Hello! I’m Kelly and I research Supplies Science and Engineering at Drexel. I’m presently learning overseas in Copenhagen at Denmark Technical College (DTU).
Copenhagen is understood for its bakeries, and I used to be excited to attempt as many as I may. Here’s a checklist of 5 of my favourite bakeries that I attempted, in no specific order.
- Buka Bakery: Buka has places throughout the town. They’re most identified for his or her crème-filled croissants. I used to be in a position to attempt many various pastries from Buka, and they’re all scrumptious! Particularly, pistachio was a favourite taste of mine all through my travels in Europe, and the pistachio crème-filled croissant was my favourite merchandise at Buka. I additionally tried the vanilla spandauer, their plain croissant, and their sourdough bun. The Buka places are all the time very crowded, so tables are solely obtainable in case you are fortunate sufficient to reach when another person is leaving. As a result of there are such a lot of places throughout the town, it’s simple to choose up certainly one of their unbelievable baked items!
- Juno: There is just one location within the metropolis, in Østerbro. It’s nestled in a extra residential a part of the town, which implies that the stroll to Juno is gorgeous. Most of the houses have ivy rising up them, and Juno sits on the nook of three converging streets. Once I went, there was an extended line of individuals stretching out the door. There may be solely out of doors seating within the entrance courtyard, so I used to be ready for a heat day to go to. Fortunately, proper after I grabbed my meals, folks had gotten up, so I used to be in a position to sit proper in entrance of the bakery. Juno is known for his or her cardamom buns, and for good cause! Juno’s cardamom bun was my favourite of any bakery that I attempted. The cardamom was evenly distributed and floor extra finely than at different places, which meant that I didn’t chew into any bigger seeds. I additionally received the Prinsesstårta. It was a fantastically layered Swedish dessert, with a lightweight sponge layered with raspberry jam, Polynesian vanilla custard, and whipped vanilla cream, all topped with a layer of marzipan. This pastry was not solely stunning, but in addition was an explosion of taste and stuffed with intriguing textures, a the crunchy cookie served as an ideal stability to the graceful custard.
- Hart: I used to be in a position to attempt many various Hart places, as they’re scattered all through the town, equally to Buka. This bakery was hit and miss for me. I attempted the cardamom croissant, which was a bit overdone for my liking. The croissant was exhausting, and the cardamom taste didn’t come via very strongly. I additionally tried the Fastelnavnsboller, a standard Danish dessert served in February, which was scrumptious. The custard tasted nice and the underside dough beneath it had a pleasant texture. By far my favourite merchandise from Hart was the Cauliflower Quiche. This merchandise had such intricate flavors, with the cauliflower balancing effectively with the cheese and seasonings.
- Emmerys: The Emmerys bakeries are much less specialised than different well-known bakeries in Copenhagen, however their pastries are nonetheless fantastic. To me, Emmerys is the Saxby’s of Copenhagen. As it’s a native chain, these retailers are sometimes bigger and have seating for purchasers to make money working from home there. My mother and father’ lodge was proper close to an Emmerys location, so that they loved stopping in for a breakfast snack or noon deal with whereas exploring. I used to be in a position to style the almond croissant, sourdough bun, cinnamon twist, and a Tebirkes (a poppyseed dessert, typically stuffed with a cream or cheese) , they usually have been all nice. Emmerys isn’t a cute boutique bakery like different bakeries within the metropolis, however is a unbelievable place to get work finished and revel in a well-executed basic Danish pastry.
- Skt. Peders Bageri: This was most likely my favourite bakery to go to. It’s in a beautiful a part of the town and is positioned very near the central public transit station, Norreport Station. It’s well-known for his or her cinnamon bun, and for good cause! Their model is much like a traditional cinnamon roll, however much less candy. The amazingly smooth brioche backside dough completely compliments the candy icing on prime. This seemingly easy, however scrumptious baked items was certainly one of my favorites that I attempted in Denmark. The following baked items that I attempted at Skt. Peders bakery was a pistachio spandauer, and a pistachio/nutella croissant. The spandauer contained the perfect pistachio flavored cream that I attempted and was one other certainly one of my favourite objects from Copenhagen. The pistachio and nutella merchandise, nonetheless, was too candy for me. The nutella was too heavy for the croissant dough, so it made the feel a bit chewy. All in all although, Skt. Peders bakery was superb! Simply be sure that to both go on a sunny day so you’ll be able to stand exterior, or attempt to be fortunate find a seat. They solely have seating for about 8 folks directly, so it’s important to be one of many fortunate few to seize one. Additionally, they run out of pastries so rapidly that they bake batches all through the day. Should you go when there aren’t any dessert pastries obtainable, additionally they serve sandwiches on thick, home made focaccia.
Once I return to Copenhagen, I plan to go to Anderson and Maillard and Lille. Anderson and Maillard has just a few places within the metropolis, and is understood for his or her pistachio crammed dice croissant. Their baked items look superb, and like all different bakeries, have a big collection of loaves of bread. Lille is a bit more durable to get to than different bakeries, which I why I wasn’t in a position to go to. It’s positioned on Refshaleøen, which is a few 40 minute bus experience south-east from the town middle, or a ten minute bike experience. They’re identified for his or her domestically sourced elements and unbelievable breads. I consider that they’ve candy pastries, however I used to be extra excited for his or her savory ones. They typically make artistic and intricately adorned focaccia and serve breakfast and lunch based mostly on elements from native farms. I cherished each bakery expertise that I had, and am excited to attempt as many new Danish bakeries as I can! There isn’t any scarcity of excellent cafes and bakeries in Copenhagen.
