# Specialty coffee in Østerbro Østerbro, north of the lakes, is quieter and residential. Kontra roasts and pours on Dag Hammarskjölds Allé at the end of the lakes, Coffee Collective has a bar at Trianglen, Prolog has one on Randersgade and GITZ roasts in the middle of the neighbourhood on Landskronagade. ## The shops 1. [Coffee Collective Jægersborggade](https://goodcoffeein.com/copenhagen/coffee-collective-j-gersborggade.md) (Nørrebro · Must-try). Coffee Collective opened its first shop on Jægersborggade in 2008, and this small Nørrebro room is still the place to start. It roasts everything itself, buys directly from farmers and publishes what it paid for each coffee. Expect light, clean roasts with fruit and floral notes, and ask what is on filter today. The roastery runs coffee and roasting courses, and during World of Coffee 2024 it held meet-the-producer cuppings. Six more bars are spread across the city, including one in the Torvehallerne market and one in a former bodega on Kristen Bernikows Gade. 2. [Prolog Coffee Bar Meatpacking District](https://goodcoffeein.com/copenhagen/prolog-coffee-bar-meatpacking-district.md) (Vesterbro · Must-try). Sebastian Quistorff and Jonas Gehl opened Prolog in 2016 as a narrow bar in Kødbyen, the old meatpacking district, and it has grown into a roastery with four bars. The original keeps a few seats inside and a couple of tables outside, and on sunny days people sit on the pavement. The menu is mostly light-roasted single origins, served as espresso, filter or V60 pour-over. For a different room, the Papirøen bar sits in a glass building on the harbour, with high ceilings, wood and views toward Nyhavn. The other two bars are on Randersgade in Østerbro and on Marguerite Vibys Plads in Frederiksberg. 3. [Kontra Coffee](https://goodcoffeein.com/copenhagen/kontra-coffee.md) (Østerbro · Good). Kontra is a Copenhagen roaster with its coffee house on Dag Hammarskjölds Allé in Østerbro, at the end of the lakes. It roasts its own coffees, including light roasts such as a natural Guji Daanisa and a washed Shakiso from Ethiopia, and it runs coffee courses. It also sells espresso machines and grinders with its own service technicians. Barista Magazine rates the beans as good quality at fair prices. 4. [GITZ Coffee](https://goodcoffeein.com/copenhagen/gitz-coffee.md) (Østerbro · Good). GITZ Coffee is a café and roastery in the middle of Østerbro, on Landskronagade. It roasts small batches in light, medium and dark profiles, from origins such as Brazil, Kenya, Colombia and Tanzania, and brews them as espresso, filter or pour-over.
