Lille Bakery is a charming and delicious Copenhagen eatery
If you’re somewhat interested in keeping up with the Copenhagen food scene, you’ll know there’s an invasion of highly hyped bakeries opening up these days. Places like Juno Bakery, Andersen & Maillard and Hart Bakery make sure us locals never have to compromise on baked goods again (whilst also taking all our money).
Out of the handful of new bakeries, Lille Bakery located on Refshaleøen is probably the cosiest place. Admitted, it’s a bit of a hike to get here from most neighbourhoods in town, but once arrived on your rented bike, grab a seat at the communal table, and enjoy both sweet and savoury dishes from the menu offering breakfast, lunch, and the occasional pop up dinner.
On sunny days, light streams in the floor-to-ceiling windows in the airy loft space, and the inviting interior with all its effortlessly perfect details make you want to stay forever (or, at least for a meal and the following coffee/pastry break).
For the sweet tooth, their custard-filled ‘berliners’ are an absolute must, as well as the breakfast brioche with mascarpone and sour Mirabelle plums. Also try their organic sourdough bread with cheese. And the flaky veggie rolls as well.. Everything is baked on site in the large oven that was purchased after a succesfull Kickstarter campain earlier this year. Jesper, Sara and Mia (ex-alumni’s at establishments such as Noma, 108, and Fäviken) managed to reach their goal, and convert the old shipyard apprentice school to the beautiful, airy bakery of their dreams.
