A soft, delicious cardamom bun is one of the standout items. Reviewers consistently single this out as superior to other cardamom buns in Copenhagen—sweet, aromatic, and perfectly baked fresh each morning.
Tips from diners
Arrive before 9:30 AM to guarantee cardamom buns are available. They sell out on weekends by mid-morning.
A unique savory waffle option with egg salad is praised for its unexpected flavor combination. The waffle is crispy on the outside, warm inside, and the egg salad provides creamy contrast.
Tips from diners
Don't skip the savory waffle with egg salad—it's unique to Apotek 57 and represents Chef Chiara's take on seasonal Danish brunch.
A house-made croissant featuring lemon curd and poppy seeds, showcasing Chef Barla's Italian-trained approach to pastry. The balance of tart and buttery is carefully calibrated.
Tips from diners
Pair the lemon curd croissant with filter coffee (the only option)—avoid espresso drinks as they don't offer them.
A standout combination of house-made granola with creamy yogurt and pistachio. Reviewers praise both the granola's texture and portion size.
Tips from diners
The pistachio granola is a lighter option than pastries and keeps you satisfied longer. Good value for the portion size.
Eggs with yogurt, chili oil, and herbs.
Tips from diners
Order Turkish eggs to share with your group—the yogurt and chili oil combination is savory and light compared to the pastries.
