Copenhagen café culture is incredible, and I recently spent 2 weeks visiting at least one bakery or café each day. This guide includes 20+ locations across the city, and it will steer you in the direction of the the very best coffee, cardamom buns, and brunch boards all across the city.

Copenhagen - coffee, bakeries, brunch, sweets and dinner

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.

The Best Cafe & Bakery in Copenhagen ☕

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?

Seks Bakery & Eatery

Inspired by their travels, this eclectic café is run by a lovely Polish couple and is one of the few places nestled in the city center that I recommend visiting. Great vibes, and their extensive collection of cookbooks is my dream. 

for an unforgettable experience, go get some seks. we recommend having it with friends in the morning, if you catch our drift… on a more serious note, this is the place for a cozy breakfast with an unbelievably cool menu. 

One of my fave cafes in the city. Their middle-eastern inspired menu is also to die for.

Seks is known for its Polish-style cheesecake so that's just what I tried.
