Copenhagen Pastry is a bright, inviting bakeshop in Culver City, acclaimed for its flaky kringles, luscious princess cake, and a delightful array of Danish treats.
"Founder Karen Hansen wanted to serve a beautiful, buttery slice of her homeland Denmark at this lovely 11-year-old bakery. Serving delightful Danishes, cakes, and other baked treats that balance all the right levels of sugar, fruit, and pastry, Copenhagen works great as a morning pick-me-up or as a shareable office treat. The princess cake, borrowed from nearby Sweden, is a must-order for cake aficionados. — Matthew Kang, lead editor" - Eater Staff, Matthew Kang
"Sometimes, when the days get long and every night blurs together, we slip into a very specific daydream—one where we cut off all our hair, move to the Danish countryside, and go by a new name. When that daydream hits, we head to Copenhagen Pastry. The brightly lit bake shop in Culver City has more Danish goods than an IKEA showroom, from pretzel-shaped kringles to butter cakes to loaves of rye. If you come on the weekend, get their special morning rolls. They cost around a dollar each, and are made from soft, slightly sweet dough—the perfect vehicle for any jammy eggs or jellies you might have on hand. " - brant cox, sylvio martins, arden shore
"This delightful slice of Denmark comes from owner Karen Hansen, whose plucky baking team prepares raspberry jam-filled danishes and cakes like this Princess cake (admittedly, borrowed from nearby Sweden). Covered in a beautiful pale green marzipan and layered with whipped cream, jam, and custard, it’s hard to resist a slice in the mornings or afternoons with a strong cup of coffee. — Matthew Kang, lead editor" - Cathy Chaplin, Eater Staff
"Sometimes on slow days we slip into a very specific daydream, one where we cut off all our hair, move to the Danish countryside, and go by a new name. Whenever that daydream hits, we head to Copenhagen Pastry. The brightly lit bake shop has more eye-catching Danish goodies than an IKEA showroom, including raspberry kringles, princess cakes, chocolate-dipped macaroons, and, if you come on the weekend, dessert specials like silky apricot chocolate mousse cake by the slice." - nikko duren, sylvio martins
"This Danish bakery has some of the best sweet treats in the city, with items like almondy kringles, raspberry Danishes, nougat crowns, braided cinnamon lines, and more, all for very fair prices." - Eater Staff
