This spot was right across from our Airbnb, and we noticed a line outside every day. Our host insisted we try it, describing it as a world-renowned bakery. Determined to beat the crazy lines, we got up early and headed downstairs. At first, the experience was a bit chaotic--people were trying to cut in line, and once inside, there wasn't much guidance about whether we could order for takeout or just at the counter. Despite the confusion, we placed our order at the counter and chose their most famous dessert, a few macarons, some pastries, and an éclair. Let me tell you--THE HYPE IS REAL. This place serves some of the best desserts I've ever had in my life. Their signature cake was absolutely divine: perfectly creamy with just the right amount of crunch. The macarons were flawless--no complaints there. The pastries tasted like heaven, and my boyfriend hasn't stopped raving about the éclairs since. So, what I'm trying to say is... if you're in the area, do yourself a favor and stop by for a pastry. You won't regret it! Plus, the line moves pretty quickly, I promise.
A nice and popular bakery with a wide variety of desserts and coffee. I went for breakfast at 8:30am so there was no line but you will have to wait mid day! It's counter style, where you order at the counter and find seating on your own. I got a vanilla tart and the classic house specialty cake both were delicious and not overly sweet! I would recommend. I also ordered coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice! The first round of coffee came cold and I realize now that was a mistake on their part. They probably served me old coffee hence the 3 stars but luckily they swapped out my pot of cold coffee with fresh hot coffee immediately.
Fantastic desserts. Big place with lots of indoor & outdoor seating in a fun area. Staff are also nice & friendly. If you're visiting Copenhagen, make sure you stop by here. We went twice in 2.5 days we had there!
The best of the best in Copenhagen. A friend recommended this place to us and we were so glad of all the places we tried. This was by far. the best!! I would rank this as Copenhagen ac's number one pastry shop. They have a boutique upstairs where you can buy Danish cookies and cakes. Perfect gift to take back home.
Absolutely worth a visit. I got a mocha eclair and a hot chocolate. Plenty of room inside, even though it was busy. Counter service and they bring it to your table when it's ready.
What a great place to enjoy fresh pastries and hot chocolate! It's a very upscale coffee shop and all about the posh ambiance and fresh pastries. The hot chocolate must be well known as we saw several people order it after we were seated. The Sevice is top notch as they bring your order to your table and offer free refills. But for the price, you won't be able drink enough to justify it. It is good hot chocolate though! And the pastries are some of the best I've had here in Copenhagen!!!
Come here for the cakes. La Glacé is a beloved institution that's been around since 1870. It is Denmark's oldest family owned and operated patisserie. There is Always a line and for good reason: the cakes are That delicious. I could not narrow down my choices to just a few so I ordered several. You cannot go wrong with any flavor. The moment you step foot inside La Glacé, you are transported back into time to the late 19th century and well worth trying. Don't be alarmed by the long line: it moves at a very fast pace.
Love this place. While other visitors prefer "5-tier cakes" my favorite is Danish raspberry slice "hindbærsnitter" and definately Earl Grey tea with milk :)
One of the better pastry shops I went to 100%. There is usually a line, so be prepared for that. Not only are the pastries really good but the service is also very home-y. There is plenty of seating and it's a very open area. The pastries are a 9/10 and I got an americano rather than an espresso this time. The Americano was also surprisingly good at a 8/10. I would come here again and again, but I need to try other cafes while I'm here :( This is by far the best one though.
4.5 stars for their Danish cookies.. Almost 5! Unfortunately, I only got Danish cookies from La Glace as the line for the bakery/cakes was way too long (at least an hour!). There's a separate entrance for the cookies so I entered from there. Picked up a few boxes and they were packaged really nicely; they make great gifts. I kept a box for myself and it contained 8 flavors. The cookies were super soft, buttery, and delicious. A few of them were a little too sweet, but still good. Highly recommended!!
This place is so popular and good that there is a perpetual line for their goodies. Don't be too intimidated though as the line can go fast and not everyone in the line plans to stay for a long time. It's dessert, so people come and go. I'd say a 30-minute wait is worth it, but not more than that. Just come back later if you have to wait forever. They're well known for their hot chocolate and the Sports Cake so these are what I recommend you order. Both are straight up delectable.
Best pastry shop in Copenhagen. All of the desserts are amazing and the presentation is incredibly appealing and beautiful but the flavors are even better. You cannot go to Copenhagen without enjoying these creations. You order at the counter and then they will bring it to your table. During the summer there's outdoor seating or you can sit inside where there's plenty of room.
This place was on several travel food shows I watch and was also highly rated when I was doing research for our trip to Copenhagen. We showed up on a Saturday afternoon and there was a line of about 15 people. It moved very quickly and while we waited, we looked at the showcase on beautiful patisserie. We sat inside and ordered our treats as well as coffee and hot chocolate (both were very good). Both of us got a croissant, I got chocolate which was good and had chocolate inside. My wife got the almond one and while it was good, there was no filling. Next I moved to the Sportskage, which La Glacé is famous for. It was very good, but definitely enough for two people. I really enjoyed it as it was not like any other cake I had had before. My wife got the Konsensus, which was a passion fruit mousse with mango gel over a hazelnut biscuit base topped with a chocolate macaroon. She said this was the clear winner of the day. Would definitely go back and try some of the other pastries and such.
Coffee was strong, and served hot. Long lines during touristy times, but line moved fast. Their Sportskage is their historical dish, delicious, if anything it's way too tasty and large in size for a single person to finish. Staff were friendly, and helpful. This place should be enjoyed! read more

