Checking in one last time at Torvehallerne, the glass market previously visited for Laura Bakery, Coffee Collective, Grod and Sweet Valentine, it was mostly as a way to pass some time that Granny's House got figured into Friday, the cutesy space decorated in colorful bubbles and chair cushions fitting its name with items that appear more rustic than most of the competition but still speak of skill and quality ingredients.
Located at the opposite corner of the market as Laura and operating from 10h00 daily at the same stall since 2014, three additional locations including one that offers overnight accommodations to travelers found throughout Denmark, Granny's House promises guests an experience based on honest scratch-baking and although at first appearing a bit ramshackle in terms of layout those willing to take some time to look will quickly find themselves a bit overwhelmed by no less than three dozen types of Viennoiserie, Cakes and Pastries.
Staffed by just one young woman, predictably tall and blonde but fluent in English despite the fact that all signage both on-site and online is in Danish, it was after a few minutes perusal and with several questions asked that a total of six items were selected, boxed, bagged and paid for, first bites of the Museli Biscuit unfortunately finding it entirely unsweetened save for dried Fruit and too dense to be enjoyed without something to drink, the Almond 'Croissant' more like a Turnover in that the ingredients were folded into it, though really just a matter of semantics as the layers were light and flaky around a soft center lacquered in Marzipan.
Unfortunately arriving a bit too late for items to be warm, though the Market setting and ovens located elsewhere made this possibility slim to begin with, it was with most of a dry Cinnamon Roll set aside that better things were tasted, the Chocolate Hazelnut Cookie softer and better stocked with Nuts than that at Sweet Valentine while the crispy Meringue with Hazelnuts and Coffee Buttercream was every bit as memorable, the best of Granny's offerings still to come by way of an all-Butter Tart filled with Rhubarb and topped in Streusel. read more
