Local tips
- Aim for a late-morning visit on weekdays if you want the calmest atmosphere and the best chance of claiming a sofa or window seat.
- Come hungry for brunch: the breakfast plates and homemade bread are generous, so plan your visit as a full meal rather than a quick snack.
- If you care about tea, ask about their different blends and herbal infusions—staff can usually recommend something beyond the standard options.
- Space inside is cosy rather than spacious, so larger prams and wheelchairs may find it tight; consider this when choosing where to sit.
- Check current opening days before planning a visit, as the café typically closes on some weekdays and only operates during daytime hours.

Discover more about Café T
Hidden café life in Køge’s old streets
Café T sits on Nyportstræde, one of Køge’s smaller back streets, a short stroll from the town’s market square yet pleasantly removed from the busiest corners. From the outside it looks modest, with simple signage and large front windows that glow invitingly on grey Danish days. Step inside and it feels more like dropping into someone’s home than entering a conventional restaurant. The space is compact and intimate, with low ceilings and an easy murmur of conversation. Being slightly off the main thoroughfare gives it a neighbourhood character; it works as much as a local living room as a place for visitors to refuel between sights.Retro charm and living-room comfort
The interior is furnished with a mix of vintage tables, old wooden chairs and comfy sofas gathered around small coffee tables. Nothing looks overly coordinated; the charm lies in the slightly mismatched pieces, patterned cushions and small decorative details that suggest a space that has grown organically over time. Soft lighting, framed art and shelves lined with teapots and jars of loose-leaf tea add to the sense of warmth. On cooler days, the café feels particularly snug, a place to linger over a second pot of tea while the weather does its thing outside. Seating can feel close-knit at busy times, but that intimacy is part of the atmosphere here.Brunch plates, home baking and serious tea
Café T is best known for hearty breakfast and brunch plates built around freshly baked bread, eggs, fruit and good-quality charcuterie. Home baking is a clear focus: you are likely to find grovbolle-style rolls, cakes, muffins or waffles emerging from the kitchen during the day, with seasonal variations appearing alongside classics. True to its name, tea is taken seriously, with a broad selection of blends and herbal infusions served in generous pots. Coffee drinkers are well served with standards such as café latte and cappuccino, and there is usually hot chocolate for those after something sweeter. Light lunches tend to centre on sandwiches, salads and simple, well-prepared café dishes.Rhythm of the day and best times to visit
The café opens late morning and trades mainly through daytime hours, reflecting its role as a brunch and lunch destination rather than an evening venue. Weekdays often have a gentle, local pace with people reading, working quietly or meeting for a mid-morning treat. Weekends bring a livelier brunch crowd, especially late morning when tables can fill quickly. Because the room is not large, it can feel pleasantly bustling once the lunch period peaks. Arriving close to opening time is ideal if you prefer a calmer experience and the pick of the softer armchairs and corners by the window.Practical notes for a relaxed stop
Café T’s central location makes it easy to combine with walks through Køge’s old town, visits to the main square or a wander towards the harbour. Daylight from the street-facing windows provides attractive natural light, useful if you enjoy photographing food or interiors. The café’s age and layout mean space can be tight for pushchairs and it is not among the most accessible venues in town for wheelchairs. There is usually indoor seating only, which keeps the focus on its cosy interior rather than outdoor pavement life. Prices reflect a moderate, sit-down brunch café in Denmark, with quality ingredients and homemade baking at the core.A cosy pause in a historic market town
What distinguishes Café T is the way it translates Danish hygge into a functioning daytime café. It is somewhere to slow down between errands, to settle in with a pot of tea and a slice of cake, or to start a day of exploring Køge with a generous brunch. Its blend of homely décor, carefully prepared food and unhurried rhythm makes it a natural pause point in this compact, historic town.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
