My last visit to Copenhagen bakery in Burlingame & SF Bay Area to visit friends. This visit, was to pick up dessert to take to a friend's house for dinner this evening. The minute one walks in the main front door, one is drawn into the beautiful display of the baked goods available for purchase: cookies cakes cupcakes, croissants, cheesecakes and an ability to special order cakes for celebrations. read more

Copenhagen has a huge assortment of cakes and pastries. Their danishes are delicious. I've also tried their Mozart cake (with marzipan and apricot) and that was fantastic too. The service here is disappointing though - brusque and not very friendly. The setting is a bit dark and dated. read more

I love this place for their chinese chicken salad although the hubs says I can prolly make it myself which I guess I have to try now! Last time I came it was a bit sour and I swore it off but decided to try it again and was glad I did! It was still delicious and came with a nice little piece of bread. Scarfed the whole thing down. What would have put the salad over the top would have been if they added a little bit of chopped cilantro. Yum! Hubs had a sweet cream filled bun which he enjoyed. Nice spot to chill with the hubs. The wait staff is polite although sitting outside they never checked on us or brought us more refilled water. Not sure if this is an outside thing or not. When I sat inside they constantly refilled our waters. Copenhagen is a classic place to grab a bite or a bit of coffee and pastry or dessert. It's a great place to sit and people watch. I always enjoy eating here. read more

This Bakery is lovely. The vast selection of treats was enormous that it was hard to make just 1 choice. The thumbprint cookies were chosen, 1 raspberry and 1 apricot. A Tiramisu, rich and full of flavor and 2 other delightful desserts to take home. The array of cookie, cakes, breads were wonderful. They also had world cup final cookies to choose from. I am looking forward to returning to enjoy a pastry and coffee in the indoor seating area. It looked quaint and as if you were in a foreign spot. read more

Simply overrated and sell day old cookies at full price. My buddy's wife picked up some goodies for friends and I working on his home. Let's just say. The goodies weren't so good. When a bunch of men notice the cookies and pastry not being fresh at 10am. Not Good ! Later that day I recognizing the box while having a beer. I mentioned to my friends wife. That I had once visited the same bakery and found it tobe over price. She mentioned. She had paid over $70 dollars for the treats. And that she and my buddy have been living in Burlingame for over 20 years and heard good things about Copenhagen. She stated. Was it that bad ? I stated. The sh@t is still on your kitchen island and when have you seen these guys leave any food. Period ! read more

Excited to see this northern European bakery on the way to our trip. There was no price tag in each item but generally was very affordable (less than 10 each for a big piece of napoleon and princess cake). Had to try out Semla (Swedish snowman looking bread with fresh cream/almond paste inside) as soon as we got the bread for curiosity. It was not comparable to the authentic real semla I had in Sweden but fulfills the flavors, with that fresh cream, cardamom, and almond jam. The bread was a bit dry and wish it was freshly baked. Overall classic interior design and comfortable cozy local bakery vice, I'd love to visit again next time we pass by! read more

Copenhagen Bakery is a charming neighborhood establishment with rich history. Located in downtown Burlingame, it was originally founded in 1977 by a Danish husband-and-wife duo and passed on to a new family in 2022 who've done a wonderful job preserving its local character and bakery excellence. They offer a wide array of pastries, but their true standouts are the traditional Danish baked goods. Expect plenty of butter, laminated dough, cardamom, almond paste, custard, and fruit preserves -- staples of Danish pastry culture. - Chocolate Petit Four -- layered almond cake with buttercream, coated in chocolate and finished with pistachio bits; crisp edges, smooth textures, and beautifully balanced flavors - Mozart -- sponge cake layered with apricot, French vanilla chocolate, and marzipan, then dipped in chocolate; moist and rich with a nice tart marzipan profile - Almond Horn -- crescent-shaped almond paste cookie rolled in sliced almonds and dipped in dark chocolate; my favorite of the three -- a European classic done right Inside, the bakery features long glass cases brimming with pastries, and they also have a full restaurant menu. The vibe is warm and welcoming, with friendly service and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend stopping by for a Danish pastry (or three). read more

