Why it is renowned

Sprudge names Prolog with April, La Cabra and Coffee Collective among the Copenhagen roasters that have become synonymous with the Scandinavian style of coffee.1 European Coffee Trip, the guide to Europe's specialty coffee, has written about its first bar and lists all four of its Copenhagen bars in its city guide.23

The story

Sebastian Quistorff and Jonas Gehl opened Prolog Coffee Bar in March 2016 in Kødbyen, the Meatpacking District of Vesterbro, together with the food company I'm a KOMBO; it was meant as a temporary installation and stayed.2 Prolog now roasts its own coffee, sells it wholesale and by subscription, and uses one roast of each coffee for every brewing method, which it calls omni roasting.4 Its bars are in Kødbyen, on Randersgade in Østerbro, on Marguerite Vibys Plads in Frederiksberg and on Papirøen.5
