One thing that the Danes definitely know how to do is baking. Danish pastries and cookies are enjoyed worldwide and ostekage (cheesecake) has been around in Denmark for a very, very long time. Whether you’re looking for a simple slice of vanilla cheesecake or something decadently chocolatey, Copenhagen’s cheesecakes certainly don’t disappoint.
1. Cakenhagen Tivoli
Cakenhagen sits right at the entrance to Tivoli and it’s just as delightful as the park itself. The classic cheesecake with its biscuit base is perfectly creamy and if you’re looking for something with a tangy kick then try the raspberry swirl. Chocolaholics simply must indulge in the triple chocolate cheesecake too!

2. Andersen Bakery
Andersen Bakery is a charming spot that mixes Danish and Japanese flavours and baking techniques. The New York cheesecake is full of delicious vanilla but for something really indulgent you should try the white chocolate and raspberry version. It has customers returning again and again to enjoy a slice.

3. Bertels Kager Frederiksberg
Bertels Kager Frederiksberg is a treasure trove when it comes to cheesecakes. Their banana cheesecake is a pure delight – creamy with sweet banana that balances the flavours perfectly.

Hart Bageri is another fantastic spot. The Basque cheesecake is a true work of art. Its lusciously smooth consistency, combined with a delicately caramelized crust, is simply sublime.
