The third day of our city break in Copenhagen brought more sight-seeing and more importantly more muffins!
We stumbled upon ‘Emmerys‘ a great little organic cafe that sells the best freshly squeezed orange juice and the most amazing muffins (this time we sampled a banana on and a chocolate one) – we died and went to muffin heaven! This is definitely a place to stop off for refreshments if you ever venture to Copenhagen.
After refuelling, we decided to browse some of the shops and large department stores along Stroget. Our favourite store was ‘Illums Bolighus‘ where I literally could have lived in the shop because it was so full of gorgeous creative furniture, home ware and gifts of original designs. I loved the wooden animals of Kay Bojesen (I hadn’t heard of him either until then). Although I appreciate good craftsmanship and handmade products, I still felt they were a tad pricey for me (shame, as I would have loved to have taken the wooden elephant home with me).
Another great department store was Magasin du Nord, again this was full of great furniture, lighting and home ware and gifts. We did make a few purchases, but nothing too exciting, just some funky metal coat hangers (told you it wasn’t exciting) but they did look fab! The Danes have a way of making everyday functional objects just look cool.
