The Pond is a queer bookstore and café in Copenhagen's Nørrebro district, run as a community space for LGBTQIA+ people and their allies. The shop sells a curated selection of books alongside coffee and drinks, with a storefront on Poppelgade and display windows facing the street.
Alongside browsing and coffee, The Pond runs a busy events calendar: book clubs, a Danish-language café for practising the language, a trans café, an ace/aro+ café, co-working sessions for queer entrepreneurs, craft and collage evenings, a social-deduction game night, and a poetry evening centred on sapphic writing. The programme leans toward low-key, recurring gatherings rather than one-off parties.
It calls itself Copenhagen's new home for queer community and book lovers, and describes the space as somewhere to explore queer voices, get cozy and hang out, open to allies as well as to LGBTQIA+ visitors.
