Opened in 2016 by Sebastian Quistorff and three-time Danish barista champion Jonas Gehl, Prolog has quickly become one of Denmark’s top coffee roasters. Highly recommended by renowned Copenhagen chefs like Rasmus Munk of Alchemist and Kenneth Foong of Noma, Prolog is celebrated for its exceptional coffee. Beyond coffee, the café also offers baked goods from Juno, a beloved bakery just a short walk away.

Prolog has two locations in Copenhagen: one in the vibrant Meatpacking District and another on Randersgade. I visited the Randersgade branch, which is smaller but equally charming compared to the larger Meatpacking location.

The café is bright and cozy, featuring a classic Scandinavian design. The baristas were friendly and welcoming. I ordered a flat white and a cardamom bun—the coffee was strong and robust with a higher acidity, while the bun was soft and flavorful.
