Risteriet

Best coffee so far in Copenhagen, delicious food (which they can warm for you) and yogurts. Best place to start your day. Price *very good* too.

Update: FOREIGNERS ARE CHARGED HIGHER PRICES. If you pay with a non-Danish bank card, you'll be charged 3.75% extra. Unacceptable discrimination! Further troubling - The café requires you to pay to use the toilet ("toilet for paying customers only"). We've been coming here regularly, but we can't condone such a policy. Allowing people to use the toilet is a basic human courtesy! Twenty years ago, Risteriet brought quality coffee to Denmark, and they've kept doing so since. This humble coffee shop, located in the cozy basement in a gritty neighborhood near the central train station, features some of the best American coffee beans this side of the Atlantic. The offerings are diverse, including beans from Honduras, Peru, Colombia, and elsewhere on the continent. We appreciate that they keep prices reasonable, making good coffee affordable to the masses (about €3/$3/DKK 20 per 100g/3.5oz of roasted beans). And since the beans are loose, you can buy as little as 25 g, just to start. While the quality of the baristas is mixed (and so is their friendliness), the company offers home delivery service, which brings delicious beans to those who can't travel to their coffee shop in Copenhagen. Keep up the good work!

Lovely little place for breakfast and a coffee. Very close to our hotel. Packed out with locals and visitors alike. It’s quite small so worth checking if they have a seat before you order if you want to eat in. I got the breakfast plate and added an egg on. The egg was a little less runny than I’d like but all in all, was good and great value. Perfect breakfast before a big day of sight seeing in the Copenhagen autumn (rain).

Went here because it was near my hotel. Did not expect to have the best chocolate croissant I've had in years, maybe ever. Filling was just right, and texture was perfect. Every pain au chocolate I've had since is now compared to this one and none have beaten it yet.

If you are looking for a place to have a good breakfast at a relatively affordable price this is it! Despite the time you wait for your food (we went on saturday morning and waited around half an hour), the food you eat pays off, the homemade bread is soooo tasty! We ordered the morning plate and paid around 100DKK and it included a small coffee. They also have oat milk or lactose free milk for the ones who need it. The place is neat and the service is lovely as well.
