Serving Copenhagen since 1976, originally called Marstrand but later Holm’s across several storefronts, the location at upscale Illum offers shoppers and downtown denizens an opportunity to enjoy the café coinciding with store hours daily.
Best known for the Østergade flagship, family owned it its third generation, Holm’s in Strøget offers classic recipes served by a friendly staff including savories such as Seed-crusted Graeskar Bolle and a respectable Pain au Chocolat.
Taking time with Coffee and flavored Lattes, prices comparable to the likes of Juno or Hart, Holms Cardamom Roll glistens beneath Sugar with bold aromatics and a good chew while the Almond Croissant is poorly laminated and drippy with texture-compromising goo.
Better-off with Cookies such as a Raspberry Sandwich with Pistachios, though the thick Chocolate Chip Hazelnut version is also good, Holms Tebirkes finds itself equally flaccid as the Almond Croissant though thankfully less cloyingly sweet.
