Cafe line-up

Today you can taste the ever creamy and delicate Desarollo on Godthåbsvej. The Colombian coffee is grown in the renowned coffee region, Huila. Farmers of this area focus on using different vegetation and trees that provide shadow for the coffee berries. This gives a slowly maturation, so the coffee can develop those sweet and acidic flavours which we seek in our coffee. We have roasted this coffee light, so the elegant and fruity notes really get highlighted.

The Coffee Collective was founded in 2007 with a focus on ethical coffee trading, sustainability and creating the best coffee experiences in the world.

Their coffees are roasted daily and served both in-store as well as to wholesale customers.

In addition, they have also won several awards, including gold in both the World Barista Championship and World Cup Tasting Championships.

This gives an intense flavour to the cold delight. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ As a final touch, we sprinkle with nibs of freshly ground coffee, giving small sparks of crunchy sweet flavour. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Available in 3 of our coffee shops! Enjoy the Coffee Softice at our shops on Jægersborggade, Torvehallerne and Bernikow.
