Sweet Spot on Køge’s Historic Square
Sanne's Desserter sits right on Torvet, Køge’s atmospheric main square, surrounded by colourful merchant houses and the gentle hum of everyday life. The café’s large windows and compact frontage open directly onto the cobbles, making it feel like an integral part of the townscape rather than a place hidden away on a side street. It is the sort of spot you notice as you wander past – light, inviting and filled with the scent of warm batter and roasted coffee. Inside, the space is intimate and uncluttered, with simple tables, a counter lined with cakes and a few carefully chosen decorative touches that keep the focus on what is being served. On brighter days, the front seating gives you a relaxed vantage point over the square, ideal for pausing with something sweet while you watch locals crossing Torvet or the market stalls being packed away.Homemade Waffles, Cakes and Coffee
The menu at Sanne’s Desserter revolves around classic café indulgences: homemade Belgian waffles, freshly baked cakes and straightforward hot and cold drinks. Waffles tend to be prepared to order, arriving at the table crisp at the edges and soft in the centre, often topped with ice cream, fruit or whipped cream. Alongside them you will usually find a small but changing selection of layer cakes, tarts and other baked treats displayed at the counter. Coffee is a central part of the experience and ranges from simple filter and espresso-based drinks to milky favourites that go well with a generous slice of cake. In warmer weather, iced drinks and soft beverages provide a sweet pause between walks around the old town, while in colder months the focus shifts to comforting hot drinks to warm up after time outdoors.Atmosphere Between Market Stalls and Old Houses
Part of the charm here is the relationship between the café and its surroundings. Torvet is one of Køge’s focal points, used for markets, small events and as a daily thoroughfare, so the atmosphere inside the café changes subtly with the rhythm of the square. On busy days it can feel lively and full of movement, with the murmur of voices drifting in each time the door opens; on quieter afternoons, it takes on a more tranquil character, somewhere to linger over a book or simply enjoy a slow coffee. Because the interior is relatively compact, the mood is casual and informal rather than grand. Conversations carry easily, staff move between tables and the counter, and there is a sense of being in a local meeting place rather than a formal restaurant. For many visitors to Køge’s centre, it naturally becomes a mid-morning or mid-afternoon stop woven into a broader day of exploring.Practical Details for a Tasty Pause
Sanne's Desserter keeps to daytime opening hours, typically from mid-morning until late afternoon on weekdays and slightly shorter hours on Saturdays, with Sunday usually closed. This makes it well suited to a coffee break, light dessert after lunch or a late-afternoon treat before you continue your day elsewhere in town. You can expect counter service with food brought to the table and a bill that reflects its central location but remains in line with Danish café pricing. Seating is mainly at standard-height tables and chairs, accessible directly from the level square outside. There is no need for reservations; instead, you simply drop in when a craving for something sweet strikes.Part of a Day in Køge’s Old Town
The café’s position on Torvet means it is easy to combine with visits to the surrounding streets of half-timbered houses, the nearby church and the town’s small shops. It works well as a family-friendly stop, as waffles and cakes appeal across generations, but it is just as attractive for solo travellers or couples taking time out in the middle of a walking tour. Rather than being a destination that demands planning, Sanne's Desserter functions as a convenient, welcoming anchor point in the centre of Køge: somewhere to regroup, refuel with sugar and caffeine, and enjoy a slice of Danish small-town life unfolding around you.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
