Looking for a blast of damn fine daytime baking? Copenhagen Bakery has an excellent track record of providing stunning buns, pert, palatable pastries and rolls that rock around the clock.
Their new location on Harewood Rd, smack in the middle of suburbia, is a far cry from inner city Armagh St but it appears to have been a good move from a dough-making perspective. The cafe was very busy when I visited just after 11 o’clock on a weekday morning and it’s not hard to see and understand why. The sun just streams in through the front windows, there’s ease of parking, the premises are capacious, modern and inviting, the food cabinets are filled with diet smashing delights, salmon, chicken and salad-filled scrumptiousness and the coffee is as good as you’ll find anywhere.
There was an air of anticipation as the queue of customers lined up across the front of the cabinets, eagerly choosing their lunches, each dreaming no doubt of sinking his or her teeth into the crispness of a hard roll or the softness of a croissant to release the burst of freshly baked flavour . And this is before getting to the fillings!
A hot, strong espresso with a Chicken Torpedo ($6.80)suited me fine and the whole was more than sufficient for a lunch meal. Plenty of shredded chicken, a couple of slices of tomato, cucumber, some shredded carrot, a small dab of mayo and a layer or two of lettuce. A well balanced, tasty treat if ever I saw and ate one.
The vast selection of goodies on offer is a surefire way of ensuring customers return to work their way through the line up. I’ll be back.
