Cups 'n Cones Køge sits at the heart of the old town, fronting Køge’s atmospheric market square – one of Denmark’s best-preserved medieval squares. This vibrant café-brasserie is known for weaving together Scandinavian craftsmanship and a youthful touch, with everything from homemade ice creams and frothy milkshakes to delicate pastries, stacked brunch plates, and barista-level coffee. The interior radiates Danish 'hygge,' with comfortable seating, warm lighting, and soft music that invite you to linger. Ice cream is at the heart of the experience, with flavors often rotating to reflect the seasons or special creations—think salted caramel, tangy sorbet, or whimsical toppings tailored for younger visitors. In summer, the open-air seating spills onto the cobblestones, making it a prime people-watching spot. The brasserie menu keeps things both on trend and approachable, with light lunches, vegetarian options, waffles, and sweet treats that draw in families, couples, and solo travelers seeking a break from sightseeing. The central location means Cups 'n Cones is as much a gathering spot for Køge locals as it is a rest stop for day-trippers arriving from Copenhagen (just a half-hour train ride away). The friendly staff brings a welcoming vibe, and the steady chatter of patrons reflects this café’s reputation as a community favorite. Whether you’re pausing after touring the 14th-century church, shopping the weekly market, or simply seeking a taste of local life with a scoop in hand, this venue is an easy-to-love highlight of contemporary Køge. Prices are moderate, making it accessible for most travelers, and the quality rivals that of much bigger city cafés.
