Hart Bageri is a bakery in Copenhagen, Denmark, known for its naturally leavened sourdough breads and its flaky, buttery pastries. It is a place to stop in for something to eat on the go, or to take a loaf home.
What to expect
- Sourdough breads, made with natural leaven rather than commercial yeast.
- Flaky, buttery pastries, a good match for a coffee or a slow start to the day.
- A neighbourhood bakery, popular with locals as well as visitors who come to taste the city's bakery culture.
Why visit
The bakery was founded by Richard Hart, who previously worked at Tartine in San Francisco. For anyone interested in artisan baking, the shop offers a direct taste of that tradition, set within Copenhagen's own growing scene of celebrated bakeries. It works well as part of a morning walk through the city, with time to explore the streets around it afterwards.
Planning your visit
Because bakery stock is often limited late in the day, going earlier may give you a wider choice of breads and pastries. For current details, including opening times and the range on offer, check the bakery's website at hartbageri.com.
