Every morning the smell of freshly baked cardamom swirls, sourdough buns, buttery croissants, and Danish pastries such as tebirkes attract hordes of hungry locals to this bakery, located on the pier opposite Dokk1.

The ice creams and the pancakes are the real people pleasers at this small café, but the open-faced sandwiches and light lunch meals are popular too. There is outdoor seating available.