The line is always long to get in but it moves fast. You are seated and then you go to the counter with your table number to place your order. I got tea and he got a hot chocolate and we shared two layer cakes. One was the Othello Cake which had custard cream, a macaroon bottom, and chocolate icing. This was our favorite. The second cake was the Schwarzwalder. It consisted of a black first gateau, cherry brandy whipped cream, chocolate sponge cake and chocolate butter truffle and cherry jam. It wasn't as rich as it sounds. Both were enjoyable but expensive. It was worth the visit to this popular place that's been around since 1870. read more

This is the place for dessert in CPH! Always a wait especially on the weekends but definitely worth it. I've tried a couple of the chocolate desserts which are divine. The servers behind the counter are wonderful! Always pleasant and smiling. Inside it feels like you are having coffee and dessert in a place from another time-classy and charming. This isn't your typical leather sofa with jazz in the background coffee/dessert house. It isn't the cheapest but you won't regret it. read more
I had high hopes coming here. I was looking forward to a slice of cake that I dreamed would have a spongy cake topped with delicious Danish pastry cream. Unfortunately this is not that kind of bakery. If you look closely all of their cakes feature 90% cream and at most 10% cake. A more accurate translation would be pie -think a whipped cream topped sweet pastry crust. The most famous sportskage was macaroon and sugar/whipped cream flavor. Good, but not out of this world. Especially for the 60+ kroner. The shop is cute for the ambience and it has a classic feel. read more
Best pastries I've ever had in my life! I grew up in Vancouver, BC and my mom worked at a Danish bakery. I grew up eating Kringles my whole life so naturally, I went to Denmark looking for Kringles. My boyfriend and I came here for dessert one night after dinner. This place is a counter service cafe with incredibly efficient service. You order at the front and then they seat you and bring you your order when it's ready. I had the Kringle, a pistachio macaron (my other favorite pastry) and coffee. The coffee was served in high tea fashion in a metal tea pot and was delicious. I would recommend this place for anyone with a sweet tooth visiting Copenhagen. read more
A few days ago, my sister & I visited Conditori La Glace twice. Their hot chocolate was the one item that made us come back a second time. WOW! It was one of the best hot chocolate we have ever had. It was so damn delicious, and satisfying on a cold day. It was not too sweet, unlike the American versions. Highly recommended! You can not order the chocolate as a take out item, and it must be consumed sitting in. One of the staff told us, they can refill another round of hot chocolate if you finished. We ordered 2 of their signature desserts: 1) sportskage (consists of crushed nougat, whipped cream, a macaroon bottom and caramelized choux pastry), and 2) kartoffelkagen (consists of vanilla cream and a biscuit bottom, and it is encased in marzipan and rolled in cocoa). The desserts were tasty, but we thought it was nothing special. Out of the 2, we liked the sportskage more. The kartoffelkagen was a bit weird for us. Although we didn't love it, everyone visiting Copenhagen should come in here to try a danish dessert. But do come here to drink that hot chocolate drink! The best thing ever! Cash and credit cards accepted here. You can order desserts as take outs, or as a sit in. But the hot chocolate is only for sit ins. read more

