The weather in Odense was surprisingly volatile (it seriously rained and got sunny back and forth three times), so I had to find somewhere cozy until things calmed down. Nelle’s apparently a famous local coffee shops that doubles as wine bar comes evening time. I decided to order a dirty chai latte (65DKK) which was rather nice. The chai unfortunately came from powder, however the glass size was very generous. Love the interior design and how calm things are, I could see myself studying or working here if I live around.

Fantastic location. Very cosy place indeed. Good food at a fair price but could be a bit more adventurous. Fantastic service and very detailed knowledge about the inhouse wines. Alexander was the perfect host.

Perfect for a little indulgence and break after exploring Odense's old town. We had a Latte and Mocha. Smooth, velvety and extremely good quality coffee. Lemon and carrot cake really tasty! Thank you