Had lunch there a month ago mid-week and the place was crowded. Luckily, I was able to order quickly and get a table. I have only eaten there for breakfast and had not tried lunch. I went with one their specials, a chicken sandwich and fries. It was quite good and I never thought of them as a good sandwich place. I will have to remember them whenever I am in downtown Burlingame. Another note, they have an excellent selection of brewed coffee. This guy loves coffee and I had to stay a little longer to enjoy an extra cup. Okay, only one pic this time. read more

We stopped by here after a morning appt at UCSF around the corner from Burlingame Ave. This Bakery & Cafe seems pretty large, and it is divided into a bakery section on one side and cafe section on the other. It was confusing at first with multiple doors. Plenty of seating inside, and lots of seating outside on the sidewalk. It's a pretty chill environment in the morning. You don't feel rushed at all. The vibe : just relax, read a book, look out the window, or meet up with friends for coffee or meal. And there's a spacious restroom in the back. No diaper changing area, however I appreciate the door hook for hanging purses. The bakery section has lots of display cases showing off cakes, pastries, etc. You will be overwhelmed browsing through their offerings. So here's the weird thing I noticed. Price is not labeled on anything here. Another thing is the Beverages Sign on the wall behind the counter (see photo) lists the usual espresso drink you'd expect to find, and again, there are no prices listed. I picked up a Strawberry Muffin and a Cappuccino. I don't know what each one cost individually. I only know that I was charged $9.50 for both. The cost is not what bothers me. It's the lack of transparency on their pricing. I was looking forward to this sweet treat & morning caffeine. Unfortunately, the Strawberry Muffin was unremarkable. There are a few strawberries visible on top, but none on the inside (see photo). The inside is cake-like with not one strawberry inside. This was disappointing. The cappuccino looked more promising. There was good foam on top! But when I reached the coffee underneath, I found it to have a burnt bitter taste. It was undrinkable. Is this why they give you sugar? I normally drink my cappuccinos without any added sugars. Adding this packet of sugar did not help improve the coffee. read more

Come for the cake - forgo the rest of the menu! We came for brunch today after noticing just about every other place was packed. That's not to say that Copenhagen was empty but there was definitely a little more breathing room. I ordered the pancake combo and a latte and yikes, the latte was a shot of burnt espresso in a cup of milk. Like, you could taste the smokiness burnt. I would never serve that. The breakfast plate was decent though. Pancakes were smaller than most but it had that nice fluffy yet chewy texture. The bacon was thick and griddled just right to be crisp yet meaty and my favorite part was the fried medium egg. This one was cooked perfectly. It had that satisfying crispy edge with a still runny yolk - tasty! We also had some omelettes on the table but the egg looked way too thick and less like a nice eggy wrap. We also asked to sub some toast with a danish but it wasn't until long after we left that we realized we never got the danishes! Bummer! read more

I visited Copenhagen recently with my daughter, who has a severe dog allergy, and was highly concerned by the lack of safety and health standards. There were multiple dogs outside seating area completely off-leash, and there is absolutely no signage posted requiring owners to restrain their pets.Even more troubling, I witnessed restaurant employees actively feeding these unleased dogs while working. This is a direct violation of basic health codes regarding food safety and hygiene, and it actively encourages loose animals to crowd the entrance. Management needs to address this immediately by enforcing local leash laws, retraining staff on health department regulations, and posting clear signage. Parents of children with allergies or those uncomfortable around loose dogs should be aware before visiting. read more

I love this place and think they have the BEST pastries, cookies, and cakes in the Bay Area. Their princess cake is a must for family birthdays and celebrations. I recently visited to pick up a few sweets and have lunch. I ordered a club sandwich and the turkey in my sandwich was covered in a clear jelly that absolutely grossed me out. I was unable to finish and ended up just eating the French fries. Won't be ordering lunch from there again unfortunately. read more