I understand that this place is a Big Deal. Is it worth it? Perhaps? My visit today was enjoyable. My boyfriend and I stopped by on a Tuesday afternoon and waited for only five minutes to get a table. The slice of appelsinlagkage that I ordered was most definitely the most delicious piece of cake I have eaten in my life, though my assessment might be based on the fact that American cakes generally have one thing going on at a time whereas this cake had like five different things going on at the same time. Like the macaroon crust. Wow. And the frosting. And the clementine orange slice that had a caramel coating. That slice of cake freaking blew my mind. Definitely worth the DKK 57 ($8) Their varm chokolade is fancy fancy, but I'm glad that I ordered coffee instead because hot chocolate AND cake is too much of a good thing. Would I insist that an American friend visit here? Mehhh... perhaps if they liked fancy cake and wanted a cute European cafe experience. I wouldn't bring my parents, 'cuz I know they aren't into that sort of thing, especially if it would involve a wait longer than five minutes. But damn, I would most definitely return for another piece of that cake. read more

When we were preparing for our Denmark trip, Conditori La Glace was recommended as one of the places to visit. As the oldest patisserie in Copenhagen (founded 1890), this place is highly popular. There's always a line. When we entered we could tell it was built in another era with an interior archway, large windows facing the street, and pastry display with some of the best looking pastries and desserts I've ever seen. Its pink interior with gold trim is highly appropriate for a bakery. With so many desserts to choose from, it was hard to choose one. I finally settled on a strawberry cheesecake dessert, which seemed to fit well with the surroundings. It was excellent. A great place to stop if you are touring Copenhagen. read more

This place is fantastic. It has a cute little ambience going on. Very similar to Laduree. I recommend going at an off time because the queue for this place can get fairly long. I ordered the Forårskage which is a raspberry moose cake with a chocolate truffle base. The moose was the absolute best. read more

Yes we had the most famous one "sport cake" and also another one recommend by the staff. But honestly, the famous is overly sweet and just a bit tasty, and the other one is not tasty at all.... So I was wondering whether I had been to the right place but seeing from the pictures for sure we had. La glace can be regarded as the most famous cake shop in Copenhagen and if you like cakes or you're a foodie, you should give it a shot but if you are not that interested in cake.... you can just let it go..... read more

