Parterre

American? You must come here! Great coffee and food.
They have a small offering of breakfast type foods but for us Americans it’s not enough. You would have to order a few things. They have avocado toast, soft boiled eggs and some bread and jam combos.
But the coffee is fantastic! Being a Seattleite I know my cup of joe. If I’m ever back to this part of the hemisphere, I will definitely visit again.

Cosy little caffe half hidden with great quality breakfast and lovely and helpful staff. Great location by the canal as well. A must in Copenhagen.

Popped in here for a coffee by myself on Valentine’s Day 2015. Although it was freezing outside, the venue was warm and inviting.
I didn’t spend long there as I was advised to head to my friends place due to an incident in the city centre.
I’m going back next time I’m in CPH as the coffee was memorable.

Gr8 latte and even have decaf if u want. Super peeps and service. And do try their pastries.

Sieht ein bisschen improvisiert aus. Aber diese lecker und ansprechend zubereiteten Snacks hätten wir nicht erwartet!
Café ist auch sehr lecker.
Nette Bedienung. Empfehlenswert.

I think I’m in love with this place. The cortado I had was perfection… And the food, just the same (perfect)

Loved this gem of a place. It’s a lovely little coffee house with awesome croissant that was being fresh baked as we entered. Ordered rye bread with cheese and jam, was a special Danish treat. Cappuccino was lovely as well. Barista couldn’t have been nicer. My only somewhat complaint is seemed under construction, and as a very small place was a bit messy where all the tools and construction items were.
Will go again before I leave Copenhagen.

Parterre is just the epitome of loveliness, but I dare say, is it closed for construction??? I cycled past it yesterday and it seemed as though there were a renovation occurring. Be warned and check to make sure it’s open before going!
Anyway, if it is open, you must definitely go! Beautifully eclectic tables and chairs in this airy-​looking little shop make for a wonderful morning or afternoon spent with a friend. We didn’t try the food, but the plates being enjoyed by other patrons looked amazing. Beautiful shop in a beautiful setting with beautiful coffee.

Parterre is indeed very, very nice! I visited one November morning with CM Camilla and Anne Marte S. and it seemed like everyone had a good start to their day! Unfortunately for the rest of Copenhagen, we were the only ones who had discovered Parterre this morning. Which meant that we had the charmingly decorated joint to ourselves.
I decided to get the «Christianshavn morgenmad», even though the «Avocacomad» that the others had, indeed did look yummylicious! That’s definitely going to be my choice the next time I visit. And it must surely be a next time, because Parterre was too dainty and sweet not to be frequented by moi.
Anyway, I’m getting ahead of myself.
The morgenmad consisted of a bun, cheese, jam, some syrup, orange juice and some very tasty skyr with müsli. A decent and filling start to the day! Ok price-​wise.
Location wise, it’s close to the central Christianshavn, but with a tad more quiet location and with a nice view over the canal. Be prepared for biking over cobble stones, which can be an experience that truly wakes you up in the morning.
The staff was helpful and nice, the cortado was great and the food was just right.

i love the environment of this café, definitely brings out what ‘hygge’ means. I love the plants, the turquoise pots, the hot air balloon décor, the chair. everything!
I had skyr med müsli, brød med avocado, and Cacao. I would say the yogurt and cacao were normal. Powdered hot chocolate alert. but the avocado surprised me, the combination with herbs and salt was really good. The avocado was fresh!:)
Too bad they didnt have their chocolate cake today, I would definitely come back for their cake and environment. It’s a really nice place to chill:)

A really «hyggelig» place with some nice simple food. Prices are reasonable and the service is quite pleasant. Even though it is a bit of the tourist-​map of Copenhagen it is highly recommended to visit the area along the canals and Parterre.

People I know have been posting images from Parterre at Instagram all summer, so when I finally got a chance to try it a few days ago, I was quite curious. Parterre is situated about 200 meters from the main square at Christianshavn — which I think is a good thing. That means that it takes some effort to find it — and that people drinking coffee there has chosen to drink there coffee there because it’s good, and not just because it was the first option they saw.
When that’s said, I think that Parterre is the sweetest little place. In my opinion Christianshavn lacked something like this — a small café with personality. It’s a father and son owning the café, and if you ask for the story about how they came up with the idea for the café, they’ll probably tell it to you.
Parterre opens early in the morning (7AM), so I went for breakfast. The menu wasn’t the longest in the world, so it was quite easy to come to a decision. I went for a coffee, a bun with cheese and jam and a croissant — it was all good. My friend tried the juice and the mozzarella sandwich, which was good as well.
Finally, lets talk about the furniture and the interior design. The main reason that everyone seems to post photos from here at Instagram. The café has a big table in the middle, and a few seats in the window. The chairs around the big table is a mix of old and new, and different colors. It’s pretty — like in an interior magazine. Yet another reason to pop by.

Slightly hidden at the end of the canal, Parterre is a sanctuary or an oasis from busy life. With a subdued palette of white and touches of pastel green and blue decorations, it has a minimalistic french chic style to it. The tables have an array of flowers and tiny tea lights as well as some light reading material.
It offers seriously good coffee and fresh pastries and bakes. The ambience is calming and relaxing with soft background music. This is the perfect place to sit and let your mind wonder.
