Mr. Churros
Waffle with Chocolate
Cinnamon Sugar Churros with Cajeta
Told by a server one day later that it is by law that most of the shopping in Copenhagen closes at 18h00 while restaurants outside of Fast Food establishments are required to stop service by midnight it was just past 20h50 that a visit was paid to Mr. Churros at Nørrebrogade 41, the location passed by several times on bike without notice thanks to ongoing construction luring diners in with a promise of “Lavish Delights made with love.”
Originally opened in January of 2017, the doors unlocked at 12h00 daily and closing at 21h00 Sunday through Wednesday with an extra hour added on weekends, Mr. Churros can best be described as a bare bones operation focused on sweet Street Food favorites from Spain, Belgium and France with straight from the jar toppings including liquid Chocolate, Caramel, Sprinkles and Soft-Serve from a Mix.
Featuring a big mural on one wall, counter against the other and a kitchen at the back, just one server who did not seem amused by the late arrival of three parties only ten minutes before she was to depart, leaving a messy counter and used Oil behind in the fryer behind, it was nonetheless with a flat face that she accepted 30DKK for any of the menu’s three items, the Crepe stone thankfully not required as it had already been powered down but the five people still requesting two Waffles and four orders of Cinnamon Donuts before she could leave.
Playing American pop tunes a little too loud, the feel of the space fairly happy despite the young woman’s sour demeanor, it was after being asked not to take a seat because “I’m closed” that guests stood waiting for her to clip measured pieces of Dough into the fryer while taking to the back where Waffles are made on an Iron not dissimilar to what one may have at home, each item offered with a choice of two toppings though the store was already sold out of Vanilla Ice Cream.
Presumably already putting in a full 9-hours of frying with the Oil, possibly more as the young lady walked out on the heels of her last guest, it was after a few photos were snapped that hurried work was tasted, the unevenly cooked Churros served in a sizable portion well coated in Cinnamon Sugar proving competent if not memorable even with thin Caramel Sauce dripping down their sides while the Waffle was fluffy but flaccid, the lack of a crispy edge noteworthy compared to those found in the shops of Brussels, though Chocolate liberally squeezed from a bottle was not.