Items Selected: Jam Danish Almond Croissant Sportskage - Crushed Nougat in Whipped Cream, Macaroon Base with Caramelized Choux Danmarkskage - Mascarpone Cream, Vanilla, Rhubarb Compote, Almond Base with Strawberries Opened in 1870 just off the Stroget and more than doubling in size from its original inception as its popularity has grown, Conditori La Glace has become a destination for both locals and tourists thanks to a collection of over a dozen Pastries and twenty Cakes available in whole or by the slice daily. Family owned and operated from the start, now in its 6th generation, it was early Saturday that a stop was made at Skoubogade 3 as the second half of breakfast, an 08h20 arrival finding staff still in the process of setting out tables and chairs, though entry along with two other groups was nonetheless allowed with the traditionally-dressed all-female staff remarkably pleasant for so early in the morning. Best known for their Cakes and Ice Cream, but also offering traditional Breakfast Pastries plus Macarons, it was after a quick summary of the sizable dining area that a seat was taken in a small booth looking straight at the register, an Almond Croissant plus the day's second Danish quickly brought to the table while staff paraded the Cakes out from the kitchen with one in each hand to fill the window and glass cases. Perceivably not updated in years, the Salmon-colored paint, worn carpets and gold trim all creating a cozy yet dated look, first bites of the Croissant showed a flaky Shell with good lamination and virtually no filling, the Almond really only a faint hint amidst all the Butter while the Danish presented the same Dough given less time to rise and filled with Raspberry Jam, a small circle of Icing plus a few Almond slivers. Anticipating that the best was yet to come, tough choices and a couple of questions eventually yielding two Cake slices even though at least a dozen sounded great, those looking for something light and fruity would do well to order the Danmarkskage thanks to the combination of a thin Almond base with Vanilla Mascarpone Cream, sweet Rhubarb Compote and fresh Strawberries while every other first-time guest would be foolish to pass up the signature Sportskage, a lighter-than-you'd-ever-imagine masterpiece with a soft Macaroon base, hand-whipped Cream on top and a center that would be as smooth as silk were it not punctuated with tiny pieces of caramelized and crushed Nougat. read more
SUCH A GOOD BAKERY! My mom and I absolutely love this place. It's located near a university with so many convenient shops and places to eat as well. Having a stroll around the area is really nice in the morning. Also to sit inside or outside the bakery while having a cup of tea, coffee, or hot chocolate is such a nice way to calmly wake yourself up in the morning for what you're about to do. Their baked goods were so soft and fresh tasting. The vanilla crème filling was such a fresh taste of real vanilla that I've never felt I had back home in other bakeries. I would definitely come back here if I ever had the chance to. The hot chocolate was delicious but nothing extravagant like many of the reviewers have said. Maybe I was too excited about it! Favorites : -Baguette w/ butter -Macarons -Vanilla crème filled croissant with chocolate drizzle around read more
Even in the winter there is a line, and when you take a look at the window display you can understand why. The gorgeous assortment of cakes in what is clearly a cozy (and historic) cafe in the heart of Copenhagen draws you in. The selection is quite large, and my choice, which I unfortunately do not remember by name, was great. Regardless of choice, each cake is clearly crafted with care so I don't think you can go wrong here read more
La Glace was good. But a bit of a let down. I couldn't leave Copenhagen without trying a kartoffelkage. And I should mention that I really don't like marzipan. Too bad that hartoffelkage is enrobed in a goodly layer of marzipan. But I will not hold that against La Glace - I knew what I was getting in to. So I made the quick trip here from my hotel the last morning of my stay, and ordered a coffee, a kartoffelkage, and a pistachio macaron, just because I love them and I'm a fatty. The kartoffelkage was better than i expected, given the whole marzipan thing. For those who don't know, it's a light layer cake with a cream filling, wrapped in marzipan and then rolled in cocoa. It looks like a browned spud when you're done - hence the name "potato cake." This was probably better marzipan than I have ever had. No fake cherry taste from artifical flavoring, not dried out or objectionably textured. The cake was light and moist, the filling wasn't too thick and heavy, and I liked the cocoa to cut through the sweetness. However, one is enough of these. I want to try some of the other things here, but I needed to do the right thing and try the local item first. The macaron, sorry to say, does not compare to what I love from Belle Epicurean in Seattle. This is not to say that La Glace's are correct and Belle's are wrong, or vice versa, it's to say that I want Belle's before I want La Glace's. Belle has a silky filling and rich, chewy cookies, while La Glace really has neither - the filling was kind of blah, and the cookies were mostly air bubble that crumbled as soon as I bit in. Maybe I had a "bad" one, but I won't be dreaming about these later tonight. Finally, the coffee - tasty, but at ~$10, way way way overpriced, even for Copenhagen. The staff were friendly - note, when you show up early, like 5 minutes after opening, you have the place to yourself and they may not even have all their items set out yet. They had to go get my kartoffelkage from the kitchen. Doesn't bother me either way, but if you don't see what you want, you may want to ask. So I would still come back, but I would take the baked good away and get coffee elsewhere. I almost had a heart attack at the ~$20 this cost me...and then I realized my hotel had been charging me $25 for breakfast every morning. Sigh. read more

Conditori is a historical tea and cake shop in the centre of Copenhagen. The hostess brings you to a table and provides a number; when your number is called you go up to order at the counter and your food is brought out a few minutes later. I thought the desserts we ordered were just okay - we tried a chocolate mousse cake, from the menu pamphlet, and another pastry that we just picked out at the counter. The teas were really good. Loose leaf tea in a little silver pot, and they'll give you a refill of hot water if you'd like. I tried the house tea which was a flavoured black tea. It was nice to go out for afternoon tea (and I'm not sure where else is a good place for tea in Copenhagen), and the food and tea was decent, but the restaurant feels very touristy and I don't think lives up to the hype that surrounds it. read more
Definitely too sweet for me but my friends love the place. Size wise, the servings are like cheesecake factory servings so is the overwhelmingly long list of flavors too choose. The have smaller desserts like macaroons and they also.serve coffee and tea. It's a very cute, hidden place. Getting tour order, can be messy because you order and you don't get a number or anything so basically the waitress has to figure out where are you in the place. But I you have the time and want to try something really authentic then you should definitely go to this place with history. read more

I loved the old feel of this place! It has historic charm and is perfect to unwind after a long day of touring. We tried a vanilla custard pastry, rhubarb cake, strawberry milkshake, and a coffee. The vanilla custard pastry was crispy/flaky with just the right amount of creamy custard. I thought the rhubarb cake was a bit sweet. read more
It is like travelling back in time to an old pastry/tea shop. Not only the decor but the attention to detail & even the packing. Come here to indulge and sample rich delights and forget your hips for now. They have an amazing array of pastries which you can eat in or take away. You are warned that whilst they have a table service, primarily they are a shop & will get to you when they can. When busy, you have to take a number to get served. They add a fee for foreign credit cards so watch out & no take away option for beverages. read more
