Welcome to Den Hemmelige Café, a hidden gem nestled in the charming streets of Ærøskøbing at Vestergade 45. This delightful café transcends the ordinary coffee shop experience, offering not just beverages but a warm atmosphere infused with local culture and kindness.

As you step inside, you're enveloped by the scent of freshly baked goods and rich coffee. The café's cozy ambiance invites you to linger, making it an ideal spot for both a quick coffee break and a leisurely breakfast or lunch with loved ones. The owner, known for her genuine warmth, ensures every guest feels at home, creating an inviting space where visitors can unwind.

Den Hemmelige Café boasts a variety of offerings, but their cakes truly steal the show. From the light and fluffy cheesecake adorned with succulent strawberries to the invitingly moist carrot cake, each slice promises an explosion of flavor. As Nicholas Gatoura noted, even those hesitant about cheesecake have been won over by its dazzling taste. And the delightful pancake served here has earned a special mention from Kelvin Anggara, who enjoyed a sweet treat during his exploration of Ærø.

Nadya Hasanah highlighted the exceptional cake selection and noted the possibility of enjoying a sunny afternoon in the café's quaint backyard, perfect for al fresco dining during the warmer months.

What truly sets Den Hemmelige Café apart is its personalized service. The café recently stood as a beacon of support for Thomas Lowther and his partner, who required a last-minute wedding cake. The owner’s commitment to going above and beyond speaks volumes about the heart and dedication that pulsates through this establishment.

With reviews echoing the sentiments of delight and satisfaction, Otto Nielsen encapsulated the essence of the café when he said, “Yes. Yes. Yes.

Stopped here with my Fiance who does not like cheesecake normally. The cheesecake here is fantastic and the owner is very kind and understand. Would recommend.

A very cute little cafe. The owner is very kind and lovely. The cake selection is superb. I get to try one Danish speciality there. You can also find small souvenirs to bring back home. I saw there is a backyard that would probably open in summer and be a nice place to sit and enjoy the weather.

Found this cozy place during our walk at Aero. Great pancake and we were hosted by the very kind owner

We stopped here for lunch and everything was great. What really left an impression, however, was that she baked an emergency wedding cake for us within a couple of hours after another venue in town let us down after an apparent communication error. She really went above and beyond and if that doesn’t deserve a five star review, I don’t know what does. Thank you!
