Andersen Bakery

Quite possibly one of the best bakeries in Copenhagen. So good that we went twice in one day! Good service at the counter. In the morning they had a wide selection of fresh pastries available. In the afternoon there were savory baked goods, foccacia sandwiches and dessert treats for sale. There's limited seating available inside but if the weather is good there's enough seating outside.

**A Top-Tier Bakery with a Charming Waterfront Location** Copenhagen has a vibrant and competitive bakery scene, with many excellent options (and some that are not). The Andersen Bakery chain has long been one of our favorites, consistently delivering high-quality products. The range here is a significant strength, showcasing the best of Danish baking. They master everything from the light and fluffy 'teboller' (tea balls) to the dense, dark rye breads characteristic of Scandinavia. The bakery also offers several unique creations, such as a mini loaf of dense rye bread studded with chocolate chips—a combination that works surprisingly well. This particular location in West Amager is especially charming, with its proximity to the waterfront providing a lovely setting. As a minor point of feedback, we did find one item, the mistle cookie, to be overly sweet for our personal taste, but this is a small note in an otherwise excellent selection. With its Japanese roots and unwavering commitment to quality, the Andersen chain continues to stand out as one of the best bakeries in the Danish capital. We have written hundreds of reviews across five continents and have reached the highest level of reviewers on Google, ranked better than more than 90% of all reviewers. As ordinary consumers, we are not compensated for this review. We strive to provide fair and reliable assessments based on our experiences, hoping that the business will take them into consideration.

Cozy bakery/cafe offering a wide selection of breads, pastries and cakes. The only vegan option is a mango chocolate cake. It was delicious, fresh and not too sweet. The dark chocolate went very well with the mango/passion jam. The coffee was okay for a bakery. If you are looking for great coffee you’d be better off going to a proper cafe. They offered oat milk yet not decaf. Water available. Toilet available.

I visited Andersen Bakery craving something sweet. Unfortunately, I came after 4 pm, and almost everything was sold out. Luckily, there was one last rhubarb pastry left—waiting just for me—and I had to have it. It was absolutely delicious, as was the coffee. I’ll definitely try to come earlier next time to taste more of their pastries. Highly recommended!

Wow wow wow. Absolutely loved the food and the coffee. Wish I had a hallow leg to eat more food because every bite was better than the last. Very busy place, and it was a little loud but can still have a conversation. Tables fill up quick so be aware.

Wow, this bakery is easily a contender for the best bakery I’ve ever been to, and I’ve been to a lot of bakeries. We had the rhubarb croissant and this cinnamon bun. They were insanely delicious! Their pastries are very decadent yet not too sweet, with a nice balance of flavors. If you want a decadent sweet treat, this is definitely the best spot to get it from in Copenhagen. All the other pastries that we didn’t try, looked just as delicious.

Very dull ambience and poor customer service. We tried the Andersen signature chocolate cake and the hazelnut praline has stale taste i guess because of the nuts. It looked amazing but the taste was quite disappointing for us. Also the sesame sourdough was another disaster. They were selling half loaf and when we came home and cut it, it was extremely dry. There are many other places in Copenhagen to have delicious cakes and beautiful sourdoughs.

Andersen Bakery in Copenhagen is a gem that every tourist must visit. The quality of their products is simply outstanding, from the flaky pastries to the rich, aromatic coffee. The casual, welcoming vibes make it a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a delicious treat. Whether you're savoring a classic cinnamon bun or trying a unique forest fruits croissant, each bite is a testament to their craftsmanship. The friendly staff and cozy atmosphere add to the charm, making Andersen Bakery a delightful experience that shouldn't be missed.

Beautiful bakery with beautiful pastries. I ordered a cardamom bun. I liked how it was slightly crispy on top and soft on the inside. My friends enjoyed their croissant and rhubarb pastry. Services were extremely friendly. Indoor and outdoor tables available.

One of the better bakeries in Copenhagen, this place seems to have an international following. That said, pastries are excellently prepared and if substantive size.

These are some of the best pastries I've ever had. They are unique, tasty and have great variety. I really loved their almond croissant and cheese danish in particular.

A (literal) corner bakery near a few other restaurants, it was cute and busy with orders to go. Opt for the minis to share. Hands down the best pastry was the Spandauer with Hjemmekogt creme.

Inspired by Japanese Baker Shunsuke Takaki's 1959 trip to Copenhagen Andersen Bakery is an offshoot of Hiroshima's Takaki Bakery Co, its name a tribute to Denmark's famous author of literary fairy tales and the location in Islands Brygge considered to be one of Copenhagen's first modern Artisan Bakeries. Embracing a philosophy to "live healthy," many of Chef Nichlas Jaime Frese's creations focused on Whole Grains without added Sugar, work begins well-before 06h30 opening as a team in the open kitchen mixes, folds, kneads and stretches a variety of Pastries and Breads. Rooted in tradition, Viennoiseries like Tebirkes and Spandauer executed with Japanese exactitude, those seeking savories will find a smattering of Salads and Sandwiches alongside Cakes, Cookies and pulled-to-order Espresso. An award winner ever since Frese joined the team in 2009, though Andersen Bakery's Cardamom Roll fails to match the version at Juno, filled-Croissants come double-baked with a good shatter whether filled with Almond Cream or Custard surrounded by assertive Rhubarb.

