Original Coffee Christianshavn

Tilted windows look out onto the canal and across to the spire of Vor Frelsers Kirke, which is most of the reason to choose this branch over another. Original Coffee’s Christianshavn room calls itself a kaffebar ved kanalen, a coffee bar by the canal, and it keeps the offer simple: specialty coffee and bagværk, with organic pastries in the case.

Coffee and organic pastries

The food story is compact and clear. Specialty coffee pairs with baked goods, and the pastries are organic, which is the specific quality signal here rather than a long list of named bakes.

Read it as pastry-led and coffee-adjacent. Pick from what is in the case that morning and put it next to whatever the bar is pouring. That is the whole shape of the visit, and the branch is better for it than it would be with a wider kitchen behind the counter.

The canal-side room

The setting is the strongest part of this branch’s profile. The canal is directly outside, the church spire sits in the sightline, and the tilted windows frame both, which gives the room a sense of place tied to Christianshavn’s water and old-neighbourhood geometry.

That makes it more than a neutral cup stop. It is set up for daytime use, either a pause by the window or a coffee carried out and drunk while walking on through the neighbourhood. Original Coffee runs several rooms across Copenhagen, and this is the one distinguished by where it sits rather than by what it adds to the menu.

Order a coffee and a pastry

The most grounded order is a straightforward coffee from the bar with bagværk or an organic pastry beside it. That is what this counter is built to do well, and it is the version of the branch worth planning around.

The distinction is specific rather than technical: specialty coffee, organic pastries, tilted windows, the spire of Vor Frelsers Kirke, and the canal below them. It is a room chosen for where it sits as much as for what it pours.
