Cafe Vaabengaard – Experience Cosy Charm by Gilleleje Harbour

Craftsmanship and Local Ingredients

Cafe Vaabengaard prides itself on using quality ingredients and craftsmanship. As a member of the Taste of North Zealand network, the cafe collaborates with local producers, which is reflected in the menu’s focus on quality foods.

You can enjoy homemade rye bread and freshly roasted coffee from Strandvejsristeriet. Alongside your coffee, try homemade pastries or specialities like cream puffs from the local chocolate workshop, Jota.

Cosy Atmosphere and Friendly Staff

From the moment you walk in, you’ll be greeted by friendly staff and the owner, who also works in the kitchen to ensure everything is perfect. The cosy interior seats 24-30 guests upstairs, where you can enjoy a beautiful harbour view, and on clear days, you can even spot Sweden’s Kullen Peninsula.

Brunch and Lunch

The cafe’s popular brunch features delights such as charcuterie from Kødsnedkeren and homemade jams. The lunch menu offers local specialities like Gilleleje herring and classics like salade chevre chaud. Gluten-free options are also available to ensure everyone can enjoy a great meal.

Outdoor Charm and Refreshments

When the weather permits, you can relax in the charming courtyard surrounded by flowers, blankets, and lanterns. Enjoy a glass of wine, organic juice, or a cold draft beer from Hornbeer.

Cafe Vaabengaard is the perfect spot to take a break and enjoy a meal with a view of the harbour. Many dishes are also available for takeaway, allowing you to bring a bit of the cosy atmosphere home.
