Lagkagehuset is a renowned bakery and café located in the heart of Copenhagen, celebrated for its…read moreexquisite menu of pastries, breads, and beverages. Now, where did the name originate?
"The name comes from the appearance of the first bakery, which was a square building with alternating cream-colored layers resembling a layer cake."
This bakery also serves breakfast items, brod (open face )sandwich and coffees.
Here is a sample of pastry offerings in Danish:
Wienerbrød: The general term for what English speakers call "Danish pastries".
Kanelsnegl: A cinnamon roll.
Spandauer: A pastry typically filled with jam or custard.
Frøsnapper: A pastry sprinkled with seeds.
Tebirkes: A poppy seed pastry.
There are numerous locations for this bakery.
I visited the location in main hall of Kobenhaven K or Central Station before catching my train to Kronborg Castle.
The space was filled with people who were grabbing a ticket and then wait for ticket number to be called.
I was indecisive and thought I saw a pastry with lemon filling. The employee who seemed a bit flustered told me that it was not lemon and she did not have anything with lemon. It turned out to be vanilla custard which was just as good. I also tried the green sprinkled marshmallow ball. She placed my two items in their own bag. I wanted a shopping bag which she snidely says "It cost 5 krone". Unfortunately, my New York response was snide as well, "I don't care".
The two pastries were delicious.
However, service needs to be as exquisite as the items you sell, unfortunately this location is lacking in that.
There is another, smaller located downstairs from concourse whose employees are sweeter.
Nok sagt or enough said.
