In the past decade, the Copenhagen food scene has really exploded. From the high-end food scene, to the cozy cafés selling the local BMO (scroll to find out what it is!) - you definitely won't leave this city hungry. But you'll probably be a little bit broke. 

In this guide, I've saved all my favorite places (plus in the bottom, I added if they have additional locations/branches) - and I'll also continuously add any new spots that I try.

Copenhagen - coffee, bakeries, brunch, sweets and dinner

I know what you're thinking...I can't wait to eat some Danishes! Well, guess what? In Denmark, these laminated pastries are called wienerbrød or in English "Vienna bread". Why you ask? Austrian bakers brought the technique of laminated dough to Denmark in the mid-1800s after Danish bakers went on strike. Luckily, København has some amazing bakeries. 

Enough about the history of wienerbrød. What should you eat?

Best Bakeries in Copenhagen 

Bageriet Brød


On our last day in Copenhagen, we luckily found this sweet bakery. It has more of a traditional vibe and serves mostly classics. However, these classics are bomb.
If you desire a break from the touristy center I would definitely recommend going here.
Their cardamom buns were amazing.

Get a pastry. Get a toast. This is just a super solid Copenhagen bakery, and located at one of the best spots in the city. There's no real seating - so get your things to go and take a seat at Enghave Plads (directly outside) and people watch.

Don’t miss this local’s favorite bakery. You can’t go wrong with any of their fresh pastries!
