Noma Projects Flavor Shop sits in the greenhouse at Refshalevej 96, on Refshaleøen, the former industrial island east of central Copenhagen where Noma built its garden, lab, and restaurant campus. The room is small and deliberate: glass around the garden, a long display table, stone and brushed metal surfaces, pantry jars, coffee bags, and a counter that turns the Noma universe into something you can enter without a dinner reservation.
The reason to go is not that it behaves like Copenhagen's classic neighbourhood coffee bars. It does not. This is a public-facing Noma Projects room where Noma Kaffe, fermentation-led pantry products, and design all carry the visit together. Plan it as a Refshaleøen detour for coffee and browsing, not as a quick central-city caffeine stop.
Coffee
Noma Kaffe is the shop’s coffee programme. Noma Kaffe launched as a separate coffee project in 2025 after years of restaurant coffee work, and the beans are sourced through direct producer relationships, roasted by the Noma team in Copenhagen, and framed around filter brewing rather than a standard cafe menu. The shop gives that work a public counter.
The best order is a warm cup of Noma Kaffe first, then a look at the current bags and products. The coffee is roasted by the Noma team, with beans available to buy alongside brewed cups. It will appeal most to visitors who enjoy coffee as an ingredient-led project, not just as a daily routine.
Filter
Filter is the lane to watch. Noma Kaffe's own brew guidance centres on V60, French press, and the Nomacano, a hybrid method developed for the restaurant, and the subscription is built around two distinct 250g coffees each month. That makes the shop stronger for brewed coffee and beans than for someone chasing a classic espresso-bar rhythm.
There is a tradeoff in that framing. You are not walking into a broad multi-roaster room with a long bench of guest coffees; you are entering a single culinary group's coffee project. The selection comes from Noma’s own coffee project. The downside is that the visit can feel more like tasting Noma's coffee direction than comparing Copenhagen's wider coffee scene.
Food
Food here means pantry rather than brunch. The shelves carry the Noma Projects world: garums, hot sauces, pralines, vinegars, dashi, cookbooks, and the kind of fermented or preserved flavours that made the brand's retail arm possible. You can browse the pantry products while drinking coffee and buy jars or bottles to take home.
Do not plan this as a meal stop unless a specific event is running. The stronger move is coffee, a slow look through the shop, and perhaps something to take home. If you want a classic Copenhagen pastry-and-table morning, the city has better fits; if you want coffee inside Noma's public pantry, this is the address.
Service & Room
The room is the memorable part. The shop occupies a renovated 72-square-metre greenhouse, with glass walls facing the garden. Bornholm granite, burnt brick, brushed aluminium, glass jars, pendant lighting, and the view back toward Noma give the visit a sharp material identity.
Refshaleøen changes the practical read. The shop is east of the main tourist core, near the harbour-edge cultural and dining cluster rather than on a casual shopping street, so it works best when you are already building a route around the island, Copenhagen Contemporary, or a Noma-adjacent pilgrimage. The shop opens daily from 10am to 6pm, but coffee service finishes at 4:30pm. Arrive earlier if a cup of Noma Kaffe is the reason for coming.
