Danish Starbucks

In late September I flew through Copenhagen, where I had a chance to try out the first Starbucks in Scandinavia -- outside the secure zone in Kastrup Airport. You can see a large photo of the Danish-language menu here:

On December 11th I found myself again flying through Copenhagen, and wanted to see if they'd completed construction on the second Starbucks in the region, which was inside the secure ticketing area at Kastrup. Tragically I discovered the new branch was scheduled to open the 12th, one day after my flight -- but that they were conducting a "soft launch" for airport employees that very day. I somehow talked my way into the store, still behind construction barricades, by telling the manager I was from Seattle.

Kastrup Starbucks #2

As an extra bonus, all orders were free (!) that day, making this simultaneously the best deal I've ever gotten at Starbucks and in Denmark as a whole as well.
