Andersen Bakery

Andersen Bakery has won prizes for its baking and is the neighbourhood's fixed morning stop on Islands Brygge. They open at half past six every day, weekends included, which makes them a rarity.

The range is broad and classic — rolls, Danish pastry and cakes — and they also make special-occasion and wedding cakes to order. It is a bakery that can do everything rather than one that does a single thing.

Open every day from half past six until seven in the evening. The long hours make it one of the few places where you can pick up bread after work. The house has one more Copenhagen address, on Ørestads Boulevard 49a, but that one opens at seven and closes at six — Islands Brygge is the early one.

It suits a packed lunch as much as a Sunday morning with rolls, and there are seats outside facing the street.
