Typical, fancy Vesterbro breakfast café with coffee-making equipment for sale on the shelves and a raw, minimalistic aesthetic. Friendly staff and a decent breakfast plate for the price, although the eggs were under-cooked.

Excellent local coffee/breakfast bar for a simple but delicious starter of the day! Thumbs up for the hospitable and kind service Recommendation: the breakfast menu is one small but full plate with everything you need to start the day and a freshly grinded cappuccino or latte to accompany your kickstarter meal.

Great coffee. Great vibe. Pastries are excellent. If you are near the train station and in the area of the Meat Packing District or Tivoli Gardens make the trip. Note-watch the step as you open the door!

Loved the vibe. Great for coffee and a light breakfast! Came here since it was a block away from our hotel and had the breakfast platter. It was very filling. The latte was served in a little expresso glass which I thought was interesting. Bread and cheese were fresh and I liked the little yogurt with nuts and the jam. Would definitely be back!

Good olé coffee with small cozy friendly atmosphere. Small outdoor sitting area with young hipster crowds. Great little isle away from all the tourists and business. Small menus with few sandwich and breakfast food. Full espresso bar, moderately priced. Definitely recommend this place for everyone who is craving for the morning jumpstart!

We went here on a cold afternoon, looking for something warm and we obviously figured this place out thanks to Unilocal app. The place is low on the basement level, on the side street of Halmtorvet. We had warm chocolate each that was good, very thick and frothy albeit a little too sweet for me. We didn’t try the coffee which was bad, because obviously it’s their specialty — duh — maybe next time. I notice that they sell also coffee beans and coffee makers /accessories, being a Risteriet and all.

Friendly staff, good coffee, awesome pastry! What’s not to like! The pastry was just so soft and yummy

The coffee was good, but the breakfast plate of bread, cheese, and charcuterie was even better! The bread is baked fresh in the café, and it is dense, crusty, soft, and wonderful. The charcuterie included both prosciutto and chorizo, and the cheese was some kind of cheddar relation – all delicious. Add in free wi-fi and the ability to use any credit card, and Risteriet Halmtorvet was my favorite breakfast in Copenhagen.

Great service, coffee and food. Highly recommend. Great value where often style over substance is the norm.

Bevor das große Sightseeing losgehen konnte waren wir an unserem ersten Tag in Kopenhagen auf der Suche nach einem guten Frühstück. Gesucht– gefunden. Das Risteriet Halmtorvet befindet sich in einem Wohngebiet nahe des Meatpacking Districts. Die Größe des Cafés ist überschaubar. Wir konnten uns einen Platz am Fenster sichern. Bestellt wird dann am Thresen. Neben sehr gutem Kaffee, gab es dunkles Brot, schmackhaften Käse, Croissants und Müsli mit Joghurt. Bis wir alles hatten, ist ein wenig Zeit vergangen. Aber was soll’s? Die Kellner waren freundlich, die Atmosphäre gemütlich und wir am Ende gut gestärkt für den Tag. Ziel erreicht.

Bei unserem zweitägigen Kopenhagen Trip haben wir jeden Morgen im Risteriet gegessen, denn es ist wirklich sehr lecker. Man muss sich allerdings auf etwas längere Wartezeiten einstellen, denn es ist oft voll und die Bedienungen, die auch das Essen machen, lassen sich nicht aus der Ruhe bringen. Wir haben mehrere Croissants gegessen(sehr empfehlenswert) und besonders gut ist der Kaffee dort. Also: ein Besuch in diesem niedlichen Café lohnt sich auf jeden Fall!

Good stuff but bad service for the price one pays. Completely understaffed. Waiting 25′ for a granola yoghurt while the coffee gets cold is not fine.

Great. Everything a coffee house should be. I read someone’s review that it’s «the best coffee in Copenhagen.» It’s the first place I’ve been here, but I’m compelled to say they are correct. The bread, cheese, and meat board is the absolute perfect way to start the day. I got it with their fresh baked buns, FANTASTIC.

