Find peace in the city with a break at KALA and a walk around the Lakes

In the middle of vibrant Copenhagen, where bicycles whiz by and coffee cups are carried to-go down the sidewalk, KALA Bar is a small oasis. Here the pace is slower, the sounds are muted and the atmosphere is laid-back. It is a place where you are welcome to sit down without looking at the clock. Where you are allowed to take an extra breath and let your shoulders drop a little.

KALA was created with that in mind: to provide space for a break. A place where you can enjoy a good cup of coffee, a plate full of flavor, or just sit with your gaze out the window and feel the city quietly pass by.

A quiet moment before or after

One of the best things about our location is that we are just a few minutes' walk from the Lakes – one of the city's most beloved places to walk. This makes it an ideal choice to combine your visit with a quiet stroll around the water.

Whether you come by in the morning, before the city has really woken up, or later in the day, when the light falls low and soft across the lake's surface, it's an experience that brings peace. The water, the trees, the birds and the glimpses of city life you encounter along the way give you the feeling of being in the middle of it all and yet a little outside.

Calm, taste and presence

At KALA you can bring the peace inside. We have room for both a quick cup of coffee and a long conversation. We bake fresh bread every morning, brew coffee and serve food that tastes of something – made with thought and love for the good ingredients.

Whether you start or end your walk with us, we hope you feel the atmosphere. The one that makes you stay a little longer. Or take your coffee in hand and continue into the day, a little more grounded.

We look forward to welcoming you.

Whether you're a local, commuter, student or visitor to the city – KALA is your break in the middle of everyday life. And maybe, if you have time, a trip around the Lakes afterwards. Or before. You decide the pace.
