Lagkagehuset

Finally stopped into this chain bakery! Coffee was great! Pastries were so enticing in their display cases — chose their chocolate angel roll, it was okay in taste! Must have been spoiled by the more attentive and friendly small bakeries around town! Will be back if in hurry for a pastry to go!

I love Copenhagen, and Lagkagehuset is part of what I love about it. This is definitely a must-​visit. Try the different «danish,» and coffee was so good, too. They call pastries wienerbrod, or Vienna bread. Viennese bakers are said to have brought pastry-​making to Denmark, but there’s something special about Copenhagen: I didn’t enjoy my pastry or bread experiences in Vienna. I couldn’t pronounce anything here but asked the friendly employees to recommend their favorites. Yum!

Sehr lecker hier. Anspreche Auswahl an Backwaren schon im Schaufenster. Preise sind ok. 38 Kronen für ein Pain au Chocolat und eine Zimtbrötchen zum Verzehr im Laden

This bakery is awesome! It’s so awesome that I came here twice in my two days that I was in Copenhagen. It’s on Stroget in the city center near the Town Hall, so it’s also really easy and convenient (and probably not too out of the way) to get to. They have traditional Danish pastries as well as some others, and I like their cinnamon rolls. I scraped off the chocolate on top, and the rest of it wasn’t actually too sweet. I really enjoyed the cinnamon rolls! I also got the Danish traditional pastry (I have no idea what this is called, but on the sign under it, it said «Danish tradition» or something to that extent), and the sweet pastry with poppy seeds on top. The pastries are just really fresh and aren’t overly sweet, and they don’t taste too buttery although I left mine in the bag for a while and the butter seeped through A LOT. It’s a really good bakery though, and it seems to be decently priced for Copenhagen. Before you order, grab a number and pay attention to what number the cashiers are calling so you can tell them what you want. The first time I came here, I was really confused and stood there for a while until I figured out the system. Definitely come by and try it though, it’s an awesome bakery with Danish pastries!

On our short trip to Copenhagen, we came across this little spot for a coffee and a pastry. We opted only for drinks, and the Chai Tea Latte did not disappoint.
Did not visit other locations, but this one was just what we were looking for.

What do they call a Danish in Denmark? Well, it’s not a danish!
This place is a must visit while in Copenhagen. In fact, I visited there 5 times while in the city. There’s multiple locations around the city and when ever you see one, just stop in because you can. I also tried a few other bakeries, but these are the best.
First you enter, you must grab a number. There’s a machine you need to go to and it prints out a number for you. You wait for your number to be called. In the mean time, you need to make the hard decisions of what you want. You can always order more and just take it home!
Get the Kanelstang. It’s a cinnamon twist. I’ve tried everything and always go back to that. It’s not overly sweet, has some icing on it, is nice and moist, and has this great taste as you devour it. Then, you get a great second taste as you lick your fingers!
One tip. Get there earlier in the day. As the day goes along, they run out of stuff and your selection gets reduced.

The one thing my friend told me before we went to Denmark was how much he missed the bakeries and going to them in the mornings to get fresh pastries/​breads and a cup of coffee. He said it was his favorite thing about growing up there and I completely and totally get it. It’s all SO good and warm and wonderful, and it’s something I wish I could eat all the time. The staff isn’t very friendly (at all really, but it may have been because I’m American and spoke no Danish?) but they do have delicious breads and pastries.
I agree with another reviewer that said service is abrupt and unfriendly, even when they called your number. I had questions about the different pastries (I had no idea what they were and couldn’t read the label) and was kind of met with frustration. Even when my friend asked the same questions in fluent Danish, he got the brush off too. I’m not sure why they won’t take 30 seconds to explain it? We usually grabbed a few rolls (with butter, of course) and then picked a random pastry to share that looked delicious.
Despite the poor service, there was literally nothing we tried that wasn’t tasty! So, you really can’t go wrong regardless of which thing you point at. The coffee was over-​priced in my opinion and I highly recommend grabbing coffee at your hotel if you can, but it seemed to be expensive (like everything) everywhere else. There’s no free refills, if you want more coffee it’s another 20 kroner.

Bakery chain that’s overrated in my opinion. Granted, the pastries are great; but to be honest, I haven’t had bad pastry here in Copenhagen. The coffee was good, but again, I had the same quality at Baresso Coffee.
Service here was abrupt and unfriendly. I imagine the cashiers are tired of serving tourists who can’t pronounce the pastry names and have to point (guilty). But seriously, fake a smile if you are going to work in the service industry.
The ambiance reminded me of Starbucks, but without the lounge effect or free WiFi.

All the bakery you can imagine can be found in here! From cheesecakes to pains au chocolat and danish typical desserts… With a good coffee or hot chocolate!!!

This is a café/​bakery chain, literally everywhere! I wish we had café/​bakery chains that were this awesome in the U.S. My friends and I made a quick stop in between doing touristy things. There was a rush of people so make sure you grab a ticket and listen closely for them to call your number! I ordered a cream Danish and a cortado, perfectly complimented each other.
I honestly don’t think you can go wrong with anything here because everything is just so fresh! My friends ordered something else, but devoured it too quickly for me to see what it was; it was probably delicious! I recommend them when you just need some energy or grab a window seat and just people watch. This particular location was kinda busy, but any Lagkagehuset should do!

What’s not to like? The pastries are amazing. .. so are the breads. The cakes are ok, but I really love the pastries! They also carry loaves of gluten free bread, but get there early if you want one! You can find these places all over (even in other Danish cities and the airport).

