Coffee on Simon Spies Plads · Svingelport 3
View menuA coffee shop in a building with almost 350 years of history
Lagoni Kaffebar is at Svingelport 3, in the heart of Helsingør’s old town. The building is recorded as dating from 1690 and has been part of the town’s living history for centuries.
Svingelport was one of the gateways to old Helsingør, where people and goods passed in and out of town. Locals, travellers and merchants met here, and hospitality was part of this place long before the first Lagoni coffee was brewed.
Today, that story continues as Lagoni Kaffebar, with good coffee, good people and a special atmosphere in a historic setting.

A cosy café in Helsingør’s old town
You’ll find Lagoni Kaffebar at Svingelport 3 on Simon Spies Plads, a few minutes’ walk from Helsingør Station and the ferries to Helsingborg. There is seating indoors and in our sheltered courtyard, where you can settle in with a coffee and a board game.
Every Saturday from April to September, there is a flea market on the square just outside. That makes Saturday mornings the café’s busiest and liveliest time of the week. Many of our guests come from Sweden, taking the ferry over for a day in Helsingør.
Welcome to Lagoni Kaffebar! We love welcoming visitors from Sweden. Find us at Svingelport 3 on Simon Spies Plads in Helsingør, just a few minutes’ walk from the ferry. Read more in Swedish.
We use organic ingredients in our coffee and cakes, and the café has an elite smiley from the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration, under inspection report no. 961299. You’re always welcome to stay a little longer than you planned.
Michael Lagoni, owner and barista
Lagoni Kaffebar is run by Michael Lagoni, who has more than 16 years of experience with coffee and mobile coffee bars. You’ll find him behind the counter, and he runs Lagoni Kaffe ApS (Danish company registration no. 41294256), which also operates our five mobile coffee units. The family is also behind our sister café Lagoni & Co. at Ryesgade 76 in Copenhagen’s Østerbro district, which operates as a separate company.
Michael is also a member of Helsingør City Council and its Climate and Sustainability Committee. His involvement in the local community is part of his life beyond the coffee bar. See Michael Lagoni on Helsingør Municipality’s official list of councillors.
The café has an elite smiley from the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration. You can read the public inspection report at findsmiley.dk, report no. 961299. We care about the quality of both our ingredients and the way we prepare them.
Coffee, tea and organic ingredients
We serve our coffee hot, with the right grind and extraction time, and prepare our tea at the right water temperature with just the right steeping time. They may sound like small details, but they make the difference between a cup you drink and a cup you remember.
We use organic dairy milk and offer soya and oat milk for your coffee. Our croissants are freshly baked. The menu includes coffee and tea, milkshakes, slush drinks and frappés, brunch, sandwiches and cakes, including gluten-free and vegan cakes. Prices range from around DKK 20 for a hot drink to DKK 139 for our largest dishes.
There are six layers between the red cherry on the coffee plant and the green bean we roast. We’ve illustrated the whole journey, from cherry to cup.
