April Coffee：當咖啡在快與慢之間流動

從辦公室到城市街角

From Office to City Corner

April Coffee 的旅程，從 Østerport 一個安靜的辦公室，來到了哥本哈根老城 Indre By 的街角。在這裡，歷史與現代交錯，石板路上流動著城市的日常。然而，這次遷移不僅僅是地理位置的轉變，也是一種進化。Patrik 提到，這是關於準備好迎接新的可能性和觀眾，同時仍然堅持 April Coffee 一直以來的理念——精準、熱情，以及對品質的不妥協。在聊天中，Patrik 分享了他的核心理念：他所做的每一個決定，都是先為了自己而做，而不是迎合市場趨勢或大眾期待。他的第一家店，最初只是個辦公空間，煮咖啡純粹是為了工作的需求。後來，這個空間慢慢演變成一間對外開放的咖啡館，成為尋求體驗高品質咖啡客群的避風港。而如今，在 Indre By，他將這個理念具象化為兩種不同的空間——April Coffee Store & Showroom 是一個精選咖啡、器具和周邊商品的展示空間，而 SP Coffee Shop 則是與城市節奏同步的咖啡站，適合隨手帶走一杯咖啡和剛出爐的糕點。

April Coffee began its journey in a quiet office at Østerport and has now taken root on a street corner in Copenhagen’s historic Indre By, where the charm of bygone eras meets modern city life. This relocation is more than a mere change of address—it marks an evolution. Patrik explained that the move represents a readiness to welcome new possibilities and audiences while staying true to April Coffee’s core values of precision, passion, and uncompromising quality. In our conversation, Patrik shared his core philosophy: every decision is driven by his personal vision rather than market trends or public expectation. His first space, originally just an office where coffee was brewed out of necessity, gradually transformed into a welcoming café—a refuge for those seeking a superior coffee experience. Today, in Indre By, his vision comes to life in two distinct areas: the April Coffee Store & Showroom, which curates an array of coffees, equipment, and accessories, and SP Coffee Shop, a dynamic venue in tune with the city’s pace—ideal for grabbing a coffee and a freshly baked pastry on the go.

咖啡與空間的互動

Interplay of Coffee and Space

走進 April Coffee Store & Showroom，空間內的光線溫柔地流動，整個店鋪就像是一個開放式的客廳。桌椅的擺放並非一板一眼，而是帶著些許隨性，讓人可以依照自己的喜好選擇角落落座。這裡沒有刻意的最佳位置，反而鼓勵著客人彼此交流、分享。咖啡吧台沿著牆面設置，帶著簡潔的工業風，但一側覆上了弧形木質面板，為空間增添了一抹溫潤的柔和感。店內的氛圍異常寧靜，因為咖啡豆在事先就已經研磨完成，少了磨豆機運轉的噪音，讓人們可以自在地交談，而不受干擾。

Upon entering the April Coffee Store & Showroom, you are enveloped by soft, natural light that transforms the space into an inviting, open living room. The casually arranged furniture invites guests to settle wherever they please, naturally fostering conversation and connection. A sleek industrial coffee counter stretches along one wall, its design softened by a curved wooden panel that infuses the space with warmth. The atmosphere remains exceptionally calm, aided by the pre-ground coffee beans that eliminate the usual clatter of a grinder.

不遠處的 SP Coffee Shop 則展現出截然不同的動感氣息。這間店與本地知名的 Skipper Bageri 烘焙坊合作，讓咖啡與糕點相互輝映，碰撞出風味與質地的對話。與 Showroom 的靜謐不同，這裡以站立式的空間設計為主，讓客人可以快速取餐，也更容易在等候時與人交談。

Just a short stroll away, SP Coffee Shop exudes a distinctly energetic vibe. In collaboration with the renowned local bakery Skipper Bageri, the venue orchestrates a delightful dialogue between coffee and pastry. Its stand-up design caters to the fast-paced urban lifestyle, while still offering moments for spontaneous interaction.

