coffee
 

If you are in dire need of some caffeine the following morning, here are some places that should could? sharpen you up.

hot chocolate

If you don't drink coffee don't worry you're in for a special treat. I maintain that I had the yummiest hot chocolate I've ever had in Copenhagen. It came out as mug of hot milk with a wooden stick with a large block of milk and dark chocolate on it which melted as you stirred it in. I could not find the exact place we discovered on Google but this link will give you an idea of what I mean: (http://www.pbchokolade.dk).
