Sonny's Rådhusstræde cafe is a bright central Copenhagen stop for La Cabra coffee, breakfast, lunch, and a small backyard just off Nytorv. It is compact rather than formal, so the best visit is a coffee and something to eat, not a drawn-out tasting session.
Sonny has three Copenhagen-area cafes: Rådhusstræde 5, Frederiksberg Allé 12 and Østerbrogade 56. This review focuses on the central Rådhusstræde room and its small backyard.
Coffee
Sonny serves La Cabra coffee, including a house blend and rotating coffees. Espresso and batch brew accompany breakfast and lunch.
Filter
Batch brew gives you a black-coffee option alongside espresso and milk drinks. Ask which coffee is being brewed if you want to try something different from the house blend.
Food
Sonny makes breakfast and lunch, with cakes from its micro-bakery, salads and rugbrød sandwiches. The compact kitchen serves a seasonal daytime menu.
Service & Room
Service feels local and unfussy rather than performative. The room works best as a daytime stop for breakfast or lunch, with enough warmth to invite a second coffee and enough pressure around peak hours to make a reservation sensible. It is strongest when the weather is good and the backyard earns its keep.
Why Filter Notes shortlisted Sonny
Sonny combines specialty coffee, breakfast and lunch in central Copenhagen. Rådhusstræde is the most convenient branch for the old town, with a small backyard in good weather; Frederiksberg Allé and Østerbrogade offer alternatives farther out.
