Growing up in New York City, Bed Stuy native Jesus Caicedo had always dreamt of running his own café — particularly one that he could build off of his Colombian roots. Little did he know that a journey to Europe and an introduction to all things Copenhagen would serve as the ultimate catalyst in making his dreams turn true.
Now, Caicedo’s dream café — Skål — is a reality, occupying a prominent spot in the heart of Bed Stuy and quickly becoming a neighborhood favorite. #DenmarkInNY recently caught up with Caicedo at Skål’s Lewis Avenue location for a delicious spread of sumptuous bites (including Koldskål!) and a conversation on how Skål came about.