"Do you want it or not!" Is all the manager would say to me. I ordered a pink cake with gold lettering, And definitely no roses for my wife's birthday. Instead I got this monstrosity. When I expressed this to the manager. The manager refused to even give me a decent discount on this gigantic mistake. Her options were you get a 10% discount ($ 4.00) Don't take the cake at all. (Ridiculous option considering I ordered it the night before for a morning pick up for an afternoon party.) Or come back at 3 for a replacement. Make it make sense, cake cutting is at 1pm. Hence the early pick up time. So understandably i'm angry. Mostly because the actual manager could care less and only offered up a nonsense discount or go home with nothing. Customer care clearly doesn't matter here. I only wanted a reasonable discount for this huge mistake and she absolutely refused. I hope the owners are reading this. This is my go to location for all special occasions and this manager is doing a great job of not taking care your loyal customers. Safeway is up the street with 20 dollar cakes and they get the order right. Her employee who could not follow directions is also at fault here but she seemed well insulated by the manager. I was treated like I was the problem even though the mistake was theirs. My advice to you the customer. Any custom cake you order there make sure to take the slip where the order is being jotted down and double and triple check it yourself that it is correct. Because when your special occasion cake says happy birthday instead of happy anniversary pucker up. Because the manager will just tell you tough S**t. read more

This place has the advantage of being the only Danish bakery I'm aware of on the peninsula, but it's my favorite! I come here every time I come to Burlingame, and my favorite items here are the napoleon hat, almond horns, and the Sarah Bernhardt. I love almond flavored pastries and anything marzipan, so I always love danish baked goods. It has definitely gotten more expensive over the years but since it's the only place I know for danish goods I still come here. Prices are not listed but it's usually around $5-7 per item I believe, and $7 for the baguettes. I got a Dutch crunch baguette last time and it was really delicious, flavorful bread. There's also a cafe portion with food for lunch and dinner which I've had once, and the sandwiches were fine, but I really come here for the baked goods. Lots of indoor seating and some outdoor tables. Service is friendly and packages the baked goods with care. Definitely recommend checking this place out for danish pastries and cakes! read more

This was my friend's choice for a breakfast meeting on a Friday late morning. Finding parking a block away, I walked east on Burlingame Avenue here. There were people dining outside as we walked in. It was a bit confusing as there was no greeter and a barista station in the center and the bakery on the left. We walked to the left and glanced at some pastries near the cash register. After my friend and I decided on this, I walked to the take and go refrigerator near the coffee station and grabbed a bottled iced tea. I brought it to the bakery section and added it to our purchase. I had the French chocolate snail (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=ZgBoZhyvVlkE4iC4E-FUxQ), something I'd never seen nor tried before. It reminded me of an old fashion donut in flavor and texture which is a good thing. I enjoyed this very much and definitely would get this again. My friend got an almond croissant and seemed to enjoy it. We found a table that nestled the side of the bakery, across from the coffee station and refrigerated drinks. The coffee station was conveniently across the walkway, perfect for my Java drinking friend. The lady at the bakery was cordial and there was no other interactions with staff as we bussed our own table. There is outdoor dining and a dining room to the right of the restaurant entrance. There is also a separate entrance for the bakery though the spaces are connected. Given their wide selection of cakes and pastries (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=120&select=NuEmmjlqijbEFHp8IPa9RA), (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&start=120&select=sqxw4x_pDKZwmKd0b55tRQ), I look forward to look more carefully at their offerings. read more

I had lunch here with my mom on a Sunday afternoon. The line was relatively short compared with only a few people ahead of us. I had the mortadella panini with sweet potato fries and my mom had the caprese sandwich with a side salad. Portions were large and we were able to take half of our food home for leftovers. The bakery items looked tasty too so I'm going to have to try one of those items next time. read more

We ordered a Chicken Ceasar salad and a Cobb Salad. Both were not good. The chicken were strips of dry meat. We found brown pieces of lettuce in the greens. We had two glasses of iced water and there were little black particles floating around in the water. We asked for two glasses of ice and we added the water. The particles were from the ice. This could possibly be mold within the ice chest and needs to be cleaned. We spent $45 on this food. We will not be returning. read more

Lots of pastries, cakes, and cookies to choose from. The taste was eh; bavarian eclair filling was a bit light and not quite the typical custard-y texture. The eclair itself was fine, as was the chocolate on top. Overall it was not a great eclair experience for me, so I definitely wouldn't get it again. Perhaps a danish or other pastry would have been better. Surprisingly the drip coffee was excellent, good flavor and smooth drinkability. There were quite a few different flavors to choose from. I'd stop by again for some coffee. read more

