Nice place, but - Edit
They really don’t like vegans here. Don’t advertise that you’re vegan. They might kick you out.
Read moreBut other than that it’s a nice place.
Pros: Great panini, Nice staff, except managers
Cons: Not activist friendly, Hates vegans

One of my favorites in Aarhus - Edit
Love their concept.
Read moreThe staff is always friendly, the prices are good and most importantly their food is amazing.
On Wednesdays they have the global kitchen event. A few weeks ago I went there when the theme was Korean kitchen and it was so tasty.

Hygge Studiecafe - Edit
Super non profit Cafe! Sehr große Portion, Preis sehr fair! An dem Abend gab es nur das Menü von ihrem Special "Global Kitchen", gibt es wohl immer wieder das es "nur" das gibt, nicht nachvollziehbar an welchen Abenden.

Pumpkin Spice Latte und Sport Cola sind auch zu empfehlen!
Oh und die warmem Zimtschnecken!
Gesellschaftsspiele gibts auch, traut euch in den Hinterhof und die Treppe hoch!

Great vibe - Edit
Had a brief stop here before hopping back on our cruise ship (we’re probably not the usual demographic 😆). Really nice hummus and a good selection of beers and board games. Just sorry we weren’t in Aarhus longer or we’d definitely have been back!

Very surprising - Edit
It is a very left bar (which is great ofc) with a focus on the social aspects of a cafe rather than the food aspect. The bake goods were frozen but the coffee was fresh and great. The "global kitchen" events seem very interesting. For past reviews I wanna add that they now don't offer cows milk in coffees and changed it to 3 plant milks.

Great atmosphere! - Edit
Super cozy non-profit café with entirely vegan menu, activist events and free to lend board games ✨ The quality of food and drinks and the waiting time to receive them entirely depends on which volunteer is behind the bar, but most of the time it’s not too bad 🙏
Read morePros: amazing political events and messages, money goes to charity , interesting menu that changes seasonally
Cons: waiting time 2mins-1hr even when not busy

Laidback atmosphere and good food - Edit
We ordered two different paninis, the soup of the day, and a cinnamon roll. The food was good and the atmosphere in the cafe made us just stay there for a while and enjoy ourselves.

No es vegano - Edit
Fui toda feliz a merendar a este lugar y mi sorpresa fue cuando pedí el café, me preguntaron si con leche de vaca o de avena. Me quedé sorprendida, le dije que creía que el sitio era vegano y me dijeron que sí lo era, entonces me quedé confundida y le dije... ¿Pero me has ofrecido leche de vaca o entendí mal? Y me dijeron que sí que para dar opciones tienen leche de vaca pero todo lo demás es vegano. NO ENTIENDO NADA.

Nice Atmosphere - Edit
When I arrived at 12:30 pm there unfortunately was no option to take hot food because lunch only starts at 13:00 which I think is odd. So I went for the only option which was bread with peanut butter and jam , that tasted fine but was nothing special. The atmosphere in the cafe is very nice for working. They sometimes have events like climate Cafe.

Fully vegan now - Edit
Came in and was greated by smiling volunteers, who walked me through the menus.
Read moreI went for a panini and an ice coffee
The panini was freshly made to order and the ice coffee was made with fresh expresso and oat milk.
There's a small shop that sells organic t-shirts, baby-bodystockings and other cool things with political slogans.
There's pile of boardgames and a reading nook with a bunch of books, all free to use
Pros: Lots of vegan coffee and teas, Everything is organic, fairtrade or made by co-op, It's run by volunteers and profits go to charity
Cons: I disliked the music but that's a personal choice