I think it’s safe to say that these guys make the best coffee in Copenhagen! We had breakfast here twice on our 3 day stay and the service was warm and friendly, the ‘morning plate’ good value for money and so so yummy. They do have free wifi which works really well and a couple of tables outside to enjoy your morning brew in the sunshine. Couldn’t fault it so 5 solid stars. Tak!

Love this place! I go there to study, because I live really close to it. Also the coffee has impressed everyone who tasted it! Totally recommend going there!

Dropped off my bags at Central Station and was looking for a nice little place to have a traditional Danish breakfast. Oh, thanks Unilocal for this recommendation — i found Risteriet and couldn’t have been better. I arrived really early, and the place only had a table with a couple of teenagers. I ordered a combo that came with three slices of bread, cheese, marmalade, some granola and you could choose a hot drink. I tried to order the whole thing in a broken Danish, and obviously didn’t work but the lady was really nice and without laughing understood my ordered and helped me out. Coffee was good, the ambience is quite comfy and they have free WiFi. Would totally recommend you comer here for a cup of nice coffee or to hang out reading a book.

An average cute café near the meat packing district. There is free wifi so you can find some loners at the window tables on their computers. On the bad side, the café does not have so many tables so be prepared for waiting for one or for squeezing in with others. The interior is quite rustic, which I liked. The walls are from bricks and there are small black lamps on top of every table. The coffee and warm chocolate that we had were good but again, I am not a coffee expert. I liked the music which was chilling and relaxing in the background. There was a good atmosphere in this café although it is halfway under the street level. The service was very friendly and fast and it seemed like a popular café on a Sunday afternoon. If you re in the area it’s a good café to spend few hours at, but I don’t think I would travel from another part of the city just to go there.

This small slice of heaven was just a block from our hotel, which is a couple of blocks from the main train station. What a find! The nice young man made us a delicious ‘mini breakfast’ that includes juice, an espresso drink, yogurt and a croissant with spectacular raspberry jam. We had to wait a couple of minutes for the croissants to come out of the oven. No problem! The warm, crusty delights made this the best breakfast we had in our three weeks in Europe. Highly recommend.

This café and roastery offer the best espresso in CPN that I have found. RH also bake their own bread(flour provided by the illustrious and industrious danish chef, Claus Meyer) and serve it with meat and cheese in the mornings, or warm it up and serve it panini-style for lunch. The location is both a draw and detraction. Like Janice C., the hubs and I only had to travel a block from our hotel for a cuppa and some grub. This place is a boon for those staying and living in the area. There are a few shelters in the vicinity that help those in need, and, while that is a GREAT thing, it also meant that we were privy to a few scenes of very upsetting street behavior. A few of the kids there were really super friendly and handled our out-of-towner questions with aplomb. In addition to selling beans, R.H. sell a decent selection of coffee accoutrement for those that like to brew at home. Free WiFi

A wonderful micro roaster in Copenhagen located in the Vesterbro neighborhood, this café was a block away from my hotel(and conveniently close to Kobenhavn central station) so I decided to pop in one morning to sample their coffee. Well, let’s just say that I came back to this coffee shop 3 days in a row. I’m not a coffee drinker at all, but Scandinavia has totally messed up my sleeping schedule. With only 2 hours of sleep, I got a café americano(automatically comes with 2 shots of espresso so make sure to ask for only one if you’re not used to caffeine like I am). Coffee beans are ground fresh and they make sure everything is done properly. Grab a Danish pastry(or in Copenhagen they call it «French», poking fun at the French people) to go with your cup and you’d be ready to tackle the day. I really loved the warm smiles of the baristas here(specifically Fie the manager) and felt very welcomed. They also have free wifi with lots of seating inside the shop. Drinks start at 20DKK. If you feel like you need caffeine to be injected intravenously, I recommend the Red Eye: 2 shots of espresso AND2 cups of coffee served in a tall glass. All you self proclaimed java addicts will be walking out of here with your tail between your legs after you finish this … that or you’ll be ordering the«Crybaby». Come here and find out what that is.

This is at your own risk. It might just change your whole outlook on coffee… and life, so be careful as you enter this world of pure coffee. There is no going back to mediocre coffee after this one, in fact your life will be a bit more complicated.