The sachertorte was great. I'm not sure how authentic it was because I haven't eaten the original - I hear the original cake is on the dry side - but this one was yummy. The cake was chocolatey and moist with a thick apricot jam layer and a shiny chocolate glaze. Definitely a repeat! 5 stars for this item alone. The princess cake was just ok, the custard was a bit curdled. read more

Took another long overdue solo lunch at the bakery. I was delightfully excited to see the updated decor and serving plates. The counter service was very friendly and gave me a subtle tip I appreciated. She hinted to go for the "large" chicken salad as it now takes place of the small. I did take her advice along with a lemonade and my bill was around $27. The salad presented pretty way more colorful than before. Very generous in size and could not finish it all but not enough to bother with a box. The salad dressing is different every time I order this salad! Never bad but I'm guessing it depends who makes it that day or order. The new to me plate of a terracotta color was a pleasant surprise. After lunch I wandered to the bakery for a few cookies to take home and 6 were $18. Very fresh and delicious. Parking was very difficult and with a two hour meter leaves no time to shop or browse. Many new stores on the block would have liked to visit. read more

I've gone to Copenhagen in Burlingame a couple of times for baked goods & such. It wasnt until a recent trip back home to the Bay that I was able to have a sit down meal. It was a good one. We were in town on a recent Sunday & Burlingame Ave was packed. The weather was nice and clear, the farmers market was also going on along one of the side streets. We walked in on the cafe side of Copenhagen, ordered at the counter, got our order number and found a table for 2. I went with ham & eggs ($15.49) and that comes with hash browns & buttered toast. The scrambled eggs were good, the ham steak was nice & smoky, the hash browns were thin & crispy just the way I like it. Buttered toast for breakfast with jelly was perfect. My lady ordered eggs benedict ($17.45) and thats come classically with canadian bacon. She liked it. It was a perfect breakfast for us on that Sunday morning. It was a hectic and busy that morning so I feel for the staff. One thing, I would prefer is pets be at the outside dining area. It's tight quarters in the dining room and someone brings a decent sized dog, it's certainly disruptive. There is more than enough tables for sidewalk seating. Street parking out front and behind the shops & restaurants, lot parking across California Dr by the train station. read more

First time here, was just checking it out. Ended up deciding on the signature chocolate tart. It was light yet decadent, and the perfect sliced sliver to be satisfied with the provided portion. Each bite was dense so it definitely felt more filling than it looked. Service was pleasant, the woman not only gave me time to decide but also some recommendations on what dessert she felt was their best sellers. Inside, people were working on their laptops and had dibs on the best seats. I had a good table to myself though, not complaining :) After finishing, bussed my own table and left satisfied. Would definitely go back to try another dessert next time. read more

I found out about Copenhagen bakery from a colleague at work and it's a true hidden gem in the peninsula. For special occasions, this is probably the best place to get a very special cake. My birthday cake this year was absolutely fantastic, so decadent. We got chocolate cake with chocolate ganache- I love a big fat chocolate cake and Copenhagen bakery did not disappoint. The cake was huge, fed over 10 people. I was really happy with the thoughtful decoration, effort on each layer. The macaroons on top were a great touch. They're very easy to work with and kind folks. We got a princess cake (classic with green marzipan) and it was phenomenal. If you're looking for a well decorated cake with fantastic, unique options, this is the place to go!! read more

Strolling around downtown Burlingame & we've decided to eat at which restaurant can seat us the soonest. No regrets because to this day, I still think of the chicken marsala meal I had here. Cute Danish bakery & cafe. Bread & butter on the house. Capellini & wild mushrooms on angel hair pasta was surprisingly delicious! Who knew such simple flavors could be so good. But the chicken marsala takes the cake! Huge enough to be shared between two, served with mashed potatoes, & sauteed baby spinach... & I wish I asked for extra of the marsala sauce because it was THAT good. Totally forgot the name of the older lady that helped us here but she seemed to have been there for a while since most diners knew her by name & she knew them & their families as well. She was lovely & made our dining experience here even better. Felt like we were eating at her house. Lol. Loved our dining experience here. The food was great. The staff was incredible. We were too stuffed to get anything from the bakery side but we'll save that for next time. read more

I had given a 20% tip for counter service and they acted like I was a nuisance. I probably won't go back. read more