北歐設計與全球靈感的交會

Where Nordic Design Meets Global Inspiration

April Coffee 是一個融合丹麥設計精神與國際視野的品牌。簡約、功能性與優雅的設計基調，透過與世界各地朋友與合作夥伴的互動，延展出更豐富的層次。咖啡店的空間坐落於一棟經典的哥本哈根公寓建築內，呈現出新舊並存的美感。白色的牆面如同畫布，襯托著店內桌椅的質感，以及精選物件的鮮明色彩。Patrik 透過這些元素，營造出一個既具丹麥設計語彙，又能讓來自世界各地的訪客感受到歸屬感的空間。

April Coffee embodies a fusion of Danish design sensibilities and international vision. Its minimalist, functional, and elegant aesthetic is continually enriched through collaborations with partners around the world. Housed within a classic Copenhagen apartment building, the café harmoniously blends historic charm with modern flair. Crisp white walls serve as a blank canvas, accentuating the textures of the furniture and the vibrant hues of carefully selected decor. Through these thoughtful choices, Patrik has crafted an environment that speaks the language of Danish design while making global visitors feel at home.

店內的每一個物件——從咖啡杯到 Patrik 身上的服裝——都藏著一段故事，訴說著他在旅途中所遇見的人事物。這些物件不只是裝飾，而是 April Coffee 與世界交流的載體。家具的選擇同樣講究，主要來自 Apetersen，這些作品不僅是座椅，更是一種邀請，邀請人們坐下來，慢慢享受這裡的氛圍。在我們訪談時，恰好遇到 Apetersen 的設計師們，他們就像老友般閒聊著咖啡與設計，這也正好體現了品牌間真誠的合作關係。

Every detail—from the coffee cups to Patrik’s attire—carries a story, reflecting the rich tapestry of his journey. These objects are more than mere decoration; they serve as a medium for April Coffee’s dialogue with the world. The furniture, primarily sourced from Apetersen, is not simply about seating—it’s an invitation to sit back, relax, and savor the ambience. During our visit, we even enjoyed a friendly chat with some of Apetersen’s designers, whose engaging discussion about coffee and design captured the brand’s genuine spirit of collaboration.

玩味視覺與味覺的咖啡店

A Café for Both the Senses

走進店內，透明展示架上擺放著 April Coffee 標誌性的咖啡袋，鮮明的色彩——橘色、湖水藍與青草綠——展現出品牌的個性與自信，也邀請顧客一同進入這場視覺與味覺的體驗。Patrik 回憶起當初設計咖啡袋的過程：「剛開始我們使用市場上的標準包裝，但我覺得它們太醜了。」於是，他決定自己設計，讓包裝呈現出 April Coffee 的精神——玩味、快樂與充滿活力。

Inside, a transparent display case showcases April Coffee’s signature coffee bags in bold shades of orange, turquoise, and grassy green. These vivid colors reflect the brand’s confident personality and invite customers to embark on a visual and culinary journey. Reflecting on the design process, Patrik recalled, “Initially, we used standard market packaging, but I found it too uninspiring.” This spurred him to create designs that truly capture April Coffee’s playful, joyful, and energetic spirit.

在店內的座位區，他刻意將展示咖啡產品的架子與座位區融合在一起，讓產品自然地融入空間之中。這樣的設計，讓客人既能像在客廳般舒適地坐下來，又能不經意地發現 April Coffee 精選的產品，讓 Showroom 與咖啡館的界線變得流動而無形。除了咖啡，店內還精心挑選了一系列設計單品，從服飾到生活用品，每一件物品都經過細緻挑選，延續了品牌對細節的執著，April Coffee 在 Indre By 的這個新空間，既是延續，也是一種聲明——它在精準與直覺之間取得平衡，在結構與隨性之間找到節奏。當店門敞開，迎接城市的律動，April Coffee 彷彿以空間和物件對每一位熱愛咖啡的人發出邀請，進入一個既嚴謹又輕鬆的咖啡實驗室，一個既專注又充滿玩心的空間。

The seating area is seamlessly integrated with display shelves that highlight the coffee products, inviting guests to relax as if in a cozy living room while discovering the curated offerings at their own pace. In this space, the line between showroom and café dissolves effortlessly. Beyond coffee, a carefully curated selection of design objects—from apparel to lifestyle accessories—underscores the brand’s meticulous attention to detail. April Coffee’s new venue in Indre By is both a continuation of its heritage and a bold statement of its evolution. It strikes a delicate balance between precision and intuition, structure and spontaneity. As the doors open to the city’s rhythm, April Coffee invites every coffee aficionado to step into a meticulously crafted yet relaxed laboratory—a space where focused craftsmanship meets playful creativity.
