GONZALO GUARDA / HEAD BAKER

» My favourite breakfast spot in the city. The selection of baked good is outstanding and is amazing how Chiara and her team built up such an hype in this little time. Their service is friendly and vivant, really refreshing in a city like Copenhagen. Go there for the bun with butter and cheese and housemade jam. «

HENRIQUE CASTILHO / HEAD CHEF

» Located hidden from the main streets and tugged in/connect to the Frama shop, Apotek 57 creates a mandatory stop when in the city center and when in need to some delicious food. They make their pastries, bread, waffles, among other things. The vibe is happy, friendly and always pushing the standard. It just feels like you are on the living room of your home, it’s often that the times goes by without you notice. That’s when you know that you are on the right place :) «

XAVIER AARONSON / HANGOVER HEALER & STREET FOOD MAKER

» I stumbled upon Apotek 57 for a meeting — with my now bun maker, Paolo — and was taken aback by the stylish, delicious and convivial atmosphere. Lola and Chiara put out fun-loving Italian vibes while whipping up a mean seasonal salad with fresh cheese from Søtoftes. Always leave room for their crispy and naughty croissants. «

LOLA ZLOKAPA / CHEF & CO-OWNER

» It needs to, I went to work there because it was my favorite breakfast spot. Now that I don’t go there daily, I dream daily of my granola. «

VICTORIA LYTJE KOCH / SUPERVISOR & WAITER / CORSA PIZZA

» Apotek57 has recently become one of my favorite spots for breakfast and studying. I love the place’s ambience with its open kitchen space, and long tables. It is the perfect spot for people watching in Copenhagen. «

BO PHILLIPS / GENERAL MANAGER / CADENCE

» It’s hard to be cool and not pretentious. This place nails it. Simple beauty in everything. «

ASTRID JOHANSEN & MARIA LIMA / OWNERS

» Apotek 57 is a beautiful eatery situated inside an old apothecary, now designed store Frama. Italian chef Chiara Barla and her team have a small but well-curated selection of pastries, daily specials and seasonal dishes - all characterized by their simplicity and honesty. Yet the flavors and compositions are incredibly intentional and complex, highlighting and honoring each ingredient. We go there for the signature croissant with chocolate miso filling, and buckwheat galette with asparagus, kale and ramson flowers. That whipped ricotta and vanilla and honey roasted red grapes on toast were really amazing as well. «