Delicious pastries and coffee with friendly service. No complaints! Within 15 min walk of Marriott. Opens at 6:30 AM.

Had the most delicious cardamom bun and pastries from this cafe! Was recommended to check this place out by my friend who lives in Copenhagen - it's her favorite bakery. The outdoor area is also super cute with a bunch of multi-colored chairs and tables. Also had a strong latte - could tell they used some good coffee beans for this. Highly recommend!

This little bakery is delicious. We tried a sampling of pastry, sandwiches and coffee. Everything was yummy. Although it is a small shop and we had to eat outside, the staff were so friendly and helpful. It's a clear winner as a bakery

Stopped in for breakfast - tried an almond croissant, a chocolate pastry (can't recall the name), and a matcha latte. All were great, the croissant was amazing - great filling and flaky texture

The croissant is so good. Have Inside and outside table. Staff is nice. Good for foreigner.

A Japanese owned and run bakery making Danish specialities?!?! Count me in! This place was perfect for me because they make mini sized versions of the pastries so that we could try a lot at one time. There are not many gluten free options. There was a loaf of low gluten bread for 46DKK which is reasonable. The oat latte was okay. I expected more from the matcha latte as it tasted more like milk than the earthy flavor of matcha. The space to enjoy your pastries (they have savory sandwiches too!) is wonderful. We like the upstairs next to the bookcase. More privacy there if you do not want to be bothered by all the conversations that can occur with the long cue of this bakery. The service is sweet!

A bakery and cafe´ of very high quality. The best of its kind in the area of Islands Brygge, Copenhagen. That goes for everything from A to Z.

They ran out of the chai and matcha lattes but their pastries are delicious. My favorite was the yuzu cake. The coconut croissant was good too.

Andersen Bakery is hands down one of the most charming and elegant bakeries in Copenhagen. The beautifully decorated pastries are like little colorful art pieces. I was imagining how the guests would ooh and aah if I brought a selection of these impressive treats to a dinner party, or a delicious cake to someone's birthday. I'd be the guest of honor! We tasted the Cardamom Bun and Rhubarb Bun. The rhubarb one was perhaps a bit too sweet for my liking, but the texture and fluffiness of the cardamom bun was to perfection. I dream to go back and try all pastries!

Staying across the. harbor at the Marriott and it is a short walk to the bakery. Worth every step. You can smell the deliciousness a block away. Inside too many choices. It all looks fabulous. Nothing written in English but the staff is so friendly and helpful. It we weren't leaving today we would return often.

Andersen has an interesting story. It is originally a bakery chain from Japan, where it has been incredibly successful. Having been to the original Andersen bakeries in Japan, I was excited to try a Danish location. Unfortunately, it was thoroughly disappointing. We tried several pastries including the croissant, coconut croissant, spandauer, and cinnamon bun. The only one we could finish was the cinnamon bun, which was OK but nothing special. The croissants and spandauer were dry and bland. There are too many other good bakeries in Copenhagen to make this worth a visit.

Not the cheapest bakery around, but worth a try if you're in the area and are craving for some sweet goodness. Price: compared to my local bakery, most popular options (for example, spandauer) is 5-10kr more here, but I decided to try it nonetheless. For the extra cost, I wouldn't say it's worth going out of the way for. They have plenty of options, so a little something for everyone! Service: the ladies behind the counter were wonderful and patient with my questions. One even went through the trouble of accommodating a personal request for a bread that wasn't technically on display for sale. Seating: plentiful if you come off-hours. From previous reviews, there seems to be a breakfast rush, but I went around 1-2pm so I was one of 3 people seated.

Great onigiris! But only Friday-Sunday. Bread and cake excellent. I live 30 minutes away, but the trip is worth it!

Located in very good spot. All bakery stuff look delicious. Should be tried when around this location. They cook in the shop and very good smell attracts you.

My husband says this is the best sandwich he ever ate! Wonderful bakery. He had smoked salmon on delicious bread with dill cream cheese. I had tomato and mozzarella. We didn't even try the pastries but the smelled and looked amazing.

Very nice and cozy place with delicious bakery goods and beautiful cakes although quite pricey you might not wanna spend all your money there but just have a taste of one of the great delicious cakes that they make

This place is amazing!! Randomly stopped here to get a dessert, and it's just very good!!
