Buka
Bakery & coffeeIndre By, Copenhagen
Laminated pastry on Store Kongensgade — one of five Bukas in the centre.
Illustration made with AI
Buka makes laminated pastry: croissant dough folded into swirls, knots and squares where the layers matter as much as the filling. The counter is ready from seven every day of the week.
It is a bakery built around one thing, and it does that thing well. There is no rye bread and no birthday cake — there is butter, dough and folds. The coffee is drinkable, but the pastry is the reason.
Open every day from seven to six, weekends included. There are five Bukas in the city centre; this guide points to the one on Store Kongensgade, but the baking is the same at all of them.
It suits breakfast on the move and anyone who wants something to take home for coffee. Come early for the widest choice — the popular pieces are gone during the morning.
Why it's worth a visit
- Laminated pastry in many shapes
