Andersen Bakery — Restaurant in Copenhagen Municipality

I thought that I would give Andersens a thorough sampling, rather than judge by one or two of their creations, for science of course. And because everything looked too enticing, beautiful and delicious from the pictures online. However, while some things were lovely, overall I can't say that I'm blown away, and I daren't look at how much I spent overall.

Copenhagen is expensive in general, so I suppose I can't complain about the prices at Andersens too much, but seriously, yikes... considering that it was nothing to write home about.

For round one I went for a selection of miniatures. The best was the salted caramel chocolate waffle concoction, they really got everything right in terms of textures, flavours and appearance. A mini yuzu meringue tart was pleasant, but not mind blowing (a recurring theme here). Passionfruit mousse was lovely but the base had absorbed a lot of moisture and was soggy. The little matcha cake was very cute but low on matcha flavour.

Round two - I got a sake roll and a raspberry tart type thing on a cakey base. The sake roll was distinctly lacking in the flavours that were listed - coffee sponge, umeshu mascarpone and coffee cream. I can't remember wanting to eat all of it, and that says it all. The raspberry thing was also quite boring and one note.

Final visit - yuzu meringue tart, straberry thing with koldskal (buttermilk) mousse and a kind of blackforest gateau inspired cake with miso flavoured sponge. The yuzu meringe tart was lovely, the pastry was crisp and buttery, it had a surprise layer of some kind of almond sponge / dacquoise or possibly frangipane at the bottom, a thick layer of yuzu curd, a hidden layer of bergamot gel and a ceamy italian meringe on top. Wonderful stuff!

The strawbery thing had lemon mazarin layer, almonds, berry compote, lime cream, koldskal mousse and fresh strawberries. Nice enough.

What I was really looking forward to was a miso sponge with pistachio cream and cherries on top, with a secret layer of giandujia. This was all ok, but again, lacking in flavour despite sounding amazing. I could taste zero miso, pistachio was subtle, and the cherries were the highlight. Unfortunately as you can see in the photo, the chocolate layer stuck to the bottom as I was eating these in a park and didn't have a...

I recently visited Andersen Bakery in Copenhagen and I must say that I was absolutely blown away by my experience there. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the bakery. The staff were incredibly polite and friendly, making me feel right at home.

But of course, the star of the show at Andersen Bakery has to be their cinnamon rolls. They are simply out of this world! The rolls are soft, fluffy, and perfectly spiced with just the right amount of cinnamon. They are hands down the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had, and I've had quite a few in my time!

But it's not just the cinnamon rolls that are great at Andersen Bakery. They have an incredible selection of other bakery specialties on offer, including delicious croissants, fresh bread, and a wide variety of pastries. Everything is baked fresh daily, so you can be sure that you're getting the very best quality.

The atmosphere at Andersen Bakery is also worth mentioning. It's a cozy and inviting space, with plenty of seating both inside and out. The interior is beautifully decorated, with lots of natural light and a warm, welcoming vibe. It's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a coffee and a pastry.

But what really sets Andersen Bakery apart is the service. The staff are incredibly polite and helpful, always willing to answer questions and offer suggestions. They go out of their way to make sure that you have a great experience, which is something that's becoming increasingly rare these days.

Overall, I would highly recommend Andersen Bakery to anyone looking for an incredible bakery experience in Copenhagen. The cinnamon rolls are a must-try, but everything else is also fantastic. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the service is always polite and attentive. If you're in Copenhagen, be sure to...

The allure of eating at the recently voted #1 bakery in Copenhagen proved too strong, and we found ourselves taking the metro and walking several blocks in frigid weather to arrive to its location. A sugar pilgrimage if there was ever one, and not entirely convinced it was worth the effort. It is an open secret that the Japanese have outdone the French in the ultra refined patisserie department, and here they were the most exquisite looking pastries we had seen on the entire trip. The color palette of their whimsical sculptural shapes were irresistible for someone like me that regularly avoids sugary desserts especially at 9:00 am in the morning. So after finishing a "meh" cardamon snail (and knowing we would not be returning any time soon) we ordered what looked like little pink clowns's heads wearing fashionable hats, like the ones one sees at the Ascot races. They tasted as good as they looked, and they were solid proof that their #1 rating was well deserved.

The assymetry of the space does not do justice to the effort it takes to make those pastries. The display at the counter has two different aesthetics: 1.one for middle of the road savories catering to the bread and butter customer, and 2. cut at an angle for the refined looking patisserie. The same jarring spatial configuration applies to the dining mezzanine on the upper level, which is crying for a handrail as the steps are in a jarring sequence...I almost fell down when bringing my used utensils down to the trash station. So if you happen to sit on the area please...
