Royal Copenhagen Ice-cream

This place has been here since I was a kid, our favourite stop after a swim at the beach. The sweet smell of the freshly cooked waffle cones wafts down the street getting stronger as you approach the store. Flavours to try are maple and macadamia, mango, strawberry or devil’s chocolate.
