Aurora 

All summer long, you’ll find Aurora’s pop-up ice cream shop outside Magasin—right as you come up the stairs from the Metro at Kongens Nytorv.

Aurora also has ice cream shops in Carlsberg City and on Papirøen, and no matter which shop you visit, you’ll get ice cream of the very highest quality. The focus here is on high-quality milk, authentic ingredients, the ice cream’s texture, and the perfect temperature, so the flavor comes through as vividly as possible.

Look forward to simple, pure flavors such as raspberry, hazelnut, lemon, passion fruit, and cardamom.

Gelato Lab

If you’ve been eating ice cream all summer and are ready to try something new, get off the Copenhagen Metro at Aksel Møllers Have and pop into Gelato Lab.

This small ice cream shop takes a more modern approach to ice cream and offers flavors you won’t find anywhere else. Try, for example, their ice cream with browned butter and rosemary, caramelized figs and licorice, or chocolate and habanero chili.

Confecture Copenhagen

From the Christianshavn metro station, it’s just a few steps to Confecture Copenhagen, which is perhaps best known for its handmade chocolate, but also serves freshly made ice cream in the summer.

The chocolate ice cream is a particular hit, and you can also choose to have your waffle dipped in melted chocolate.

The shop is right on the Christianshavn canal, so it’s the perfect spot to enjoy your ice cream by the water.

Peter Beier 

Peter Beier has stores all over Copenhagen. If you want to get there quickly, just take the Metro to Frederiksberg, where ice-cold treats await you at the store in FRB.C.

After all, Peter Beier isn’t just a world champion at making chocolate. They also make ice cream with the same passion for fine craftsmanship—offering everything from classic vanilla to more exotic flavors like “Peter’s Kitchen Garden,” “Cream Puff Party,” and “Sinful Caramel.”

Psst: Be sure to try their waffles, too—they’re perfectly crispy and homemade.

Sicilian Ice Cream

If you love gelato, you don’t have to travel to Italy. Just take the Metro to Skjolds Plads and stop by Siciliansk Is, that makes authentic Sicilian gelato.

All of their gelato flavors are organic, and the selection changes every day—ranging from classic flavors like chocolate and pistachio to more exotic varieties like Zuppa Inglese, blackberry, and mandarin.

And the best part? You can choose up to three different flavors in a single scoop.
