As an artist and freelancer living and working in Copenhagen, I love discovering new cute cafés where I can sit down with a good cup of coffee and get work done. Not only does a good cafe provide a change of scenery from my studio, but it also gives me the opportunity to interact with the local community and be inspired by the city's vibrant culture.
