Copenhagen Bakery

I’ve only been into this café twice and only ended up leaving with coffee. Their speciality seems to be cream cakes. I’m sure they taste delicious but I’m not really a fan of cream cakes. Because I don’t really eat cream I notice the strong cream (sugar?) smell as soon as I walked in.
What I can tell you with certainty is that the coffee tastes great and was handed to me speedily. That was once I poured it into a regular cup out of the takeaway cup which I wasn’t thrilled with and was filled to full.
Upshot, great coffee, friendly staff maybe better to leave the cakes and eating in to your elderly Aunty who might be more partial to lacy type décor.

Excuse me while I have a bite of lamington to wash down my mouthful of disappointment.
According to the Danish Australian Cultural Society, this unassuming suburban bakery in Bentleigh is supposed to be THE place to get authentic Danish bread in Melbourne. Well! Not only did they not have Danish bread, they didn’t have any bread. At all. I was not a happy camper.
In their defense, it was later on in the afternoon, so maybe all the bread had sold out. But it was not, despite the framed 1980’s posters displaying Denmark’s beauty, a Danish bakery. I was lied to by the internet! I’m guessing the Cultural Society has had it on their list for some time, but failed to notice that it’s changed hands and is now just a run-​of-​the-​mill Australian bakery.
There’s nothing wrong with standard suburban bakeries — in fact, I’m generally a fan — but my boyfriend has been talking up the wonders of Danish bread for weeks now, so we made a special trip out to Bentleigh, hangovers and all, only to be disappointed. I’m just glad Bentleigh has such a wealth of junk stores and op shops so the trip wasn’t a complete waste of time.
