Noma coffee bar has opened as a permanent “flavour shop” in the greenhouse in front of the three‑Michelin‑star restaurant at Refshaleøen in Copenhagen, with first service on 14 October 2025 and a first full weekend on 18–19 October.
The space offers Noma Kaffe alongside the pantry line from Noma Projects, extending the restaurant’s research‑driven approach beyond the dining room to a wider public.
Why a shop now: Noma Projects and the coffee programme
The flavour shop is part of Noma Projects, the venture created to share the restaurant’s test‑kitchen innovations with home cooks. It brings together fermented condiments, vinegars and seasonal staples with the Noma Kaffe programme, developed in recent years to showcase single‑origin filter roasts and the restaurant’s exacting brewing methods. The aim is to translate two decades of R&D into everyday retail without losing the laboratory spirit of the kitchen.
Opening hours and location in the Noma greenhouse
The shop sits inside one of the greenhouses facing the main entrance at Refshalevej 96, 1432 Copenhagen K. It is open Tuesday to Sunday, with daytime service for coffee and retail. Local coverage indicates opening hours in the 10:00–18:00 range; Noma’s own announcement lists 10:00–17:00, reflecting possible seasonal adjustments. Visitors can taste products on site and take them home.
Design and concept: from lab aesthetics to everyday retail
The compact greenhouse—repurposed from the arrival area used by diners—has been redesigned to evoke the restaurant’s lab‑like precision while remaining informal. Materials and fittings favour Danish craft and a restrained palette, aligning with the restaurant’s broader ethos of natural materials, reuse and experimentation.ù
The layout encourages browsing rather than a traditional café counter experience, with seating integrated among product displays.
What’s on the shelves: Noma Kaffe and fermentation‑led staples
Alongside espresso‑free filter brews from Noma Kaffe, shelves carry small‑batch pantry items from Noma Projects: garums, seasoned oils, vinegars, sauces, pickles and limited releases tied to the test kitchen’s foraging and fermentation work. Books and selected merchandise round out the offer, aimed at visitors, locals and industry professionals.
A new public face for Noma
The opening strengthens Noma’s public‑facing footprint at a time when the restaurant’s team is investing in projects, residencies and R&D beyond formal tasting‑menu service. For Copenhagen’s food scene, the shop provides a permanent, accessible entry point to techniques that have shaped New Nordic cuisine, while adding a coffee destination in the Refshaleøen area.
