The Mill Café
Local seasonal produce on your plate
The sweetness of the apple pie comes from the variety hanging outside the window. Take a seat in the sunny café courtyard and enjoy the apple orchard, or find a cozy nook inside the Mill Café. Here you can satisfy your hunger in an eatery run as a social economy business.

A socio-economic eatery
Møllecaféen is run by the social economy company Fonden Kilden, which helps young people and citizens with special needs.
Imagine a place where no one has to struggle with being different. A place where everyone is seen as a whole person with more opportunities than challenges. Such a place is Kilden. Through education and employment, young people develop in a way that turns special needs into special skills of the kind that businesses can use.
In Kilden’s kitchen program, students and staff help out in the Mill Café, and you will definitely meet them behind the counter. The green line grows herbs and crops that are also used in the Mill Café.
A human cause
It is no coincidence that Møllecaféen has a social enterprise profile. Esrum Abbey & Møllegård has a long tradition of helping people move forward in life: Before the buildings were restored in the late 1990s and opened to the public, they had been home to many different people. The monastery has not only housed monks, royalty, and colonels’ wives; it has also served as a children’s home, a county office, a nature school, and a post office. And before that, for 400 years, the monks of the Middle Ages prayed for all of humanity.
