll find design lovers and locals grabbing cardamom buns or a fresh boiled egg before diving into the store next door. The vibe is calm and curated, but don't expect a long menu or late-night hours—it's a morning-to-afternoon affair focused on quality over quantity.
A minimalist café with exceptional cardamom buns
Apotek 57 is a delightful little eatery inside the FRAMA store in Nyboder, offering a refined take on Copenhagen café culture. The space is beautifully minimal, with warm wood tones and plenty of natural light, making it a perfect spot to linger over a coffee and one of their house-made cardamom buns. The menu is small and changes with the seasons, but the focus on quality ingredients and simple preparation shines through in every bite.
Chef Chiara Barla's approach is all about letting the ingredients speak for themselves. You'll find fresh boiled eggs, Turkish eggs, and a rotating selection of savory items that pair perfectly with their excellent coffee. The staff is friendly and efficient, though the space can get busy during peak morning hours. It's not a place for a long sit-down meal, but rather a spot to grab something delicious and enjoy the calm, design-forward atmosphere.
Overall, Apotek 57 is a standout for those who appreciate simplicity and quality. It's a great place to start your day in Nyboder, and the connection to FRAMA's design world adds an extra layer of charm. Just be sure to arrive early—the cardamom buns sell out fast.
