Hello! I’m Kelly and I examine Supplies Science and Engineering at Drexel. I’m presently learning overseas in Copenhagen at Denmark Technical College (DTU).
Copenhagen is thought for its bakeries, and I used to be excited to attempt as many as I may. Here’s a listing of 5 of my favourite bakeries that I attempted, in no specific order.
- Buka Bakery: Buka has areas throughout town. They’re most identified for his or her crème-filled croissants. I used to be capable of attempt many alternative 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 areas 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 areas throughout town, it’s simple to choose up one in every of their implausible baked items!
- Juno: There is just one location within the metropolis, in Østerbro. It’s nestled in a extra residential a part of town, which signifies 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. After I went, there was a protracted 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, individuals had gotten up, so I used to be capable of sit proper in entrance of the bakery. Juno is legendary for his or her cardamom buns, and for good motive! 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 areas, which meant that I didn’t chew into any bigger seeds. I additionally received the Prinsesstårta. It was a superbly 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 additionally was an explosion of taste and filled with intriguing textures, a the crunchy cookie served as an ideal steadiness to the sleek custard.
- Hart: I used to be capable of attempt many alternative Hart areas, as they’re scattered all through 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 onerous, and the cardamom taste didn’t come by way of 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 properly 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 outlets are sometimes bigger and have seating for patrons to earn a living 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 capable of style the almond croissant, sourdough bun, cinnamon twist, and a Tebirkes (a poppyseed dessert, typically full of a cream or cheese) , and so they have been all nice. Emmerys isn’t a cute boutique bakery like different bakeries within the metropolis, however is a implausible place to get work carried out and luxuriate 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 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 motive! 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 high. This seemingly easy, however scrumptious baked items was one in every 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 very best pistachio flavored cream that I attempted and was one other one in every of my favourite gadgets 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 wonderful! Simply be sure that to both go on a sunny day so you may stand exterior, or attempt to be fortunate to find a seat. They solely have seating for about 8 individuals 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. When you go when there aren’t any dessert pastries obtainable, in addition they serve sandwiches on thick, home made focaccia.
After I return to Copenhagen, I plan to go to Anderson and Maillard and Lille. Anderson and Maillard has a number of areas within the metropolis, and is thought for his or her pistachio stuffed dice croissant. Their baked items look wonderful, and like all different bakeries, have a big number of loaves of bread. Lille is a bit more durable to get to than different bakeries, which I why I wasn’t capable of go to. It’s positioned on Refshaleøen, which is a few 40 minute bus journey south-east from town heart, or a ten minute bike journey. They’re identified for his or her domestically sourced substances and implausible breads. I imagine that they’ve candy pastries, however I used to be extra excited for his or her savory ones. They typically make artistic and intricately embellished focaccia and serve breakfast and lunch primarily based on substances from native farms. I liked 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 fine cafes and bakeries in Copenhagen.
