Coffee...ss

I've been trying out Copenhagen's coffees. First there is the Nordea coffee with old but still well maintained interior déco and nice coffee but slightly on the pricy side DKK45 for cappucino. Then there's Europa coffee (where a regular cup of black coffee costs DKK42) which is also pricy and tasted so-so to me despite they won the World Barista Championship (yes, there really is such championship).

I'll probably give Europa coffee a try on their cappuccino but, my search continues and I found the right coffee that suits my taste which, to my advantage, not (so) pricy -- Estate Coffee.


Though the place is not exactly 'atmospheric' (not beautifully designed & slightly noisy at some moments), Estate Coffee serves some outrageously tasty coffee and chocolate delicacies (I still miss the chocolate brownies). Pick up your own coffee or have it deliver to you? Absolutely your choice. Though the friendly staffs there will most probably deliver it to your table after they make your coffee, fresh.

With big round windows facing Gammel Kongevej, diagonal to the Planetorium, the coffee shop is also a prime place for people-watching. Would be nice to sit outside in the summer. Next year it is.

My order was cappucino (and get a fantastic coffee taste bud experience) & my friend got a double shot cortado (which is reviewed to be a must with its round and fulfilling taste, complimented by just the right hint of bitterness). If you’re not in the mood for coffee, you can always try one of their teas or order yourself a rich hot chocolate.

Estate Coffee is one of the fair trade shop where they obtain the their coffees directly from single coffee farm. http://www.estatecoffee.dk/english/about-estate-coffee/ Honestly, I only care about quality of the coffee (which is well delivered) in Estate Coffee ;) If you ever visit Copenhagen & looking for a palce to take a sip of coffee, Estate Coffee should definitely be considered.

I love how they put a design in the foam on top of the coffee!
