The nearest classic bakery from Klosteret
Sankt Peders Bageri
Denmark’s oldest bakery from 1652. A charming, no-frills place best known for its classic Danish pastries – especially the beloved onsdagssnegle. The selection is traditional, and though seating is limited, the warm scent of fresh baking more than makes up for it.

Copenhagen’s old fine conditori
La Glace
One of Copenhagen’s most iconic cake houses – and just around the corner. Expect queues. Try the rich hot chocolate with lightly whipped cream or their legendary ‘Sportskage’: a proud calorie bomb that never sees the next day.

The people are beautiful
Sonny
A stylish and effortlessly cool spot just minutes from Klosteret. The coffee is strong, the people are beautiful, and the vibe is distinctly Copenhagen. Seating can be tight, but the energy is warm. Try the turmeric latte – it’s almost medicinal.

Modern daytime dining
Atelier September
A bright, design-forward café where everything feels curated – from ceramics to clientele. Popular with architects, stylists and those who brunch on weekdays. Try the avocado on rye or the matcha – and don’t expect to find a seat at peak hours.
