The story of Original Coffee began back in 2010, when childhood friends Nikolaj and Philip set out on their bicycles to offer coffee to the Copenhagen population. We started as "Rolling Coffee", but in 2012 we made a decision to change the company's name to "Original Coffee" with the subtitle "Brewed by Friends". Over time, we have undergone considerable growth and now count 15 coffee bars spread all over Copenhagen. In addition to these coffee bars, we have also entered into a collaboration with Tivoli, where you can now find 3 Original Coffee coffee stands in the theme park. At Original Coffee, coffee and good service are a top priority, which means well-trained baristas who are committed to guiding and delivering the extraordinary coffee experience to our guests. In line with making the visit to one of our coffee bars more unique for the individual guest, in 2022 we bought an old butchery location located in Kødbyen, which we converted into a bakery. This bakery now acts as a daily supplier of freshly baked bread and high quality pastries to our 18 coffee shops. As an extension of our coffee shops, we also run an online webshop where we offer equipment, coffee beans and options for coffee subscriptions. In doing so, we meet our goal of delivering an exceptional coffee experi
