COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Joe & The Juice cements its lead with a strong presence in strategic locations
Joe & The Juice A/S was the leading company in cafés and bars in 2025 in terms of foodservice value share. Its dense presence in high-traffic locations such as city centres, stations and shopping areas has allowed the chain to capture a steady flow of everyday purchases, particularly coffee, juice and light meals.
Original Coffee successfully meeting the needs of modern Danes
Original Coffee ApS was one of the most dynamic companies within cafés/bars in 2025. The chain benefited from a strong local presence in Copenhagen, where its small-format cafés are well integrated into everyday routines such as commuting, studying and working remotely.
Independent operators remain the preferred choice of locals
Independent foodservice operators held the largest share in terms of foodservice value sales within cafés/bars in 2025. The category remains highly fragmented, with a large number of small, locally-owned cafés and bars that are deeply embedded in neighbourhood life and everyday routines.
