Pixie

Nørrebro & Østerbro


Strung with colourful lights, low-rise boho cafe Pixie looks straight off the streets of Buenos Aires. Inside it's a hyggelig affair, with mismatching furniture, candlelight and soulful tunes on the speakers. Grub is fresh, unfussy cafe fare, from organic scrambled eggs with pico de gallo to salads, an organic-beef burger and home-baked cookies.

If the weather's on your side, grab a table on the leafy square or in the courtyard. Note that the kitchen closes at 9pm Monday to Saturday and at 8.30pm on Sunday.
