It's usually packed, sometimes very packed, and the handful of seats feel more valuable than a winning lottery ticket. The coffee is fine, does the job, but let's be honest, you're here for the pastries. And wow, the pastries. Warm, flaky, buttery perfection that makes the wait completely forgivable. We ate FOUR between two of us!! My favorites were the custard and cinnamon roll. But the blueberry and poppy seed shouldn't be overlooked either. We didn't get cardamom this time... not really a fan of that. Grab one, dodge the crowd, and eat it outside if you have to, because these are absolutely worth it. Copenhagen bakery culture at its most intense and delicious.

There were spandauers, croissants, chocolate croissants, cardamom buns, and two or three types of bread. I got a chocolate croissant and a semolina custard bun. The chocolate croissant was delicious -- many flakey layers of buttery goodness and the chocolate inside was high-quality. The semolina custard bun, on the other hand, had too much cream and the bun itself had a soggy texture (1 star off); I didn't like that one. There are a few outdoor tables. If you are one of those pastry lovers who must devour pastries right after purchase, plan your visit accordingly. Weather-permitting, you may not be able to devour them at their outdoor tables right away.

I stood there for a few minutes and didn't understand why several others who came after me got served first. This is a Copenhagen bakery chain, but I like this location because it has a beautiful view of the canal-lined houses of Christianshavn. I didn't find too many desserts here, but got a ham and cheese sandwich. It was simple, but very good. The ham and cheese were flavorful together, and the creamy Dijon mustard was especially delicious. I do wish there is an option to toast the sandwich, but it was pretty good cold too.

She made an alternate suggestion, nuts and vanilla cream Danish. I also wanted the Xmas tree marshmallow treat again. She placed it in a small box as to not have it crushed. Wow! A small kind way of packing it as opposed to how København H( Central Station) placed it in a paper bag. The store is bigger than other locations. It was busy however the staff did a great job in staying sweet, calm and line was organized beautifully. Thank you! Great experience and delicious treat!

When I visited this bakery, of course I chose their cardamom bun. While it had a lovely flavor, I personally preferred the version from Hart Bageri. This one was a bit denser in texture, though still very enjoyable. The iced coffee was strong and satisfying, and the ordering process was impressively quick and efficient, with several credit card terminals available for payment. One thing to note is that this bakery is takeout-only, with no seating area.

Plus -- beautiful views of the water! Of the pastries I've tried, I liked the cinnamon roll and a vanilla custard danish (I'll include a picture) the best. The cardamom roll is good, but not my favorite we've had. It tasted like it had a bit of orange in it, which was fun, but it was a little softer than I personally prefer. All in all, if I'm ever back in Copenhagen I'll definitely stop at Hart Bageri. Pro Tip: Don't forget to ask for you matcha sweetened if that's how you like it!

They also have a lovely inside and outside seating area right on the canal that I would have loved to stop and admire if I had more time.

"The name comes from the appearance of the first bakery, which was a square building with alternating cream-colored layers resembling a layer cake." This bakery also serves breakfast items, brod (open face )sandwich and coffees. Here is a sample of pastry offerings in Danish: Wienerbrød: The general term for what English speakers call "Danish pastries". Kanelsnegl: A cinnamon roll. Spandauer: A pastry typically filled with jam or custard. Frøsnapper: A pastry sprinkled with seeds. Tebirkes: A poppy seed pastry. There are numerous locations for this bakery. I visited the location in main hall of Kobenhaven K or Central Station before catching my train to Kronborg Castle. The space was filled with people who were grabbing a ticket and then wait for ticket number to be called. I was indecisive and thought I saw a pastry with lemon filling. The employee who seemed a bit flustered told me that it was not lemon and she did not have anything with lemon. It turned out to be vanilla custard which was just as good. I also tried the green sprinkled marshmallow ball. She placed my two items in their own bag. I wanted a shopping bag which she snidely says "It cost 5 krone". Unfortunately, my New York response was snide as well, "I don't care". The two pastries were delicious. However, service needs to be as exquisite as the items you sell, unfortunately this location is lacking in that. There is another, smaller located downstairs from concourse whose employees are sweeter. Nok sagt or enough said.

Brought it back to my hotel to consume. I thought it was OK, very dense and definitely one would fill you up (couldn't finish it). Much prefer an almond croissant.
