Coffee Collective is the best specialty coffee roaster in Copenhagen, with several locations across the city. The original is in Jægersborggade in Nørrebro. The coffee here is taken seriously in the best sense — beans sourced directly from farms, roasted to maximise flavour rather than to a standard profile, and brewed with care. It was one of the pioneers of Scandinavian specialty coffee, which became one of the most influential styles in global coffee culture.
Order a flat white or an espresso rather than flavoured drinks — the quality speaks for itself. The Jægersborggade location doubles as a coffee shop in a pleasant neighbourhood that is worth exploring: independent restaurants, a good wine bar, and the kind of street life that Nørrebro does well. Other branches at Torvehallerne market and Godthåbsvej.
