If you’ve been tempted by Copenhagen’s famous bakery buzz, this one’s for you. In this video, Nadim R heads out to try three of the city’s most popular, viral spots and ranks them based on his actual experience—so you can chase the right pastries (and save your time for the truly great bites).
Copenhagen is packed with bakeries, but not every much-loved name hits the same level for everyone. Nadim’s tastings focus on the classics—croissants and cinnamon buns—plus a couple of standout flavours. Here’s how he rated each place, what he ordered, and what you can look forward to if you add these bakeries to your Danish itinerary.
Nadim R’s ranking: which viral bakery is worth it?
3rd place: RUG — cosy comfort with great bakes
Nadim R kicks off his ranking with RUG, placing it at number three. He describes the atmosphere as so cozy, which already sets a welcoming tone before the first bite. On the menu, he tries both croissants and a cinnamon roll.
He genuinely enjoys both pastries, but when compared with the other two bakeries, the overall experience just doesn’t edge them out for top spot. Still, if you’re after a comforting setting alongside delicious classic pastries, RUG is a solid choice.
2nd place: BUKA — crisp, flaky pastry perfection
Coming in at number two is BUKA, and Nadim explains exactly why it’s such a hit. He tries a pistachio croissant and a cinnamon bun, and both impressed him.
His verdict? They’re crispy and flaky—the kind of texture that makes you want to keep going for one more mouthful. He can see why the place is so popular, but he still feels it just missed the top spot.
1st place: Andersen Bakery — the best overall start to the day
Taking number one is Andersen Bakery. Nadim’s recommendation here is clear: this is the place he enjoyed the most overall, and it’s the perfect start to the day.
He orders a fata croissant and a pan chocolate, and calls them his favourites after comparing all three stops. The combination of the flavours and the overall experience makes Andersen Bakery the standout in his ranking.
What to order in Copenhagen if you want Nadim’s results
If you want to follow Nadim R’s approach and aim for pastries that scored well, use this quick checklist:
- Andersen Bakery (Top pick): fata croissant, pan chocolate
- BUKA (Runner-up): pistachio croissant, cinnamon bun
- RUG: croissants, cinnamon roll
Should you chase Copenhagen’s viral bakery hype?
Based on Nadim R’s visit, the hype isn’t completely misguided—it’s just that not every famous name delivers the same “wow” factor for every traveller. RUG offers cosy vibes and tasty classics, BUKA wins on crisp, flaky texture, and Andersen Bakery earns the top spot with its standout pastries and ideal morning feel.
Make it a day: how to turn bakery hopping into a trip highlight
Why not build a mini food tour into your Copenhagen plans? Start with a bakery breakfast, take your time choosing what to try, then enjoy a relaxed walk through the city to keep the momentum going. Nadim’s message is simple: there are so many bakeries in Copenhagen, and he clearly plans to return—because there’s always another one waiting to be tested.
