The Best Bakeries in Copenhagen

Copenhagen is, per capita, one of the most important bakery cities in the world. The New Nordic movement that reshaped the city's restaurant scene has had an equally profound effect on its bakeries, attracting internationally trained bakers who combine Scandinavian ingredients with French and American technique.

Hart Bageri, Frederiksberg

Richard Hart's bakery — co-founded with René Redzepi — is the most influential bakery in Scandinavia. The sourdough loaves, the morning buns, and the seasonal Danish pastries set a new standard for Nordic baking.

Juno the Bakery, Østerbro

A small bakery with a cult following for its croissants, cardamom buns, and naturally leavened breads. The quality is extraordinary and the queue on weekends reflects it.

Meyers Bageri

Claus Meyer — the other co-founder of Noma — launched Meyers Bageri to bring artisan bread to everyday Copenhagen. The rugbrød and the kanelsnegle (cinnamon rolls) are benchmarks.

Andersen & Maillard, Nørrebro

A French-Danish bakery producing textbook viennoiserie and excellent bread. The croissants are among the most technically accomplished in the city.
