The best bakeries & dessert spots in Copenhagen
Layer cakes, chocolate, cheesecake and pastries — Denmark's sweet side. We've gathered 6 verified places in Copenhagen — each with a source.
La Glace
Denmark's oldest confectionery (founded 1870), near Strøget, famous for traditional layer cakes like the Sportskage.
Bertels Salon
A cosy Indre By café on Strædet known for its wide range of cheesecakes.
Peter Beier Chokolade
Handcrafted Danish chocolate, elegant desserts and ice cream, with a café in the Carlsbergbyen district.
Juno the Bakery
A small Østerbro bakery that opened in 2017 and is best known for its cardamom bun, alongside vanilla buns, pistachio croissants and sourdough. It is closed on Mondays and popular items sell out, so go early.
Hart Bageri
A sourdough bakery founded with Richard Hart, former head baker at Tartine and later at Noma, known for its bread, croissants and cardamom buns. It is no longer a single shop — the Frederiksberg bakery on Gl. Kongevej is the flagship, with further branches across Nørrebro, Vesterbro, the city centre, Østerbro, Holmen, Islands Brygge, Reffen and Carlsberg Byen.
Sankt Peders Bageri
A bakery in the Latin Quarter that the Copenhagen tourist board describes as the city's oldest, famous for the "onsdagssnegl" — a large cinnamon snail baked only on Wednesdays. Around 4,000 of them are sold each Wednesday and they routinely sell out, so queues form early.