I was on the hunt for danish pastries after we got off the train from Stockholm. We ran into this place first and they had so many pastries to choose from! They put the gorgeous looking pastries in the window to lure you in. I got a chocolate danish and it was good. Nice and flaky but I think there was too much chocolate. My friend got the strawberry tart and I had a bite. It was the best tart ever because it wasn’t too sweet and was made with the freshest ingredients. If you’re in Denmark, you must visit this chain. The pastries are a little pricey, most are $ 5 and up.

Since I was in the land of the greatest pastries, I had to go to a bakery at least once… everyday. I was told I needed to try Lagkaheguset which is a chain but is very good. The item I had to try was the direktørsnegl. There are 2 Lagkagehuset locations within walking distance from my hotel and pretty much any landmark in the city. So, grabbing a pastry became a daily routine.
What I’ve tried include snegl (cinnamon roll with icing), choco croissant, kanelstang, direktørsnegl (cinnamon roll with chocolate), spandauer with cream, café latte, and varm chokolade (hot Belgian chocolate). The snegl, direktørsnegl, and hot chocolate are my favorites from here. The pastries are flaky and aren’t heavy. The snegl is perfect. The direktørsnegl is a little bit on the very sweet side. The hot chocolate is dark, rich and absolutely delicious.
They do take credit cards and no, you don’t need to know your PIN. Just tell them it’s a credit card and don’t require a PIN. This location is close to Radhuspladsen/​City Hall/​Hans Christian Andersen statue. Although there is a location a few steps from those landmarks. This one is more quiet.

I wish they didn’t have the numbers at the front.
I feel like it puts unnecessary pressure on one to ogle everything as fast as possible before your number is called.
Then only to panic order EVERYTHING in sight because you don’t want to wait for them to call you again and you cant be too sure that your missing something.
But I will endure any amount of stress for their chocolate desserts and their strawberry tart!

Prior to my travels, I was abstaining from carbs and sweets. However, when traveling to Denmark how could I not try a Danishin Denmark. The funny thing is that they don’t call them Danishes. Instead, they call they Weiner brod. Frankly, they can call them whatever their hearts desire, because they are so delicious. I strongly recommend visiting any of the many Lagkagehuset stores. They’re dotted throughout the city in the most convenient locations, so you will most likely spot one or three on your walk around the city. Lagkagehuset bakes the most flaky Danishes, brods and croissants in the world. Ordering a Danish is simple, keeping your selection may be difficult. Pick up a number at the ticket station and while you wait for your number to be called locate the pastry or pastries of your choice. Once they call your number, try to limit yourself to one or two pastries. The pastries at Lagkagehuset are delightfully flaky with just a touch of sweetness. Upon touch, they will shatter into a million pieces. Each bite you taste and feel the delicate butter, flour, sugar and salt. Heaven probably tastes like this. The almost croissant is divine. The chocolate marzipan and strawberry chocolate tart are equally as decadent. Yep, heaven does taste like this.

This is a fabulous bakery which has many locations all throughout Copenhagen. They offer a wide variety of freshly made bread, heavenly pastries and sandwiches at lunch time along with a good selection of hot coffee drinks.
On my last morning in Copenhagen, I stopped in to get breakfast and had one of the most delicious pastries of my entire life; it was soft with sesame seeds on the outside and apple on the inside. Seriously delicious! They also offer wi-​fi here which is a plus for travelers without a working phone signal.
Later on in the day, I went to another location to get a sandwich and chose the thai curry chicken. It wasn’t too good in my opinion. The bread was so hard and crunchy it actually hurt my jaw trying to chew it. The curry flavor was weird and didn’t complement the other toppings of the sandwich well.
Overall, I’d say this is a great place to get breakfast and coffee, but lunch wasn’t quite as impressive.

Ok, first of all, I want to start off by saying this is an AMAZING bakery. So good, and so fresh and the people are incredibly kind and understanding and the atmosphere is relaxed and beautiful. There’s an amazing view. It’s basically perfect.
NOW
I give it 4 stars because when I was sitting looking out the window a man came up next to me and started snorting coke, and not the soda. It was terrifying, and I know this does not reflect on the store itself, but it’d be nice if that never happened to anyone else. It was scary.
BUT
definitely love this place, and if I hadn’t had that unfortunate experience is give this 5 stars.

For the Americans who are reading this review, think of this place as panera but waaayyy better. The selection of fresh pastries and breads are out of this world. We ordered a raspberry filled pastry and another one that had nuts and cinnamon. Both were Divine and out of this world. If I had more time, I would have eaten at this place every day and tried a different pastry on each of my visits.

I know it’s a chain but I can’t seem to resist the pastries here. You really can’t go wrong with anything here. My favorite would be anything with chocolate, they have seating and a wide selection of coffee. Me likes!

I really enjoyed eating Lagkagehuset’s baked goods so much that I came back here a few times during my short stay in Copenhagen. I’ve tried a few different Danish and my favorite was the one with the chocolate on top (see the picture). I tried their salad for lunch, which was «A-OK»…The red beets salad wasn’ t the most exciting salad but it tasted healthy, lol. I would definitely go for the baked goods instead, you can’t go wrong. This is a good inexpensive place to take a break or have lunch. I’ve seen at least 3 Lagkagehuset shops in Copenhagen so even if you miss this one you’ll probably see another one not too far from where you are.

I thought the bakeries in Copenhagen were amazing. We visited quite a few of them, and Lagkagehuset was high on the list – there are quite a few of them all over Copenhagen.
The setting is very nice – stools looking out of large windows and tables. Very good coffee. The pastries were good, but not great. We had the snegl (snail) pastries in regular and chocolate. As well as some apples ones. We thought they were slightly on the sweet side and not as risen/​light as they could have been. In comparison, we very much thought Andersen Bakery was much better in pastries.
