NOJE Bakery & Specialty Coffee

The self serve pastry counter at NOJE bakery with a staff member arranging fresh bread

NOJE opened inspired by a trip to Copenhagen, and the Nordic self serve model shows in the self pick pastry counter that greets visitors before they reach the coffee bar. Cardamom buns and croissants get baked throughout the day, the flat white and the sunny terrace good reasons to linger rather than take away.

The room reads as one of the friendlier, more relaxed stops in the neighborhood, dog friendly with plenty of outdoor seating under direct sun. It closes on Mondays, the one day the ovens rest between a steady run the rest of the week.
