Social Foodies

Top choice in Aarhus


Social Foodies should be applauded for its ethos (it's involved in a number of socially minded programs in Africa), but it also receives loud local plaudits for its beloved ice cream and chocolates, including the most quintessential of Danish sugar hits, flødeboller (marshmallowy cream puffs coated in chocolate). Our favourite feature: sign up for a fun flødeboller-making course.
