The Best Bakeries in the Nordics

Bakeries with takeaway counters

Mannz Bageri in Lund is a small artisan bakery selling pastries, buns and sourdough loaves. Bread and pastries are baked on site, and the oven can be seen from the counter. Filter coffee is served to sit with or to take away. Lillebrors bageri in Stockholm sells cinnamon and cardamom buns, semlor and sourdough bread from a takeaway counter. Queues form at busy times but move quickly, and the buns come out of the oven warm.

A bakery inside a hotel

DEIG workshop is inside the Exeter Hotel in Reykjavík. It serves bagels, doughnuts, sandwiches and bread, made with Icelandic ingredients where possible. The bagels are made to order, with a choice of fillings and cream cheeses. The crème brûlée doughnuts are torched when ordered.
