“ I came here with 2 other friends on a wednesday morning around 10am and there was no line! We were also able to secure seating almost immediately (it's pretty small inside). I ordered a pistachio cream pastry and a cardamom bun and they were both pretty good but the pistachio cream definitely got a little much towards the end. I would recommend splitting this one with someone. The cardamom bun was less fragrant than the Juno Bakery version but it was softer and tasted more flavorful! ”
“ This is one of the oldest bakeries in Copenhagen, and I couldn't leave Denmark trying trying a Danish pastry before leaving. So naturally, my friend I came here twice during our short stay. Everyone else in Copenhagen knows what's up because this place was crowded and had a small line a couple hours after opening. If you wait till noon, you'll be left with cinnamon rolls (which is still a fantastic option). The pastries here are phenomenal - warm, soft, perfectly sweet. Absolutely worth a transatlantic flight over. ”
“ Ambiance: 3/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 5/5 This place definitely deserves all of the hype it receives! I came on a weekday morning and was surprised to have to wait in a line but luckily it went by quick. The space itself is quite small with only a few tables available so I would say it's best to be prepared to get some goodies for takeaway in case you can't snag a table. Once I got to the front of the line I was overwhelmed with all of the delicious goodies they had to offer so I went with the recommendation of the lady working at the front and was so glad! The pastry was warm and perfectly soft, I still dream about it to this day. I can't wait to go back! ”
“ this bakery has something for everyone. sweet and savory options. we went on wednesday for the snails (cinnamon rolls). they were really good. but their pizza foccacias are amazingggg. ”
“ For my first cinnamon roll in Copenhagen, I thought I should try it from the oldest bakery in town. My first impression was that it's definitely less sweet and yeasty than the NA version, with the texture being more bread-like. I have to admit that the outer part was a bit too dry for my taste, but the closer you got to the center, the better it tasted, especially in combination with the cinnamon sugar. It's a good roll for sure, and the price point is quite low at 26DKK, with plenty of locals stopping by (always a good sign), however I don't know if I would consider it extraordinary. ”
