Jacob & the spices — Local services in Copenhagen Municipality

Deres serveringer tager (heldigvis) længere tid at spise end en durumrulle man lige kører ned, men til gengæld kan man slutte af med en god kop kaffe lavet af stedets nye smilende barista og en chokoladekage. Så “ruller” man også videre høj i hatten. En varm...
