When Master Confectioner Nicolaus Henningsen opened his doors at Skoubogade 3 in 1870, he never thought that the confectionery would stay at the same location for more than 5 generations.
Guests have come and go in steady stream over the past decades - all overwhelmed by the extensive assortment of cakes, cookies, chocolates and ice creams.
With furnitures dating back to the 1920s, the ambiance was pleasant, making it a wonderful place to indulge oneself with sweets and caffeine.
Sportskage (DKK 52) - If you could only order one thing here ( which is not recommended ) make it the Sportskage. This house specialty was created back in the 1891 for a theater play called "Sports Man". The treat was amply riched by crushed nougat, whipped cream and macaroon bottom.
Fragilite (DKK 31) - Also not to be overlooked is the Fragilite, which literally means fragile in French. This lovely pastry was made of almond bottom, mocha butter cream and decorated with powdered sugar.
Efterarskage (DKK 52) - Another name to drop is The Autumn Cake, an art piece filled with chocolate truffle, chocolate bottom and smothered with butter chocolate!
Conditori La Glace is not just a go-to place for desserts, they also rule when it comes to hot chocolate.

DeleteI am going sugar high looking and reading through this post...
ReplyDeletehahahhaha .. i know... i didn't had dinner after this meal.
DeleteWe pass by I think this place but tried out some other. The desserts are so tempting, esp the choc based one. Finding such cafes in Copenhagen is so common and at times we were lost of which one we should go for.
ReplyDeleteMy 3 days in Copenhagen was superb, the sightseeing, hotel etc etc.
I really enjoyed Copenhagen as well, my only complain is the currency! everything is so expensive there...
