#1
Christianshavns Færgecafé
Christianshavn·$$
Tarteletter
DKK95.00
Puff pastry shells filled with creamed vegetables and ham.
Tip: Order this before your main — it's comforting and sets the tone for traditional Danish food. The puff pastry is worth the carbs.
#2
Polly
Frederiksberg·$$
Croissant aux Amandes
DKK55.00
Laminated butter croissant topped with sliced almonds and dusted with powdered sugar.
Tip: Arrive before 9 AM on weekends for the best selection — they make fresh batches every 45 minutes but the morning ones are always gone by 10.
#3
Københavns Bageri
Vesterbro·$$$
Pain au Chocolat
DKK42.00
Laminated pastry with dark chocolate filling and a crispy, caramelized exterior.
Tip: Order this warm if possible—the chocolate should still be molten when you bite into it.
#4
Københavns Bageri
Vesterbro·$$$
Cinnamon Roll
DKK38.00
Laminated pastry roll with cinnamon sugar and light icing.
Tip: The laminated texture makes this different from American cinnamon rolls—more flaky, less doughy.

Apotek 57
Indre By·$$
Cardamom Bun
DKK65.00
House-baked cardamom bun with vanilla cream.
Tip: Arrive before 9:30 AM to guarantee cardamom buns are available. They sell out on weekends by mid-morning.

Københavns Bageri
Vesterbro·$$$
Kringle - Prune and Cardamom
DKK48.00
Croissant-dough pretzel with vanilla, French prune, brandy, cardamom, and nut filling.
Tip: This is unique to Københavns Bageri and worth trying—the brandy-soaked prunes and cardamom combination is refined.
