The best copenhagen bakeries

When I was having a really hard time earlier this year, I bailed on a week long hiking trip and instead booked a round trip flight to Copenhagen for a few days of solitude, art, and, most importantly, pastries.

Here are my honest thoughts on the hottest Copenhagen bakeries:

1. Hart Bageri; loads of locations, great options. Will visit again

2. Rug Bakery; thought it would be overrated, think it’s actually, if possible, underrated. My favourite.

3. Andersen Bakery; extortionate prices for matcha but worth every penny. Bakes are unreal.

4. Andersen & Maillard; yum.

5. BUKA Bakery; definitely a bit of a tourist trap pricing wise, but a pastry is a pastry.

6. Lille Bakery; full tourist trap. I’m sure they have some nice things, but my focaccia was inedible :(

7. Bodenhoffs Bageri; a chain, but fine if you want a basic pastry

8. Lagahuset; also a chain, but my preferred chain.

9. HANS Coffee; great matcha, yummy pastries.

10. Sonny; not really a bakery but I’m adding it because I see it on other lists. I hold a grudge because I paid £8 for a mid matcha.

Bakeries I’ve yet to go to, but they’re high on my list:

1. Københavns Bageri

2. Juno the Bakery

3. H.U.G Bageri

4. Collective Bakery

5. ORSA

6. Skt. Peders Bageri

Any to add? Leave them in the comments! I’m running the Copenhagen Marathon next year, and I’ll need to do a lot of carb loading before that.
