Perchs Tea Room
Bakery & coffeeIndre By, Copenhagen
Tea and cake above an 1835 tea merchant on Kronprinsensgade.
Illustration made with AI
A.C. Perchs has sold tea on Kronprinsensgade since 1835, and the tea room sits above the shop. It is afternoon tea in the English form — scones, sandwiches and cakes in tiers — in a room that has not been modernised.
The shop downstairs is part of the experience: wooden drawers, scales and tea weighed out to order. Upstairs the ceilings are low and the china belongs to the house. You can also settle for a pot of tea and a slice of cake.
Open Monday to Friday from ten to half past five and Saturday until five. Closed on Sunday.
Book at weekends — there are not many tables, and afternoon tea takes time. It suits an afternoon with visitors, a birthday, and anyone who wants to sit somewhere with a different tempo from the shopping street outside.
