Darcy Millar was born and educated in London. After travelling in Australia, New Zealand and south-east Asia, he studied English literature at Manchester University. A student exchange took him to Copenhagen University for six months, where he discovered the delights of Scandinavian city life and resolved to make a career as an urbanist, specialising in cycle-friendly planning. While studying for masters degrees in Copenhagen and Malmö, he supported himself by working in a succession of cafés, steadily building his skills and developing a passion for all things coffee. Soon after graduating, he realised that office life was not for him, that he much preferred the buzz of service in a café. He began thinking about setting up his own business, on a modest scale at first – perhaps just a coffee cart. Fast-forward a few years, and he is living that dream as the proprietor of Darcy’s Kaffe in Copenhagen, with two branches, eighteen staff and hundreds (perhaps even thousands) of regular customers, whom he regards as friends.
