Illustration made with AI
Pontes is a small roastery and a coffee bar in one, started by a Danish-Californian couple who wanted to bridge their two backgrounds. It sounds like a cliché until you taste the range: American playfulness in the roasting, Nordic discipline in the brewing.
They roast in the room on Toftegårds Plads and sell beans to take home. The selection is small and it changes — this is a place where you ask what is on the bar today.
Open Wednesday to Friday from eight to five and at weekends from ten to four. Monday and Tuesday are closed.
It sits outside the usual coffee neighbourhoods, which is why there is usually room. It suits anyone who lives in Valby, and anyone willing to travel for a cup that does not taste like everyone else's.
Why it's worth a visit
- Own micro-roastery with a playful range
- Away from the usual coffee routes
- Personal service — they roast in the mornings
